This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared dives into the emotional chaos of evolving friendships and frustrating family dynamics. One listener feels stuck playing the “Single Entertainment” in her friend group, even though she’s now in a serious relationship and wonders if it’s time to stop laughing off the teasing. Another writes in about the mounting pressure from her in-laws, who expect her husband to cat-sit all summer despite their own busy life with a baby and dog. Jared offers his signature blend of humor and empathy while unpacking these dilemmas, spotlighting how communication and boundaries can ease resentment. He reminds listeners that relationships naturally shift, and it’s okay to assert your new reality even if it ruffles feathers. Whether it’s pushing back on guilt trips or finding clever ways to keep the peace, Jared has you covered. It’s a Mailbag Monday, so keep those emails coming!
