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 freeingWhat it means to father yourself firstHow to stop “trying” and start planningBuilding discipline when you’ve never been modeled itAnd 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.Episode 250 is live.
