A positive update from the listener who wrote in for interview advice (question two, episode 1324)!
Four months ago you earned a shiny promotion to a leadership role — and then quietly kept doing your entire old finance job too, with no transition plan, no extra pay, and a passive manager who'd rather you stayed quiet. The company has the money; they just don't have the incentive. How do you force clarity without getting branded "not a team player"? [Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]
You were sexually assaulted at your kids' father's place of worship — a Buddhist center with a documented history of abuse and cover-ups — and reporting it got you silenced, suppressed, and forced to keep attending. Now you share custody, your ex still brings the kids there, and you're desperate to keep them safe without scaring them. How do you talk to your children about this? [Thanks yet again to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis and attorney Corbin Payne for helping us with this one!]
Your 83-year-old mother has been "dying" for a decade, bankrolls your life, and uses that money as a leash — keeping you next door, watching from her window, after a childhood betrayal you're still carrying. You feel guilt, shame, and a creeping sense you have no power here. But what if the most uncomfortable question is how much agency you've had all along?
Recommendation of the Week: Bose SoundLink Flex — Gabe's everyday Bluetooth speaker and his all-time favorite.
Gabe revisits last week's tangle over belief and counseling, then reaches for David Mamet's True and False — a book ostensibly about acting that turns out to be about how we white-knuckle our beliefs instead of simply accepting what's in front of us.
