On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- You were raised by a manipulative mother with serious mental health issues who impersonated you to your friends and lied about your absent father. Now at 29, you're isolated, your sister won't speak to you, and mom has vanished. Can you rebuild trust — and yourself — after so much damage?
- Your partner is loving, attentive, and supportive, but he's hiding alcohol and nicotine habits, and his lies trigger your past trauma from being cheated on. Add in a cancer-stricken cat, job loss, and 600+ rejected applications, and you're in survival mode. Where do you even begin to untangle this?
- You and your mom swapped social media feeds and discovered just how different your political echo chambers are — and how engineered that division really is. Now you want to burst your filter bubble and find balanced news sources. But in today's algorithm-driven media landscape, is that even possible? [Thanks to internet pioneer and social media critic Jaron Lanier for helping us with this one!]
- Recommendation of the Week: A passport holder with an AirTag attached (plus a sub-rec: personalized passport books as a holiday gift).
- You're pivoting from an oversaturated, unfulfilling career into cybersecurity. You've earned the certifications, but breaking in feels impossible. Your partner, your future family plans, and a potential move to Melbourne all hinge on this career switch. How long do you keep trying before calling it quits?
