As Jordana prepares for the birth of her second child, she and Dr. Naomi unpack how social media is engineered to spike anxiety, especially as Jordana gears up for labor. One listener writes in about her chronically grumpy father-in-law who’s suddenly sunshine and light after starting Ozempic, and she’s left wondering what to do with her lingering resentment now that he’s a “new person.”  Another Betch has been excluded from a splashy upcoming family vacation and can’t decide what stings more: not being invited or the fact that the trip sounds like her personal nightmare. After a stretch of sleepless nights and draining workdays, one woman asks how to stop beating herself up when she just can’t seem to lull herself to sleep. A Valentine’s Day dinner is interrupted by her brother-in-law’s persistent phone calls, leaving another listener questioning whether her irritation is justified. And finally, a new mom finds herself cast as the default babysitter for every baby at a family gathering—and wants validation that her unpaid labor isn’t just invisible, it’s expected.
