Summary

As time moves quickly by and her children grow up, Dr. Naomi makes changes to the family room at home that reflect everyone's current needs, including her own. A daughter is stressed out by her mother's bad driving but doesn't know how to tell her aging parent it might be time to ditch the car and start calling ubers. Caught in a pickle, a listener asks if there is a polite way to ditch her friends at a comedy show after being given better seats to the same event. One Betch’s germ phobia is starting to take over all her thoughts and she asks Dr. Naomi for an intention to quell the constant anxiety. After her father dropped the ball on a contract, a woman is triggered that he didn't think to ask for help even though she is in fact a contract lawyer here. A bride is left upset after a childhood friend canceled her wedding RSVP and the hosts debate the circumstances of the seemingly last minute bail. Learn more about your ad choices.
