Family knows exactly how to push your buttons, and this week, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are getting into what happens when those buttons have been pushed one too many times. In Overshare, a listener wonders if it’s finally time to set real boundaries with a brother whose “jokes” always seem to come at her expense. A Betchisist is struggling to watch her notoriously judgmental dad date someone who seems to break every rule he raised his daughters to follow. Then, an Intention goes out to a future mom who wants kids but is terrified that motherhood means saying goodbye to sleep forever. In Triggered, is your mother-in-law saying “we’re the same size” a compliment, a subtle dig, or are you the one making it weird? And another listener considers crossing Naomi off her baby-name list because she doesn’t want her daughter spending a lifetime correcting people’s pronunciation.

This week on Oversharing, Dr. Naomi is getting a crash course in Texas homecoming culture as her family navigates their first season of elaborate “mums,” homecoming proposals, and all the teenage social dynamics that come with them. Then, a listener grieving the loss of her lifelong friend group wonders how to forgive herself and start over socially in her 30s, while a granddaughter who lost her mom finds herself unexpectedly promoted to “daughter” and questions how much responsibility she owes her aging grandmother. An Intention comes from a newly divorced listener learning who she is when she’s not being a wife, mom, employee, or looking for another relationship. In Triggered, a mother-in-law offers $20K toward a house, only to call her son “presumptuous” when he follows up on the offer. Finally, a listener receives the terrifying words “lymphoma suspected” in her medical results but hears nothing from her doctor for days. Can someone please fix the way medical results are delivered?

This week Jordana and Dr. Naomi are tackling what happens when trust, attraction, and even your career suddenly feel a little shaky. First, an oversharing husband... that's right, a male listener, is trying to rebuild his marriage after financial betrayal and infidelity and wonders how long it takes to earn back trust. Then, a Betchisist with an otherwise amazing fiancé has one problem she can’t seem to shake: his deeply cringey dance moves are giving her the ick just in time for their wedding. An Intention seeker is struggling with post-wedding regret and asks how to forgive herself after enforcing her child-free wedding rule in a way she regretted. In Triggered, a listener questions whether a friend’s questionable use of the “service dog” loophole says something bigger about her character, and how much our friends’ moral choices should affect the way we see them. Finally, a new mom returns from maternity leave only to discover the men she trained may have taken over her responsibilities.

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are asking: how much of our anxiety is actually ours, and how much did we inherit from our parents? They unpack how parents can unintentionally pass down their own fears about marriage, babies, and timelines—and why sometimes caring too much makes your kids stop telling you things. Then, a listener is dreading the return of a former friend who has overstayed more than just her welcome, but is the real problem the friend or the group chat that bonded over complaining about her? A Betchesist has a dirty little secret: she lets her dog sleep in the bed whenever her fiancé is out of town, despite his strict no-pets-on-the-furniture rule. Next, a newly single 27-year-old is spiraling over starting from scratch while everyone around her seems to be getting married, buying houses, and having babies. In Triggered, a new mom wonders whether she was justified in losing it when her husband immediately ignored the baby sleep schedule she spent months perfecting. Finally, when did turning 34 require a $200 weeknight celebration, and are you allowed to just RSVP no?

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are clearing out their algorithms, and maybe a little mental clutter along the way. They start with a listener struggling with mom rage, parental burnout, and the guilt of hitting her limit, and discuss why lowering the bar can sometimes be the healthiest thing you can do. Then, a newly pregnant Betchisist wonders how to share pregnancy news with a best friend struggling with infertility without expecting her to fake an excited reaction. An Intention tackles acne insecurity, self-acceptance, and the anxiety around starting Accutane, especially when a scary treatment could finally bring some much-needed relief. In Triggered, a listener with combined finances in her marriage wants to know why her husband gets all the credit when their money picks up the dinner bill. Finally, Jordana and Dr. Naomi debate a surprisingly complicated question: Is volunteering still a good deed if you’re only doing it for your résumé?

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are talking about the complicated art of showing up for the people you love, without completely draining yourself in the process. Jordana opens up about the exhaustion of parenting two babies, and the resentment that can creep in when free time is scarce. Then, an Oversharer wonders how much grace she should continue giving a grieving friend when their friendship has long felt one-sided, prompting a conversation about lowering expectations without necessarily ending a friendship. Next, they weigh in on a six-months-pregnant Betchisist whose husband wants to stay out clubbing solo on their Ibiza babymoon, and whether her anxiety is really about his safety, or what his night out means for their relationship. Dr. Naomi offers an intention for a mom struggling with back-to-school anxiety and explains how learning to trust your kids can help them learn to trust themselves. Finally, the Triggered's: one listener’s dad replaces the dog he gave her with the exact same breed, a scenario that feels a little too familiar, while another wonders if her future in-laws are crossing a boundary by vacationing in Hawaii at the same time as her honeymoon.

This week Jordana and Dr. Naomi are asking an important question: when everyone online claims to know the “right” way to do things, how do you learn to trust yourself? They unpack how social media thrives on activating our anxieties and why the most confident advice isn’t always the best advice. Then, an Oversharer gets an unexpected pre-wedding reality check when her parents remind her that it’s never too late to back out, but was there something they weren’t telling her? A Betchisist catches her friend in an elaborate lie involving a family emergency, a secret beach trip, and an AI-generated photo excuse that absolutely does not hold up under questioning. Dr. Naomi offers an intention for anyone stuck in the uncomfortable in-between after leaving something that wasn’t working but before finding what comes next. In Triggered, a mother-in-law learns that “all good” might not be the best response when you’ve completely ignored the baby’s nap schedule. And why an unsolicited financial advisor introduction may be one of the rare occasions when ghosting is fully encouraged.

Dr. Naomi returns from vacation with a story that proves parenting never really takes a day off. After an unexpected family emergency leaves their kids suddenly without adult supervision, Jordana and Dr. Naomi unpack what it means to rely on your village. Then they help an Oversharer navigate whether she should skip a friend's wedding, or keep living her life, when it falls in the middle of IVF treatment. They also weigh in on a Betchisist’s marriage strained by secrecy around marijuana use and ask whether the real issue is the habit or what's underneath it. The intention this week goes to a listener who wants to stop cringing at old photos of herself and embrace every version of the body that carried her through life. Plus, in Triggered, they debate whether one rogue couples therapist deserves to lose their license and whether comparing someone's baby to an alien from Men in Black is ever, under any circumstances, acceptable.

If you've ever wondered whether your emotions are trying to tell you something or just trying to start a fight, then listen up. This week, Jordana and Dr. Naomi dive into the surprising ways hormones can shape our relationships, from motherhood and perimenopause to the emotional rollercoaster of PMS. They help an Oversharer navigate the complicated mix of grief and relief after a miscarriage and unpack whether the voices behind fear should be used as guidance. Then they tend to a Betchesist who's struggling to understand why her long-term boyfriend won't share his location and ask themselves: Have we turned ourselves into Big Brother? This week's Triggered sparks a debate over whether public speakerphone conversations are ever acceptable and whether a surprise three-week visit from the in-laws is thoughtful or completely boundary-crossing.
