Doing pretty good. How about you?
Excellent. I'm doing great. What's up in your world?
Sure. So my question for you is, how do I handle my boyfriend's female friend who excludes me in group settings?
That whole sentence is strange. Tell me about this person you're dating.
Sure. So my boyfriend and I have been together for two and a half years, and he recently bought a house about a year and a half ago. And he has been friends with this woman for about eight years. They met in college, and I can't seem to get along with her, and I'm not sure why she feels threatened by me.
That's the impression that I've been kind of given, and him and I don't know how to navigate this.

Chapter 2: What should I do if I feel excluded by my partner's friend?
But I think the worth starts with you acknowledging it and being very specific about what you want. And then you have to lay it out for him. We've been together two and a half years. I moved into your house. Here's what moving forward looks like for me. I got to be a priority. I got to be number one.
And so if that means like you going over to a group of friends' house that don't like me, don't want me around, I'm going to ask you to choose because I want to be with you. If it's a bunch of dude bros, yeah, that's weird. Don't go over there. But like to watch the fights or whatever, like don't do that. But you know what I'm talking about.
I don't have to dance around and not be welcome places with you. I want us to build a life together. I don't want you to build this life or keep this life that you had and then you kind of fit me in over here on the side and I'll just take whatever scraps fall off your table. I want to share a meal with you. I hate this for you, Caleb.
I don't think this is all she wrote because I recognize a lot of myself in him. Especially years ago, years and years when I was first dating and first thinking about getting married. I was trying to keep everything the way it was and add this new thing, this new forever partner. And I had a lot of reckoning to deal with. And I needed some people in my life to call me out on it.
And so maybe you're that person for him. But it all starts with you asking yourself, what do I want? And then you got to say it all out loud. You have to be willing to be fully known. Thanks for the call, Kayla. We'll be right back. It's the new year. It's my favorite time of year.
And everyone starts thinking of new routines, building better habits, stopping things that aren't helpful and overall building a better life. And we all know that most new go get them goals are a waste of time because we don't put in the systems that make them sustainable. So how about this year? Let's focus on fewer, more sustainable goals and let's build better systems.
And let's start by curating a system and a goal that's good for your soul. Let's start this year by focusing on our spiritual lives. In 2025, I wanna focus on prayer and meditation. And to do this, I recommend Hallow, the number one prayer app in the world. I use it and I love it.
Hallow offers over 10,000 guided prayers and meditations to help you grow closer to God, answer hard, hard questions and find peace. Hallow has some amazing daily prayers that will be perfect to start your year off with. And one of Hallow's most popular features is the daily reflection with Jonathan Rumi from the TV show, The Chosen.
You can also check out the daily scripture readings, the nightly sleep prayers, the children's sections. And if you don't have much time, there's even something called the daily minute. Hallow makes it easy to build a system and a routine by making a schedule, adding reminders and fostering a community for accountability.

Chapter 3: How can I address my boyfriend's lack of support?
Yes, she does. But when she has this depression, everything goes out the window. Okay. She just like bundles up and just becomes like a,
something in a hole you know that's it yep yep yep okay so if you said um what do you do for a living drive truck oh sweet okay so if you said listen I want to focus I've got about 40 years left before the good lord comes and gets me and I want those last 40 years I want to be able to get up and down off the ground
And I want to be able to roll around with my dog or my grandkids or get up in and out of a truck or whatever, as long as I can. I'm going to go meet with a doctor about my blood, my blood work, my testosterone and stuff. Would you come with me and do it too? Because I want us to both have a baseline as we head into our fourth quarter. Would she do that with you in support of you? Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Okay. Yeah, she does that quite a bit. I would love for her to get hormones tested. I would love for her to get just a baseline because there may be something physiologic that happens. And if you... Go ahead.
She does have a doctor that runs her hormones and her thyroid. So all of that always comes back normal.
Okay.
But it's around October, November, and starts, the peak goes up and goes way down. Sure.
Does she have any experiences with loss in October or November?
Well, her mother did pass away 20 years ago in December.

Chapter 4: What are the signs of an unhealthy relationship dynamic?
Nope.
Hashtag low self-esteem. Number two, my wife.
I wonder why when I'm built up so much by my teammates.
Number two, you're right. You and my wife are saints. You're, you know what? You're not a saint.
I am not a saint. I will clearly, I will say that I am not a saint.
My wife is, but you are worthy of, you'll be in the express lane to heaven. There will be some people that are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, are you sure? And the guy at the back will be like, at the podium will be like, yes, I'm sure.
Yeah. Sounds weird, but yeah, we're letting her in.
Yeah. Like, yes, I know, I know, I know. But yes, she's in.
And then they're just going to say, she works with John Deloney. They'll be like, ah.
