Oversharing

After a relaxing birthday weekend, Dr. Naomi shares some of the love she received on her special day. Together dig into how these milestones can unintentionally trigger sadness, especially when your own sister doesn’t call you to celebrate (wink wink). In this week's Overshare, a Betch wonders how sensitive she should be when sharing positive pregnancy news with those that have struggled to conceive. Then, things get messy at a Bat Mitzvah as one couple’s boozy drama turns into a full-blown relationship conundrum. Dr. Naomi then sets an intention for a mother whose artsy daughter makes her a little uncomfortable. We're triggered when a therapist insists on a break-up explanation while Dr. Naomi gives her two cents on how she would have handled the drama. Finally, a mother in law maybe overstepping her boundaries when she demands her grandkids call her “Mommy.” Subscribe to Oversharing on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OversharingPod Learn more about your ad choices.

Jordana comes in hot with her own triggering situation after Ronnie got into a bush full of bunnies (eek!) and Dr. Naomi comforts her that despite his animal instincts, her puppy is still the little boy she’s grown to love. As the season of partying and day drinking is upon us, one sober-ish Betch wonders how to handle the not so passive and sometimes aggressive message that her not drinking is tanking the vibe. The Betchicist comes from a listener who has heard constant complaints from her bestie that her man keeps missing the mark on “surprises” and she doesn’t know if she should spoil a big idea he planned that involves a knee, a ring, and some activities her bestie loathes. One woman seeks an intention from Dr. Naomi after her little sister was able to land a positive pregnancy test almost instantly all while her own journey to motherhood has been fraught with infertility roadblocks. Another listener is triggered when an ex-situationship comes out of woodwork and quickly hops to flirting on LinkedIn, but is that better or worse than your future father in law completely dismissing your recent engagement?

After a much-needed beach vacay, Dr. Naomi is back with Jordana to dive headfirst into your problems—and unpack the “pits and peaks” of every chaotic excursion. First up, a Betch writes in after discovering her babysitter has been casually studying exorcisms (um, excuse me?!), and the duo comes up with some devilishly clever ways to address the demon (literally?) in the room. This week’s Betchicist dilemma features a listener who got conned into playing housemaid at what was supposed to be a baby shower. Then, Dr. Naomi writes a heartfelt intention for a guilt-stricken mom who glanced away from her kid for two seconds and now can’t stop spiraling. Later, a listener loses it when her sister-in-law keeps referring to her dog as the “first grandchild” (make it stop), and another Betch gets publicly snubbed at a wedding when the bride decides to celebrate only the married couples—leaving the single squad awkwardly off to the side.

Dr. Naomi is ready to embark on her Hawaiian vacation but before she can jet set away, Jordana has an important question for the seasoned therapist: Do men and women approach therapy differently? They get deep about the differences between the two sexes and how they tap into their emotional selves and Dr. Naomi brings some anecdotal evidence to prove that women might be a little more wired to work on themselves than their male counterparts. The Overshare of the week comes from a listener who was recently blessed with a pregnancy but is reeling after her sister in law spilled the tea to literally her entire baby shower despite explicit instructions not to. Speaking of secrets, the Betchicist comes in with a moral conundrum around gun ownership when one woman is scared to divulge that her ex-military beau not only has a gun, but that he keeps one in the house. Is she required to tell her friends before they come over? Dr. Naomi helps set an intention for a Betch that is moving into greener career pastures but is feeling a little heartsick about the colleagues she's leaving behind. Finally they explore two triggered scenarios, one around a seemingly innocuous comment about “healthy babies” that left one mom spinning and another about how an innocuous concert invite turned into an unforeseen $100 expense for one Betch.

As the school year winds down, Dr. Naomi gets all sentimental about her daughter making “core female friendships” and she and Jordana unpack why having your girl gang matters. In the Overshare, one single Betch has officially had it with the relationship interrogations at every brunch, wedding, and wine night and is looking for a polite way to say: mind your business. Then a Betchicist voicemail dives into the post-divorce awkward Olympics, as one listener tries to figure out if her mom and ex-stepdad can be in the same room without it turning into a Real Housewives reunion brawl. Dr. Naomi sets an intention for those catch-up convos that take a hard left into passive-aggressive hell and another listener spirals when her friend announces she's having another baby... with a husband who might actually be the final boss of red flags. And to top it all off: the last Triggered tackles the crime of being asked to chip in for a Bachelorette party you aren't even invited to. The audacity! Learn more about your ad choices.

Summer's poking its sweaty little head out and Dr. Naomi and Jordana are discussing their run-ins with nature (yes, there was a baby bird situation), summer travel dreams, and the fantasy of becoming an effortlessly cool local in a town you’ve been in for like… three days. The Overshare takes a wild detour into “Craft My Text” chaos as one listener shares deranged text receipts from her sister-in-law, who did not take it well when she passed on buying a car from her dealership. Another write-in poses the very niche (yet deeply relatable) ethical conundrum: can you sell a product that was replaced by the company—and they didn’t want the old one back? The hosts have thoughts. And loopholes. Meanwhile, one listener trying to get healthy is over the current GLP-1 craze and is wondering why no one’s talking about the rapidly vanishing elephant in the room (spoiler: it’s weight loss, and yes, we went there). Jordana also half-apologizes for accidentally offending the entire veterinarian community, and the duo dives into a colleague’s loaded comment that sent one listener into a body-image spiral.

Jordana and Dr. Naomi kick off this week’s episode with a rage-fueled rant after Jordana’s vet visit for Ronnie the dog goes from zero to WTF real fast. Then it’s on to listener chaos, starting with an overshare from a Betch who wants to tell her boss, “I’m chill where I’m at,” without sounding like she’s given up on life. (Can you vibe at work or nah?)

Girl, is it a resume or a fantasy novel? This week’s Intention segment features a newly diagnosed Celiac warrior trying to survive the gluten-drenched nightmare that is literally every menu. And it’s not just Jordana having a triggering week—listeners write in with their own personal horror shows, from invasive egg retrieval interrogations to a ghost-town wedding group chat that has one bride wondering if she should just elope and call it a day.
