Am I Obligated To Buy A Gift For A Destination Wedding?
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. The Overshare, sponsored by Season 2 of Nobody Wants This on Netflix, comes from a woman whose feeling like her partner's lack of thoughtfulness with their new puppy is a sign of bigger problems to come. 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.

How Can I Get More Help From My Partner?
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.

Why Am I So Obsessed With Social Media Validation?
Dr. Naomi opens the podcast with an admission that she got a little sucked into social media recently after her daughter’s school had a student-led event that sparked some debate in the local community. Feeling abandoned, a new mom needs help crafting a text to an old bestie because she isn’t making the same effort as her other pals. Seeking a Betchicist, a future bride is left distressed after trying to plan her bachelorette via text and Jordana brings her group planning skills to the table. A social media addicted listener is in need of an Intention because she knows her desire for Instagram likes is bordering on unhealthy. One listener is left triggered after an employee she recently hired suddenly quit on her while another Betch feels the same way about her brother taking all the family names for his kids.

How Can I Share My Good News With A Struggling Friend?
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.
