How Can I Forgive Myself For The Past?

Jordana is gearing up for the arrival of her two babies and turning to Dr. Naomi for a crash course in how to accept help from her in-laws. A listener is unpacking years of mom guilt over past mistakes with her son and wondering if there’s a way to make it right now that she’s actually done the work. One Betch is grieving a mother-in-law she’ll never get to meet and questioning whether she’s allowed to be sad about someone who passed before she was in the picture. After rewatching her gender reveal, a woman realizes she was fully out of frame from the moment and is now spiraling that she ruined the memory forever. Meanwhile, a child-free listener is losing it over coworkers who keep joking about all her “free time,” and another sister is officially done after receiving a holiday card that basically bragged about someone else’s fertility luck straight to her face.
