Summary
What do you do when you realize nobody’s coming to save you? 🧠💔📉
In this episode, we hear from a 24-year-old man who's been in a relationship for almost a decade—but feels like he’s barely shown up for any of it.
He moved across the country to be with the love of his life. She’s held down the bills, the home, and the hope. And while he battles depression, anxiety, and a lack of discipline, he's asking the hard questions: How do I stop drowning in self-pity? How do I become the man she deserves… and the man I want to be.
Glen and Yvette dig deep on this one.
We talk:
- Why nobody’s coming to save you—and why that’s actually freeing
- What it means to father yourself first
- How to stop “trying” and start planning
- Building discipline when you’ve never been modeled it
- And why love isn’t a crutch—it’s a call to rise.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own life—or like you’re falling behind the partner who believes in you—this one’s for you.
