Oversharing

Jordana shares some recent incidents with her dog Ronnie that have challenged her patience and Dr. Naomi sheds a little light on how these moments can be a great opportunity for mindfulness and meditation.

A listener who is out a couple grand for a destination wedding needs a Betchecist on whether she can opt out of the gift and put on bow on her “presence” instead. After a disappointing response to a salary raise has a listener feeling devalued and regretful that she didn’t defend her track record, she seeks an intention to help her rebound. Feeling triggered that she is not in consideration for god parent for child number two, Betch wonders if she is overreacting while another listener is shocked that her friends who hosted a casual evening at their house requested money for the pizza they provided.

Jordana and Dr. N dig into the new Taylor Swift album The Life Of A Showgirl and share some different views on the artist’s latest release and the cultural hold she has on all of us. The first email of the episode is an Overshare from a working mom that is feeling the strain of being the primary parent and needs  advice on how to communicate she's drowning to her partner. A woman is feeling the financial strain of constantly visiting her sister who doesn't seem to return the favor and she's in need of a Betchicist on how to broach the topic with her sibling. Another Betch leaves a voicemail in search of an intention that will help her commit to the physical therapy exercises that leave her anxious and uncomfortable. After multiple workout classes feature a random crawling toddler, a listener is curious how triggered she can be by the situation all while another subscriber is asked by a “family friend” for a rather annoying favor when they haven't spoken in almost a decade.

Fresh off a screen free weekend, Dr. Naomi shares her review of what it's like to turn off your phone and be in the moment after she and her therapy group decided to take on the challenge. It's only fitting then that the first email this week is a Craft My Text from a Betch whose sudden break up has left her seeking closure, but there is also an update from her original email request that gives the hosts much to discuss. A listener is unsure of how to share her pending good news about an engagement with a friend who is struggling to get her long term relationship to the next level. The Betchicist of the week asks the question “can my husband request I don't discuss him in therapy” and Jordana and Dr. Naomi navigate how it may (and may not) be possible. On the theme of therapy, a listener recounts an uncomfortable first meeting with a therapist that left her triggered and spiraling for hours after the session. And finally one woman shares that her future sister in law provided her with a survey requiring her to rank her desire to be a bridesmaid and the questions on it are kinda wild.
