Am I Stuck In This Over-Scheduled Life?

Am I Stuck In This Over-Scheduled Life?

After a family trip to the middle of nowhere (aka a “serene national park”), Dr. Naomi spirals into a full-on meaning-of-life crisis while Jordana gently asks if she’s about to abandon civilization and start churning her own butter. Meanwhile, one new mom is side-eyeing her friend’s nonstop baby updates and wondering: is this motherhood… or a humblebrag Olympics? One Betch questions the ethics of calling yourself a “Dr.” when the degree might not exactly be for doctoring, and Dr. Naomi brings some of her expertise to the debate. Devastating news from an amino scan has a listener and her partner worrying about a potential bad outcome with nerve wracking odds, but the hosts share some ways to calm the anxiety and see light at the end of the tunnel for the new parents. A request for some to-go boxes at a wedding triggers a bride who is likely more angry at the child centric world in which she's living. Burned by the lack of effort from a friend at a recent book club gathering, a woman wonders if her pal is sending a signal that indicates she just doesn't really care.
