Summary

This week, Dr. Naomi tells Jordana about her recent kid-free getaway with her husband, and how meditation helped with reconnecting on a deeper level. They talk about the benefits of shifting your perspective from living each day like it’s your last to living like it’s happening for the first time. Our Overshare comes from a Betch on a healthy lifestyle journey, who feels judged by her friend’s comments when they go out together. Today’s Betchicist goes out to a listener who’s worried that her boyfriend’s family’s rigid naming traditions will affect their hypothetical future son. Dr. Naomi writes an intention for turning an uncomfortable situation into an opportunity for growth. And we’re feeling triggered by family members who try to find loopholes around small weddings, and BFFs who have scheduling conflicts with our bridal dress shopping.
