This week on Oversharing, Dr. Naomi is getting a crash course in Texas homecoming culture as her family navigates their first season of elaborate “mums,” homecoming proposals, and all the teenage social dynamics that come with them. Then, a listener grieving the loss of her lifelong friend group wonders how to forgive herself and start over socially in her 30s, while a granddaughter who lost her mom finds herself unexpectedly promoted to “daughter” and questions how much responsibility she owes her aging grandmother. An Intention comes from a newly divorced listener learning who she is when she’s not being a wife, mom, employee, or looking for another relationship. In Triggered, a mother-in-law offers $20K toward a house, only to call her son “presumptuous” when he follows up on the offer. Finally, a listener receives the terrifying words “lymphoma suspected” in her medical results but hears nothing from her doctor for days. Can someone please fix the way medical results are delivered?
