Summary

Jordana grapples with seeing herself constantly as a video podcaster and asks Dr. Naomi whether her reactions are totally normal, or something to be concerned about. A bride-to-be reports her mother’s absolutely unhinged commentary on her refusal to embark on a pre-wedding starvation tour and asks how to shut it down without detonating the family group chat. Another newly engaged Betch spirals after her fiancé ignores very clear ring guidance and presents her with a truly tragic rock—unlocking the larger existential fear. With a long-awaited vacation approaching, a devoted dog mom wrestles with crushing guilt and asks for an intention that allows her to sip a margarita without emotional collapse. A listener accepts a seemingly innocent Friendsgiving invite from a neighbor, only to be drafted into an elaborate social experiment with strangers that leaves her wildly triggered. And finally, a new mom seeks validation after being repeatedly left hanging by her mother-in-law. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
