Summary

This week, Jordana tells Dr. Naomi about her recent “brain flossing” attempt, and they discuss a listener’s recent experience of feeling shamed by a neighbor. Our Overshare comes from a conflict-avoidant Betch who needs to have an uncomfortable conversation with a friend. Today’s Betchicist goes out to a listener pondering the ethics of “line guys” and gaming the concert ticket system. Dr. Naomi writes an intention for flight anxiety in light of recent plane crashes in the news. And, in our “Sweet Release” segment sponsored by Angry Orchard, we’re feeling triggered by employers that infringe on evening plans and unwanted input on relationship timelines.
