Oversharing

1,271

Oversharing from Betches Media is all about the challenges we face in all kinds of relationships; from friendships to family, long term partnerships or even dealing with the customer service rep that makes you want to scream into a pillow. Betches co-founder and relationship enthusiast Jordana Abraham has teamed up with her big sister, licensed clinical therapist Dr. Naomi Bernstein, to answer your questions and try to get to the bottom of the things that bother us most. Think of Jordana and Dr. Naomi as your BFF and your therapist, sitting side-by-side at the brunch table trying to help you get through your problems. Each week they’re responding to listener emails, tackling difficult ethical questions, playing games, and so much more. Because sometimes we really need advice from people with no skin in the game. And let’s face it, your friends can’t stand to hear that story one more time.

    Like catching up with my sisters
    This podcast is like sitting down with my sisters to unpack the latest happening. Their perspectives are usually fair, balanced, and insightful. I often walk away from these episodes with more self-awareness and sometimes I play segments to my friends to discuss. Please keep up the good work! The scenarios are often relatable even if not exactly something I’m going through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You make every Tuesday a great day!

    Lost a Listener
    I have enjoyed listening to Oversharing for a few months now, but the episode on 11/12 was so disgustingly out of touch I don’t think I will tune in for advice anymore. The episode begins by Naomi saying “Some people don’t want to hear this” but “everything is going to be ok. You’re going to be ok” in regards to the election. It is not that I don’t “want” to hear that everything will be ok regardless of who wins the election. Instead, it is that I know already that things are not “ok” for the women who are dying each week in states that already have abortion bans that a Trump presidency threatens to bring to every state. Most of the listeners of this podcast are women who are going to be directly affected by seeing sexual predators in office enacting abortion, contraception, and IVF bans. Our bodily autonomy is an issue that cannot and should not be set aside and forgotten through doing a set of breathing exercises, and anyone who thinks that it should be is not someone who I would want to take advice from.
  • LucyAppleton
    Post-election feedback
    Usually love this show, but the US elections discussion in the Nov 11th episode when Naomi kept saying “we’re all going to be okay” was frustrating and wildly out of touch. Women will die from abortion bans, families will be torn apart as people are deported, and god knows what else. Hearing this passive “it’ll be fine” from two seemingly progressive and informed women was extremely disappointing.
  • bingo_bronson
    I’m Done Listening
    I’ve listened to every episode and while I noticed a consistent pattern of privileged and out of touch answers from both hosts, I enjoyed the listener questions and commentary. However, the intro to the 11/12 episode was the last straw for me. Naomi, check your privilege. Not everything is always going to “be okay.” As a therapist, your tendency to spout toxic positivity is both concerning and offensive.
  • yodiggtydoggg
    Sisterly bonding with quality content
    My favorite podcast!! I am a U Up subscriber and have been listening since 2019. When Oversharing came out I gave it a go and love every episode. They are so grounding and this always make me want to call my sister and catch up! Thank you ladies!!

    My favorite podcast these days
    Jordana cracks me up and has always been a gem to listen to, I’ve listened to her since her Betches Brides days. Combines with Dr. Naomi, of them usually always says what I’m thinking or feeling. Yet, I love that combined they provide a realistic approach to every day obstacles and life stressors. I recommend Oversharing to everyone who will listen.
  • painted_deer
    Remove Recaps
    Love this show. Jordana is so funny and Dr. Naomi calming. Please stop reading the recaps at the start, it sounds like you’re introducing a PBS special and adds nothing to an already good show.
  • jchampeau
    Love it
    I feel like this is the slightly more grown up/developed version of u up. Love it!
  • Liz2020..
    Love!
    Absolutely love this podcast and I look forward to it every week. Their message and outlook on different situations helps me with everyday scenarios allowing me to broaden my viewpoint.
  • kayhrunning
    Helpful & Entertaining
    I love this podcast! I love the wide variety of topics from professional to personal to familial relationships and Jordana and Dr. Naomi’s perspectives complement one another well.

    Episode 132
    OMG! Jordana! I just loved how you said how sad for the Grandma! 🤣 You two are the best. I absolutely love listening to your podcast. I’ve been a long time Betches fan and am getting caught up on my Oversharing. This won’t be the last time you hear from me 😘 I’ve got a long list of situations that I can use your help with. ❤️
  • ajbg2995
    Relatable!
    Love this podcast! Naomi and Jordana have slightly different takes sometimes which is nice and their banter is sweet and sisterly. The pod is generally pretty focused and has a variety of advice topics. I just wish the episodes were longer!
  • Jules0414
    Good overall with some reservations
    Overall, I really enjoy this podcast but struggle when the topic of politics comes up. There is a lot of downplaying of the real-life consequences of political actions on people’s lives. Naomi reduces the issue to different people with “different fears”. Political action has real life impacts on people and environment, such as stripping people of their reproductive rights, allowing LGBTQ people full rights, etc etc. If you are in a relationship with someone with completely opposite views in 2024, you likely don’t have the same core values.
  • Ccim
    Great
    Great podcast for hearing a different perspective- find ways to ground yourself and understand your emotions. My favorite thing to do is end my day with Jordana and Dr. Naomi
  • danav826
    Love these two!
    I’ve been listening since day 1 and am a huge fan of the podcast! I appreciate the balanced approach and different preservatives Dr Naomi and Jordana share each episode. Their sisterly dynamic and connection gives a nice energy to the podcast overall. Love each of the segments and all the questions you choose to cover. Keep doing what you’re doing - your listeners appreciate you!
  • ChattCarl
    Politics episode
    I found this episode SO REFRESHING. I am very much a moderate and it infuriates me to be surrounded by people (often friends and family) who so vehemently demand I ‘choose a side’. I feel that many people I know are sucked into constant media/social media coverage and social pressures, and that they feel ‘their team is the only and best team’. I have tried the past few weeks to tell them that not only do I not agree with this new normal of division, but that I just don’t enjoy talking about it. This episode was the first time I heard a moderate stance in any sort of media outlet and I am very grateful to not be alone. THANK YOU for speaking your feelings on this topic and not bowing to pressure like everyone else. I appreciate you both!

    OVERSHARING IS THE BEST
    Found Oversharing from listening to U Up podcast. As someone in a long term relationship I still find U Up entertaining but Oversharing is so interesting and helpful regardless of relationship status. It feels like my weekly therapy. Jordana has become more and more insightful over the years and brings great opinions as a healthy adult but also realistic millennial while Dr. Naomi is the trusted voice of what everyone strives to be. 10/10 recommend.

    Binged every ep
    I’m obsessed with oversharing! I started listening last summer and quickly binged every existing episode. Now I look forward to the new episodes every Tuesday. Thank you J&N!!

    This should and could be a daily talk show. The advice is so relatable and spot on. What the world needs
  • Murryg223
    Awesome pod!
    I look forward to this podcast every week! The topics and issues discussed are very relatable. I believe discussing them truly helps the listeners. Thank you both for all your work to make this happen weekly and helping us navigate life’s challenges! I am sure you don’t hear it enough but I truly appreciate your vulnerability and effort to make this podcast happen.
  • Ellie Elise 33
    Loyal Listener
    Edit; I still LOVE the podcast. I wish there was slightly less “mom” content. Either way I’ll keep listening! I love the U Up podcast and am now a huge fan of Oversharing! I am a school social worker and Dr Naomi’s mental health expertise is on point. Jordana’s best friend advice is the perfect combination! A little less comedy than the U Up podcast, but great insights on interpersonal issues of all kinds. It’s on my weekly rotation!
  • literati4life
    Too many ads
    Love the pod, but there are sooooo many ads. If I’m busy doing anything (cleaning, working out, etc) it feels like I have to stop to fast-forward every 5 minutes. I get that that’s how you make money, but c’mon. Maybe there’s a better way to organize the ads so it isn’t constant.
  • taylorwashere123
    Great pod - interesting conversations
    Thanks for the podcast, love what you do! In your discussion about the guy who isn’t reading the book, I remember a different perspective that you had about letter writing being more meaningful because it isn’t Mikes thing. I wish that would have been brought up in that conversation. They felt similar to me.

    Dr Naomi Running Shorts
    Love the pod so much! Dr. Naomi, I recommend shopping at Old Navy. As a big runner and a girl who doesn’t mind spending a buck on workout clothes, I have found Old Navy to be exceptional. Their running shorts specifically are great and come at a bargain! Had to pause the episode to give this rec.

    Better Help? Really?
    Enjoy listening to the podcast but am disappointed that they support Better Help, a platform extremely problematic and harmful to therapists.
  • warolyn
    Sarah Herron deserved better
    Jordana displayed a startling lack of empathy during the Sarah Herron episode. As I listened to her share her deeply personal and painful experiences, it was disheartening to hear Jordana respond with such indifference. Her questions and comments seemed detached and unsympathetic, failing to acknowledge the gravity of what she went through. My heart broke for Sarah, and it was clear that Jordana missed an important opportunity to offer genuine support and understanding.
  • Em135246
    A Weekly Fav
    I look forward every week to listening to this podcast. My sister and I both listen and always debrief afterwards! I love the back and forth between Jordana and Dr Naomi, they’re so relatable! The only feedback I have is that there is way too much wedding content. Doesn’t Betches have its own brides podcast? Always interesting to listen to interpersonal issues with MIL or SIL, but recently a lot has been during the wedding process. Still a fav podcast and will continue to suggest it to my friends and listen weekly 😊
  • swim255075100
    Excited for every episode
    Can’t thank you both enough for this podcast, is very helpful in daily life but also entertaining! Made me look at situations differently and how I approach them. Like have 2 wise older sisters to listen to, keep up the great work!!
  • F205S
    Need more exciting stories
    I’ve listened since day 1, I love the chemistry between Dr Naomi and Jordana and their insights. This said I think emails have turned a little dull lately. Stories and issues have become (in my opinion) too normal/ average and I find myself skipping through in hope to find something more exciting down the road. I understand that more common problems may be more relatable and attract a wider audience but, if this is the reason for the choice, I’d say that a more daring approach would attract even more audience. I personally found more benefit in their comments on less relatable but more interesting stories, even though I wasn’t necessarily going through the same thing as the emailer, precisely because a more incisive and unique story makes for more profound comments from Jordana and Dr Naomi.
  • teachers gotta eat too
    Love love love
    I listen to most of Jordana’s podcast because I love her logical and reasonable point of view on topics. I also just love the cadence of her voice! When I heard this podcast i instantly became a loyal listener. Dr. Naomi had the same soothing voice and logical problem solving process. Honestly love everything about this pod & everything Betches.
  • Chd0317
    Baby Steps
    I generally really enjoy this mini series and the guests. I have had a very similar journey/timeline for Jordana and her vulnerability both on this podcast and Uup have been so refreshing and really could listen to just her talk about the topic and feel better. I wish they would incorporate more “normal” people in the series as my one piece of feedback, similar to Jordana honestly since that is what is most relatable to me. I know these people may not be as great to interview just since they aren’t experienced in it, but if not live interviews maybe taking some focussed emails like normal Oversharing and doing a small segment before or after the interviews. The Tara interview had a little bit of that with diving into certain moments/experiences you go through that are so small yet relatable, and would love more of that- living in the suburbs with kids everywhere going through infertility, avoiding friends who you’re scared will tell you their pregnant, the ups and downs of looking when you’re due date will be, the frustration of not ever really knowing what’s wrong, ect. But, generally love and look forward to the episodes and appreciate the content especially during going through this myself.
  • AlexaBoBexa13
    Love Dr. Naomi’s reasoning
    Personally loved this last episode where Dr Naomi rebukes parents freaking out over toxins and says there’s really not studies out there of them shortening kids’ lives. After seeing so many social media videos but realizing I don’t know any of their “credentials” I literally felt a weight off my shoulders ❤️
  • Sallymanderkins
    Guided meditation request
    Can you please do a guided meditation on pet loss? I know Dr Naomi spoke on it when a listener wrote in about her dog a while ago and touched on it recently when a husband really loved his cat.
  • Planet earth lover
    Love this podcast! Please be careful how you talk about climate change
    I love this podcast, I look forward to it every week! It was very hard to hear Jordana and Dr Naomi talk about climate change in such a dismissive and uninformed way. Jordana please do not spread misinformation about recycling and connecting flights. Please also don’t say things like “I assume someone else is taking care of this”. Dr Naomi, saying things like “people will pay attention when it directly affects them” dismisses the massive climate change impacts that have already happened in our lifetime… Wild fires on the east coast, an earth quake on the east coast, no snow in Colorado or the PNW. Please choose your words wisely about these issues because you now give permission to your listeners to think this way ❤️
  • ilaganke
    On my weekly rotation
    I love Jordana on U Up, and her sensibility continues to be a good balance on oversharing. Both her and Dr. Naomi have great chemistry, and a good balance between the realities of today that Jordana brings, and calm and collectedness of Dr. Naomi. The only feedback I want to provide is about baby steps. As an average suburban mom who has been struggling with fertility issues in trying to expand our family, some of the topics and guests were not relatable. I think bringing on specialists such as hormone doctors, nutritionists, etc. would be a lot more interesting than some of these farther out topics that was covered in season 1!
  • charlotteHJJ
    Recycling/emissions convo wasn’t great
    I normally love this podcast and am excited to listen every week. I found the discussion of recycling and carbon emissions in this week’s episode - which essentially dismissed taking any individual actions to support the environment without first conducting any underlying research - to be irresponsible and out of character of the show. Please do your research and avoid spreading misinformation on these topics (recycling, the connecting flight comment). Many trust this podcast for advice and this would be a good opportunity for Jordanna especially (given her role leading a company) to be more educated on sustainability and climate practices.

    Favorite podcast of all time (aside from U Up)
    I literally go to bed excited to wake up and get to listen to this show, it feels so therapeutic and puts me in such a good mood. I already loved Jordana from U up but Dr. N makes me feel like I just took an antidepressant, such a boost of joy and peace.
  • albhd3
    Like talking to your friends, if your friends gave good advice.
    This podcast is both entertaining and helpful. They keep things moving at an enjoyable pace and get into issues while keeping things real and moving along at a good pace, and bringing a few laughs too. It’s literally like talking though problems with your closest friends, if your closest friends actually gave good advice. Thanks for the great podcast, Jordana and Dr. Naomi!

    Great podcast! Suggestion for an ep
    I am obsessed with this podcast! I had a suggestion for an episode of baby steps, I am in my 30s and thinking of freezing eggs and doing a split egg with a company that donates half and you keep half and they pay for the retrieval and storage. I’d love to hear more about this process on the show from someone who decided to do this
