On This Week’s Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
- How did the GiveDirectly campaign to raise money for two villages in Kenya go (introduced by Rory Stewart on episode 867)? We’d say pretty well, actually! — and you can still help transform the lives of people in poverty by giving directly. Through December 31st, all donations will be doubled until $250k in match funds pledged by 21 donors run out. This is a true match, so any unused match funds expire after midnight ET on New Year’s Eve.
- Are you really fine after a fire consumed your home and all you owned, or is there trauma you’re still taking time to process?
- In the aftermath of your breakup, you sought therapy to cope while your ex-fiancée took a more questionable series of approaches that involved accusing you of abuse. Despite residual negativity, you remain hopeful you might be able to mend your differences and rekindle the relationship. Is this just wishful thinking?
- While you’d love to honor your late father’s memory by attaching his name to a sizeable donation you made to a charity in your close-knit town, you’re wondering if leaving it anonymous and remaining invisible might be the wiser choice.
- Your addiction-struggling brother chose drugs over visiting your mother in the hospital when she was terminally ill, leaving you to make end-of-life decisions per her wishes. Now that she’s gone, he’s loudly proclaiming to anyone who will listen that you killed her. How should you handle this?
- A listener shares how he’s translated some of our advice into real-world application.
