How Can I Cope With Ambiguous Loss?
Notes de l’épisode
As Jordana racks up firsts with her baby girls, she’s reacquainting herself with the wondrous magic of childlike wonder and Dr. Naomi drops in with the science of why awe is emotional medicine. After a listener’s pet goes missing, she sheds her shame about the guilt she feels for letting it happen and the hosts break down the grief of ambiguous losses. Elsewhere, one Betch side-eyes a “healthy” company discount that turns out to be less of a perk and more of a pyramid-shaped red flag. Another mom is stuck in her own head about her kids eating “junk” and is desperate for a mental mute button on the guilt chatter. A chronically ill listener leaves therapy feeling gaslit after being told her pain might be “in her head,” and a new mom gets unexpectedly scorched by a passive-aggressive Facebook comment that somehow turned stroller discourse into a personal attack.
