About this episode
Jared kicks off this Mailbag Monday with a listener who’s ready to see the world! But her friends are stuck in life stages that make travel impossible. Should she go solo, join a travel group, or keep waiting for a plus-one? Jared shares personal insights from his own travels, tackling the guilt and self-doubt that come with booking a trip alone. Then, we dive into a complicated relationship dilemma from a self-proclaimed “40-year-old cradle robber” dating a younger man with overbearing parents. His dad’s disapproval and outdated timeline for marriage and kids are casting a shadow over their future. Jared breaks down the pressure, the power dynamics, and whether it’s possible to build a life together without parental support! This listener actually has a couple more problems than she thinks!
