Summary

As winter drags on and the sun taps out at a disrespectful 4:30 p.m., Jordana asks Dr. Naomi to explain why everyone is sad, tired, and vaguely feral. After her fiancé’s family vacation is derailed by her mother’s nonstop questioning, a Betch spirals about what this dynamic could mean for her upcoming wedding. Dr. Naomi then offers an intention for a woman whose anxiety shows up as catastrophic thoughts about strangers who don’t even know she exists. Another voicemail comes from a daughter still simmering after her father somehow forgot to mention her (and her brother) in his retirement speech, but made sure to shout out her deeply disliked stepmother. Finally, a husband sends a calendar invite to announce that his brother is “moving in,” and a Betch wants to know exactly how furious she’s allowed to be. Learn more about your ad choices.
