Join us as we unpack the meaning, the message, and the consequences of this verbal free-for-all—and whether there’s still value in knowing when to hold your tongue, and when to throw caution (and courtesy) to the #%&*! wind.

Before jumping to conclusions, ask yourself: Am I being too quick to blame? Sometimes the better path is perspective, not punishment. Tune in for a thoughtful look at how blame shapes our reactions, our relationships, and our ability to move forward.

On this week's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom explores the complex nature of gratitude and obligation. True gratitude, when genuine, can be life-changing. But when imposed, it can feel much closer to shame than appreciation. How do we distinguish between authentic gratitude and the obligation to express it? And when we give, do we do so freely—or with an unspoken demand for acknowledgment? Reflecting on the words of Teresa of Avila, "When one reaches the highest degree of human maturity, one has only one question left: 'How can I be helpful?" Mitch explores how shifting our focus from receiving thanks to simply giving can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
