This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi kick things off with a conversation about the challenges of maintaining family bonds when everyone lives far apart, and the pressure of keeping family traditions alive. This week’s Overshare comes from a mother who shares the heartbreaking loss of her toddler in a preventable car seat accident, and how she’s turned her grief into a mission to educate other parents. She urges parents and caretakers to follow proper car seat safety practices and to make sure to use all buckles. Next, a Betchicist email raises the question of whether a big paycheck is worth sacrificing your work-life balance, especially when your boss is also your father-in-law. Dr. Naomi offers an Intention to a listener whose mother-in-law's hoarding habits have taken over her home. Finally, they’re Triggered by a painfully tone-deaf friend who responds to someone's fears about her father's health with an unsolicited death story, and a coworker who can't stop criticizing a listener's career choices.
