On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• Your 15-year-old daughter approached you with a request that left you speechless — she wants help purchasing something to explore her own body safely. You escaped purity culture and want better for her, but where exactly do healthy boundaries live in this uncharted territory? What does a sex-positive parenting expert have to say? [Thanks to Dr. Linda Baggett for helping us with this one!]
• Your sister-in-law has burned through a $100k inheritance on vacations, alienated the entire family with vicious voicemails, and is now hunting down your daughter's friends to badmouth everyone who's cut her off. You've been nominated as the family's designated messenger of doom — but how do you deliver a "we're done forever" speech with compassion?
• You've weathered seven moves, two abortions, and a trailer lifestyle with your husband — but now that you're ready to settle down and start a family, he seems to have ghosted his own future. He told you he didn't believe in marriage, yet you married him anyway. Now you're daydreaming about other relationships — is this marriage salvageable, or are you just delaying the inevitable?
• Recommendation of the Week: Flighty Flight Tracker App
• You went on a passionate rant about airplane window shade etiquette, and the internet had opinions. From claustrophobic flyers to grandmas photographing clouds to rhinestone-cowboy-hat disco balls — listeners are pushing back hard. Is keeping your shade open a cardinal sin, or are you the unreasonable one?
