Summary
Your openly swinging friends brought a third into their relationship, and you worry about how it's affecting their kids. Welcome to another Feedback Friday!
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- You're concerned about your friends' unconventional swinging throuple lifestyle and its potential impact on their children. How do you check in without seeming judgmental?
- Pregnancy-related fatigue has you struggling to balance your professional and personal life, and the guilt of underachievement is bringing you down. What do you do when life gets in the way of your own expectations?
- Your partner plans on ditching responsibility for his ballooning student debt because he's not optimistic he'll ever be able to pay off the predatory terms he agreed to when he was younger and ill-advised. While you morally agree with his stance, you wonder what your obligation would be if you remained together and it came time to merge accounts. [Thanks to certified financial planner David Gilmore for helping us with this one!]
- You filled in for your manager during her eight-week vacation, built strong connections within the company, and gained the respect of your colleagues while stepping up to the role. Now that she's back, how can you use this valuable experience to prove you're ready for more responsibilities (and a bigger paycheck)? [Thanks to executive coach and From Start-Up to Grown-Up author Alisa Cohn for helping us field this one!]
- Due to a previous marriage to an abusive alcoholic, your partner is intolerant of being around people who are even modestly intoxicated. How can you ask him for a little grace and freedom to celebrate your son's upcoming wedding without disrespecting his boundaries?
- Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

| 0:07.9 | Feedback Friday producer, the Stevia Packet, sweetening up this occasionally bitter cup |
| 0:13.0 | of life conundra, Gabriel Mizrahi. Did you say Stevia? Yeah, I prefer Stevia. It's |
| 0:18.4 | not Stevia. Oh, I don't know. That sounds like somebody's name that they made up for |
| 0:22.7 | their kid. Stevia. Yeah, it's like, oh, we named our daughter Stevia. Because her dad |
| 0:28.7 | is Stevia. It just sounds dumb to me. It's Stevia, isn't it? Come on. Wait, is it really |
| 0:33.4 | Stevia? No, I just feel dumb. I think it's Stevia. I think it is Stevia. Whatever, it's |
| 0:38.7 | Stevia forever now. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills |
| 0:42.7 | of the world's most fascinating people. Sounds like a European pronunciation. Stevia. |

| 1:13.8 | and no sign of that letting up, which has worked wonders for our guest list, by the way. |
| 1:17.6 | This week, we had Forest Galante back on the show. This guy is so incredible. Forest Galante goes |
| 1:22.8 | and finds like extinct animals and things that we thought were never to be seen again. |
| 1:28.4 | This guy is just such a fascinating character. We also had my friend Jen Cohen on becoming bold. |
| 1:34.3 | She's a very successful person. And how do I put this the right way? Because we are friends |
| 1:39.4 | out on a offender. It's because of her work ethic, but it's not because of her giant brain. |
