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.

Exceptional podcast
Love love the pod! Each episode has something relatable! Your dynamic is wonderful and balanced. Getting me through some long nights as I just had my second daughter! ❤️
Why is it a woman’s job to “get her man to be more responsible”?
I’m a big fan of the podcast, but I must say that I was pretty shocked by N&J’s response to the first voicemail question in most recent episode about “how to get your partner to become more responsible”. I think she completely minimized the burden of labour being shouldered by the caller. Having a forced utility outage as a result of the boyfriend’s neglect is a severe example of his incompetence (e.g., massive inconvenience it causes, follow up with utility provider required, credit score negatively affected). However by the way that Naomi and Jordana responded, you’d have though that the boyfriend had forgotten to pickup groceries one too many times.
Naomi’s final advice to the caller was to confront her boyfriend and ask him to “help her more”, but Naomi failed to see that her language still implies that it’s the girlfriend’s responsibility be the “director” (as Jordan mentioned) and the boyfriend is merely her assistant which shifts all of the responsibility back on to the girlfriend. Moreover, it puts the onus back on the caller to make yet another plea for basic respect. I think that that kind of language/advice perpetuates harmful notions that it’s a woman’s job take on the brunt of unpaid domestic and emotional labour despite the fact there are 2 grown adults in a relationship, not 1. YIKES!
Love!
