This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi discuss consent, binge-drinking culture, and why we need to do a better job teaching men how to navigate sexual boundaries. Then, an Oversharer's dilemma opens up the conversation as to whether it should be assumed that grandparents would uproot their lives for their grandchildren. This week’s Betchicist comes from a listener whose sister cut her off for four years and is suddenly back in her life. Next, an intention email brings up the uniquely powerful force that is mom guilt. The first Triggered comes from a newly pregnant listener whose mom wasted no time turning her pregnancy into a conversation about weight loss. Finally, they weigh in on whether it’s tone-deaf to brag about your baby’s growth chart to a friend who’s been struggling with her own baby’s size. Content Warning: This episode includes a discussion of sexual assault, including topics of consent and sexual misconduct. We encourage listeners to take care while listening.

This week on Calm the F*ck Down, Jordana and Dr. Naomi start with a surprising family-history discovery that has them thinking about ancestry, generational trauma, and what it means to leave a legacy. Then, a doctor writes in to offer some perspective on why medical test results hit your patient portal before your doctor has a chance to call. Next, they debate the surprisingly intimate act of giving someone a nickname they didn’t ask for. Finally, former CTFD guest Madison is back with an update: her mom ignored yet another boundary and posted her wedding photos before she could, leaving Jordana and Dr. Naomi to ask whether some people simply can’t be trusted with the group chat, or the camera roll.

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi kick things off with a conversation about dating markets, moving for love, and whether successful women are narrowing their dating pools by looking for equally successful partners. This week’s Betchicist comes from a listener who can no longer stomach staying at her friend’s seriously messy apartment, but doesn’t know how to say something without hurting her feelings. Next, Dr. Naomi gives an Intention to a listener struggling to keep up with long-distance friendships and family without spending every weekend on the phone. Finally, they’re Triggered by a dad who seems to think his daughter getting married is the only milestone worth celebrating, and a partnered friend who makes a painfully tone-deaf comment about how grateful she is to be done with dating apps.

Family knows exactly how to push your buttons, and this week, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are getting into what happens when those buttons have been pushed one too many times. In Overshare, a listener wonders if it’s finally time to set real boundaries with a brother whose “jokes” always seem to come at her expense. A Betchisist is struggling to watch her notoriously judgmental dad date someone who seems to break every rule he raised his daughters to follow. Then, an Intention goes out to a future mom who wants kids but is terrified that motherhood means saying goodbye to sleep forever. In Triggered, is your mother-in-law saying “we’re the same size” a compliment, a subtle dig, or are you the one making it weird? And another listener considers crossing Naomi off her baby-name list because she doesn’t want her daughter spending a lifetime correcting people’s pronunciation. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Calm The F* Down, Jordana and Dr. Naomi sit down with a listener whose Triggered story about her dad rehoming his dog, only to get another one six months later, hit a much deeper nerve. Nicole opens up about growing up with a father who left when she was young, then went on to become a devoted stay-at-home dad to his second family, and how those old feelings of abandonment still show up in unexpected ways. They unpack what happens when a relationship is “fine” on the surface, but years of hurt and resentment have never actually been addressed. Is it worth reopening an old wound when you’re not sure you’ll get the validation you want?

This week on Oversharing, Dr. Naomi is getting a crash course in Texas homecoming culture as her family navigates their first season of elaborate “mums,” homecoming proposals, and all the teenage social dynamics that come with them. Then, a listener grieving the loss of her lifelong friend group wonders how to forgive herself and start over socially in her 30s, while a granddaughter who lost her mom finds herself unexpectedly promoted to “daughter” and questions how much responsibility she owes her aging grandmother. An Intention comes from a newly divorced listener learning who she is when she’s not being a wife, mom, employee, or looking for another relationship. In Triggered, a mother-in-law offers $20K toward a house, only to call her son “presumptuous” when he follows up on the offer. Finally, a listener receives the terrifying words “lymphoma suspected” in her medical results but hears nothing from her doctor for days. Can someone please fix the way medical results are delivered?

This week Jordana and Dr. Naomi are tackling what happens when trust, attraction, and even your career suddenly feel a little shaky. First, an oversharing husband... that's right, a male listener, is trying to rebuild his marriage after financial betrayal and infidelity and wonders how long it takes to earn back trust. Then, a Betchisist with an otherwise amazing fiancé has one problem she can’t seem to shake: his deeply cringey dance moves are giving her the ick just in time for their wedding. An Intention seeker is struggling with post-wedding regret and asks how to forgive herself after enforcing her child-free wedding rule in a way she regretted. In Triggered, a listener questions whether a friend’s questionable use of the “service dog” loophole says something bigger about her character, and how much our friends’ moral choices should affect the way we see them. Finally, a new mom returns from maternity leave only to discover the men she trained may have taken over her responsibilities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on CTFD, Jordana is shedding some shame after a stressful parenting moment leaves her questioning just how much can go wrong in a matter of seconds. She and Dr. Naomi talk about the spiral of imagining what could have happened, and why shame only makes those moments harder to move past. Then, a listener is struggling to tell her mom that her son won’t be attending the Christian school she runs because their values no longer completely align. How do you choose a different path from your parents without making them feel like you’re rejecting the way they raised you? Finally, a listener has secretly started seeing the ex who broke her heart and now she’s dreading telling the family who helped pick up the pieces. Jordana and Dr. Naomi unpack whether her fear of their reaction might actually be revealing some doubts of her own.

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are asking: how much of our anxiety is actually ours, and how much did we inherit from our parents? They unpack how parents can unintentionally pass down their own fears about marriage, babies, and timelines—and why sometimes caring too much makes your kids stop telling you things. Then, a listener is dreading the return of a former friend who has overstayed more than just her welcome, but is the real problem the friend or the group chat that bonded over complaining about her? A Betchesist has a dirty little secret: she lets her dog sleep in the bed whenever her fiancé is out of town, despite his strict no-pets-on-the-furniture rule. Next, a newly single 27-year-old is spiraling over starting from scratch while everyone around her seems to be getting married, buying houses, and having babies. In Triggered, a new mom wonders whether she was justified in losing it when her husband immediately ignored the baby sleep schedule she spent months perfecting. Finally, when did turning 34 require a $200 weeknight celebration, and are you allowed to just RSVP no? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are clearing out their algorithms, and maybe a little mental clutter along the way. They start with a listener struggling with mom rage, parental burnout, and the guilt of hitting her limit, and discuss why lowering the bar can sometimes be the healthiest thing you can do. Then, a newly pregnant Betchisist wonders how to share pregnancy news with a best friend struggling with infertility without expecting her to fake an excited reaction. An Intention tackles acne insecurity, self-acceptance, and the anxiety around starting Accutane, especially when a scary treatment could finally bring some much-needed relief. In Triggered, a listener with combined finances in her marriage wants to know why her husband gets all the credit when their money picks up the dinner bill. Finally, Jordana and Dr. Naomi debate a surprisingly complicated question: Is volunteering still a good deed if you’re only doing it for your résumé?

This week on CTFD, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are asking a big question: why is it so damn hard to build a village as an adult? After an update on Jordana’s ongoing adventures in parenting two babies and one very needy dog, they dig into why we’re taught to build our lives around romantic partners and family, but rarely our friendships. They discuss whether living near your friends could ease timeline anxiety and loneliness, while taking some of the pressure off your partner to be your everything (friendship compound, anyone?). Then, they revisit a recent listener battling cancer after two listeners write in with advice on how to ask for, and actually receive, help without taking on the additional job of managing everyone else’s emotions.

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are talking about the complicated art of showing up for the people you love, without completely draining yourself in the process. Jordana opens up about the exhaustion of parenting two babies, and the resentment that can creep in when free time is scarce. Then, an Oversharer wonders how much grace she should continue giving a grieving friend when their friendship has long felt one-sided, prompting a conversation about lowering expectations without necessarily ending a friendship. Next, they weigh in on a six-months-pregnant Betchisist whose husband wants to stay out clubbing solo on their Ibiza babymoon, and whether her anxiety is really about his safety, or what his night out means for their relationship. Dr. Naomi offers an intention for a mom struggling with back-to-school anxiety and explains how learning to trust your kids can help them learn to trust themselves. Finally, the Triggered's: one listener’s dad replaces the dog he gave her with the exact same breed, a scenario that feels a little too familiar, while another wonders if her future in-laws are crossing a boundary by vacationing in Hawaii at the same time as her honeymoon.
