Summary

It’s Mailbag Monday on the JTrain Podcast, where Jared Freid answers listener emails with honesty, insight, and just enough humor to keep things moving! This week, Jared reflects on dating dynamics, what it means when someone might be on the spectrum, and how to have hard conversations in relationships. He also shares thoughts on self-diagnosis, boundary setting, and why comparison can quietly erode our confidence. Plus, an update from the road, a quick plug for the Patreon, and a subtle rant about TikTok “trauma” stories. As always, your emails fuel the show, so keep them coming. New episodes drop five days a week, with Monday reserved for the advice you didn’t know you needed.
