</strong><em>[Thanks to HR professional </em><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannatate/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Joanna Tate</em></a><em> for helping us with this one!]</em></li><li><strong>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.</strong> Now you share custody, your ex still brings the kids there, and you're desperate to keep them safe without scaring them. <strong>How do you talk to your children about this? </strong><em>[Thanks yet again to clinical psychologist </em><a href="https://drerinmargolis.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Dr. Erin Margolis</em></a><em> and attorney </em><a href="https://www.strachnlaw.com/about-corbin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Corbin Payne</em></a><em> for helping us with this one!]</em></li><li><strong>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.</strong> You feel guilt, shame, and a creeping sense you have no power here. <strong>But what if the most uncomfortable question is how much agency you've had all along?</strong></li><li><strong>Recommendation of the Week: Bose SoundLink Flex</strong> — Gabe's everyday Bluetooth speaker and his all-time favorite.</li><li><strong>Gabe revisits last week's tangle over belief and counseling, then reaches for David Mamet's <em>True and False</em></strong> — 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.</li><li>Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?
