On This Week's Feedback Friday:

Can Gabe fend off being chilly in Chile with a warm bowl of (vegan) chili? He may tell us, or he may not. Perhaps his story is altogether more death-defying and sure to have you on the edge of your seat, but you'll only know if you don't skip ahead to about 26 minutes and 35 seconds!
Your young friend clawed her way back from heartbreak and depression after her baby's father vanished — only to learn her own mother quietly adopted the child and now refuses to give her back. Intercepted mail, surrendered custody, and her church branded a cult. Is there any path home to her daughter?
Your daughter handed her husband the family finances for 21 years and trusted every word — until one credit report detonated the whole story. The $85k in savings? Gone. Secret high-interest loans, hidden cards, lies about his bonuses, $75K in debt, and she's staying. So where did the money go?
Recommendation of the Week: Freezing your credit — a free, fast, legally guaranteed way to lock down your credit report (and your kids') against identity theft and synthetic ID fraud.
Jordan and his 80-year-old dad have a heart-to-heart about the benefits of therapy even in later life on this special Father's Day BetterHelp-sponsored segment.
