On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • Gabe went on his own 16-hour dooze cruise across the Baltic Sea instead of taking a one-hour flight from Helsinki to Stockholm. Was sailing his way through the salty sea spray worth its trouble? You can opt to hear all about it or skip ahead to around eight minutes and 30 seconds [00:08:30] if you're one of those kinds of listeners!
  • You left your neglectful ex who prioritized drinking with buddies over parenting, moved on to a healthy relationship, and found happiness. But now your parents have sided with your ex — hosting him, lending him their car, even hanging out with him. Why would they betray you like this?
  • You've maintained a 25-year friendship with someone who dominates conversations, rarely asks about you, and treats service workers rudely. After she experienced a devastating loss, her behavior toward you worsened. How much bad treatment should you tolerate in the name of grief and loyalty?
  • You've spent 15 years in the trades making low six figures, but it was never your dream — just a backup plan. Now your income can't keep up with rising costs, your wife stays home with three kids, and you're eyeing a career change that pays less and might not suit you. Should you leap or stay put?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Swanwick Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses (10% off here)!
  • You're 17, itching to see the world beyond your medium-sized hometown, inspired by travel stories that make you want to backpack and grow through discomfort. But everyone's pushing you to apply to colleges now. Should you travel before college or after? Does the order even matter, or will waiting mean missing the window?
