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.

Am I Inconsiderate For Taking Care Of Myself Before Others?
Jordana recently celebrated her birthday while Dr. Naomi was off visiting a long distance friend and the two share about their very different experiences. The hosts also side-bar about the recently viral Netflix Documentary Unknown Number and if you haven’t seen it yet go watch it first because they spill all the secrets. A new mother and caring friend writes in asking if it's okay to not be there for someone when you yourself are holding on by a thread. Dr. Naomi gets real about a concerned wife and daughter who thinks her husband's mismanaging a vacation with her father and is looking for a Betchecist on the situation. After giving birth, one listener is at odds with her new body shape and seeks an intention for how to embrace this era of her life. A Betch is left speechless and a bit triggered after her friend ghosted her for months and blew off a trip, only to emerge from the woodwork with a new group of friends. Another listener is sour that her partner wasn’t applauding her recent weight loss only to discover he “hadn’t even noticed” and she is not sure how to feel about it.
