This week, Jordana and Dr. Naomi talk about splurging on your family, and learning how to show appreciation even when you receive a gift that you don’t love. Our Overshare comes from a Betch who wonders if it’s her place as a stepmom to critique her partner’s parenting style. Today’s Betchicist goes out to a mom feeling frustrated with family members giving unapproved gifts to her kid. Dr. Naomi writes an intention for managing stress without letting it manifest into a short temper. And we’re feeling triggered by getting left out of Secret Santa, and parents who don’t prioritize our sobriety journey.
