Dr. Naomi is ready to embark on her Hawaiian vacation but before she can jet set away, Jordana has an important question for the seasoned therapist: Do men and women approach therapy differently?

As the school year winds down, Dr. Naomi gets all sentimental about her daughter making “core female friendships” and she and Jordana unpack why having your girl gang matters. In the Overshare, one single Betch has officially had it with the relationship interrogations at every brunch, wedding, and wine night and is looking for a polite way to say: mind your business. Then a Betchicist voicemail dives into the post-divorce awkward Olympics, as one listener tries to figure out if her mom and ex-stepdad can be in the same room without it turning into a Real Housewives reunion brawl. Dr. Naomi sets an intention for those catch-up convos that take a hard left into passive-aggressive hell and another listener spirals when her friend announces she's having another baby... with a husband who might actually be the final boss of red flags. And to top it all off: the last Triggered tackles the crime of being asked to chip in for a Bachelorette party you aren't even invited to. The audacity! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Overshare takes a wild detour into “Craft My Text” chaos as one listener shares deranged text receipts from her sister-in-law, who did not take it well when she passed on buying a car from her dealership. Another write-in poses the very niche (yet deeply relatable) ethical conundrum: can you sell a product that was replaced by the company—and they didn’t want the old one back? The hosts have thoughts. And loopholes. Meanwhile, one listener trying to get healthy is over the current GLP-1 craze and is wondering why no one’s talking about the rapidly vanishing elephant in the room (spoiler: it’s weight loss, and yes, we went there). Jordana also half-apologizes for accidentally offending the entire veterinarian community, and the duo dives into a colleague’s loaded comment that sent one listener into a body-image spiral.
