On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- How do you tell your friend he talks so much that other people don't want to be around him? And could there be underlying issues for his incessant jibber jabber?
- Is resenting your spouse just one symptom of living a life that seems out of your control? What does it mean to be a victim, and how can you start regaining control?
- It seems like you have most of the trappings of a fulfilling life -- so why are you too depressed to enjoy any of it? What's really missing from the equation?
- Is it possible your significant other -- who takes you for granted, talks down to you, and doesn't appreciate or attempt to reciprocate the effort you put into the relationship -- is just a jerk?
- Why did the person you're dating wait to tell you a few months into the relationship that she doesn't believe in monogamy?
- What's the next step to take when a volatile and potentially suicidal loved one constantly cries out to you for help but never follows the advice you try to give them?
- Recommendation of the Week: The Americans
- Quick shoutouts to John from Elcott City and Tom Bilyeu and his Impact Theory Fans!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason |
| 0:04.3 | DeFilippo and today Linda Carroll. Here on the Jordan Harbinger show we love having conversations with |
| 0:09.6 | our fascinating guests and this week we had Shane Snow talking about how to manage and build |
| 0:13.9 | talented teams and Cal Fussman telling stories as usual and talking about his amazing life and |
| 0:19.2 | interviews with all the wonderful and sometimes not so wonderful people that he's come across. Of |
| 0:24.0 | course our primary mission is to pass along there and our experiences and insights to you. |
| 0:29.7 | In other words the real purpose of this show is to have conversations directly with you and |
| 0:34.5 | that's what we're going to do today here on Feedback Friday. You can reach us at Friday at |
| 0:39.1 | Jordan Harbinger.com and Jason we've got Linda Carroll with us. Why don't we tell everybody why |
| 0:45.2 | she's why she's one of our favorites. Brutal Linda gets to take the heat for the things that |
| 0:51.0 | sometimes we don't want to say but she does so that's why we love Linda because she does not |
| 0:57.3 | skirt around the issues and tells it like it is. That's right. And Linda how long have you been |
| 1:02.0 | a marriage and family therapist. Is that what you do exactly? Is that your title? My title is |
| 1:07.0 | Marriage and Family Therapist which I've done for about 37 years and the last two years I've |

| 1:19.4 | go there and be a therapist because I'm only licensed in Oregon and I thought I'll do that to make |
| 1:24.0 | it legal but then I got into coaching and I love it. So that's a whole other thing I'm doing now |
| 1:29.8 | is doing love coaching. That's so interesting. So you can't call it therapy if it's over state lines. |
| 1:36.8 | There's a joke in there somewhere. Yeah. There isn't. Yes there's like there is a difference between |
| 1:42.0 | therapy and coaching. I mean with therapy whatever comes in the door and whatever the issues |
| 1:47.9 | I can usually manage them or I need to sometimes refer but with coaching what happens. Sometimes |
