On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- An eagle-eared listener spotted a mistake on episode 919 and wrote in to correct the record and clarify the facts!
- Your close friend's spouse is punching walls, deflecting blame, and getting verbally aggressive — and now she wants to reconcile with him. You're a police officer who sees this stuff escalate for a living, and your own husband thinks you should just play nice to save the friendship. What do you do?
- After seven years of trying, you finally got pregnant through IVF — only for your husband to end up on a ventilator at 20 weeks. You had to make the call to let him go, then immediately fight for your premature baby's life. Now your friend — who promised you a baby shower that never happened — just sent you an invitation to hers. How do you navigate that gut punch?
- Your four-month-old daughter already has a digital footprint she never consented to, thanks to "Glamma" posting everything on Facebook and "Nan" uploading her photos into random AI apps that turned your baby into a purple fire-breathing monster. You're doing everything right with a private family photo app — but how do you get the grandparents on board without starting a war?
- Recommendation of the Week: Hoopla and PressReader — two free library-card apps that give you instant access to e-books, courses, TV shows, and thousands of newspapers and magazines from around the world in their original print layout.
- You've been dwelling on things you said (or never got to say) to people who are no longer in your life, and forgiveness feels like a destination you can't quite reach. Is self-forgiveness even possible — or is there a different path to peace that you haven't considered yet?
