Summary

As we all crawl to the finish line of 2025, Jordana and Dr. Naomi tackle resolutions (and why we barely stick to them) and gratitude for the stuff we only notice once it’s gone. A betch needs help telling her boyfriend that his aggressively sentimental, customized gifts… are just not her vibe. A bride ropes her bridesmaids into a pre-wedding sleepover, and a listener's Betchicist asks how to say 'no' to sharing a pullout bed without drama. Dr. Naomi helps a listener struggling with a nerve-wracking left turn that’s making every commute a nightmare, while Jordana commiserates over her own driving anxieties. One mom begs for validation that yes, her mother-in-law’s nonstop commentary IS legitimately annoying. And finally, a listener fears she was ghosted by own her family on her birthday, leaving her to wonder if she’s been quietly voted out of the inner circle.
