Summary

Feather, feather! Jared is back with another round of dating and life dilemmas, tackling the tough questions with his signature mix of empathy and roast-level honesty.

First up, a listener wonders if she’s the bad guy for prioritizing her boyfriend over her long-time friend group’s brunches. She’s a single mom with limited free time—so is she selfish, or just setting healthy boundaries? Jared breaks down how to bow out without burning bridges!

Then, we hear from a divorced doctor navigating the tricky world of name changes. Should she keep her professional identity intact while taking her future husband's name socially? Or will this lead to a lifetime of awkward explanations at parent-teacher conferences? Jared weighs in on how to balance tradition, career, and personal identity.

Tune in for relatable dilemmas, sharp insights, and plenty of laughs. Don’t forget to share, subscribe, and keep sending those emails!
