Talia grew up in a small Orthodox Jewish community with lots of rules and expectations, many of them surrounding dating and courtship. If you aren’t married by the time you turn 22, you’re labeled as “nebach," a word that means sad, misfortunate, pitiable.
Talia doesn’t want to be “nebach,” and when she finds the perfect man for her, she thinks she’s headed for marraige ... until the man she loves confesses to having pedophiliac thoughts.
There are a lot of true crime podcasts out there about people like Talia’s ex. There AREN’T many stories out there about the Talias of the world. In this episode, Talia gets the chance to share hers.

Dating is tough. Especially when there's strict expectations and rules. And ESPECIALLY when you finally find someone... and they don't turn out to be who you expected.

October 02, 2018 Soooo OCD
In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

OCD is one of those acronyms we use when what we really mean to say is, "I organize my spice drawer alphabetically,” or “I always forget if I’ve locked the door or not, so I have to double check.”
Those things are … not OCD. So what does it mean to actually live with obsessive compulsive disorder every day? We asked you, the Terrible community, to share your stories.

October 02, 2018 Episode #50: Soooo OCD
OCD is one of those acronyms we use to say, "I'm a little quirky" or "I like my room to be VERY clean." But what does it mean to actually live with OCD? I have no idea, so we asked people who do.

September 25, 2018 What Do You Say About Suicide? (Part 2)
In the last episode, we heard from people who had ideated and/or survived their own suicide attempts, as well as people who had survived a loved one’s suicide. They told us about all the unhelpful and hurtful things that people had said or done.
But there ARE things that people can do and say that ARE helpful, and in this episode, we dive into it.
