Summary

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.

And I am Dr. Naomi Bernstein. How's it going? How is your

0:24.1

weekend? I know you were in Charleston. Yeah, so much to talk about. Talk about Charleston. You had a

0:31.9

birthday. Your birthday is right before Maddie's birthday. You guys were almost birthday twins. Almost. So close.

0:38.5

Missed it by a day. Yeah, Charleston was great. It was quick in and out. It was fun. We went to a party

0:47.8

for my, for Jeff's friend's 50th. And I, we didn't know anyone there except for like literally nobody um but it was really fun

0:58.1

sometimes you know there was like a dance party at the end that's kind of my jam so I was like

1:02.3

feeling like I was one of the girls without actually knowing anybody and it's like a good bonding

1:07.9

it's like we're all kind of now I feel like we have a bond with all these people that I never met and we didn't have to actually talk to all of them. We just bonded through our boogie. You're going to keep in touch? We boogie bonded. No. Probably not. You're like absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. It was lovely for what I'm saying.

social event where I don't know anyone and then like resisting the urge to kind of just like

1:52.0

retreat into like hibernate in the corner probably just talk to Jeff a lot or be on your phone

1:57.7

or really because again especially for an event like this where it's like it's like it's not like you move to a new town and these are all the new people in town like you're probably not going to see these people again right um and it's just it's a lot to be like they all know each other yes totally i'm impressed thank you impressed. Thank you. Yeah, I felt proud of myself. I do think like I said, you know, obviously we're chatting, but the idea of just like dancing together is like I'm in the mix, but like I don't have to make small talk all night long. So yeah, there's a temptation to be like, I'm never going to see you again. I don't really

2:36.7

care what you think about me. So I'm just going to be like antisocial in the corner. Right.
