Instructions Needed! is an audio-only podcast about the moments in life where there’s no clear right answer.
Each episode explores a real, anonymous dilemma sent in by listeners — stories about love, family, friendships, boundaries, identity, and the quiet conflicts we don’t always say out loud. There are no experts and no perfect solutions. Just honest conversation, multiple perspectives, and the space to sit with uncertainty.
This podcast isn’t here to tell you what to do.
It’s here to remind you that you’re not alone in not knowing.
New episodes weekly.
Anonymous submissions always welcome.
Because life didn’t come with instructions — and sometimes we need help finding our own.
What do you leave behind when you know you're leaving?
In this episode, we read a letter from a young mother with a terminal diagnosis who is spending her final months of good health recording video messages for her children — birthdays, milestones, the moments she knows she'll miss. But it's one last video she considered making that's left her questioning everything.
Not for her children. Not for her husband. For the woman he might love someday.
Was it an act of grace — or one last way of holding on? Jesper is joined by Marie Feuer, Dr. and Michele Pilon for one of the most honest, tender conversations this show has ever had.
There are no easy answers here. Just a woman learning how to say goodbye.

Is Great Chemistry Worth Losing a Great Man?
In this episode, we explore a difficult relationship dilemma involving love, chemistry, emotional infidelity, and the fear of hurting someone who has done nothing wrong. A woman is preparing to move in with her kind, dependable boyfriend and potentially buy her grandparents’ home together—but she’s questioning whether their relationship has the romantic chemistry she needs.
After reconnecting with someone from her past who she remembers having intense physical chemistry with, she finds herself emotionally conflicted and secretly planning to meet him. With movers already scheduled and her boyfriend building his future around their relationship, she must decide whether to move forward, postpone the move, or walk away.
Is romantic chemistry something you can learn, or is it something you either have or don’t? Is staying with a good person without feeling fully connected unfair to both partners? And when you've already crossed an emotional boundary, how honest should you be with the person you love?
A conversation about relationship compatibility, sexual chemistry, emotional cheating, commitment, honesty, and making difficult choices before taking the next step.

S2026.EP7.P2 - When Help Starts to Feel Like Control!
In this episode, we explore the emotional complexity of pregnancy, boundaries with in-laws, and what happens when excitement becomes overwhelm. One expectant mother shares her struggle with a well-meaning but overinvolved mother-in-law whose constant advice, daily contact, and control over baby decisions have left her feeling invisible in her own pregnancy journey.
From baby clothes and nursery choices to family boundaries and navigating a husband caught in the middle, this conversation dives into pregnancy stress, toxic family dynamics, setting healthy boundaries with in-laws, and reclaiming your identity as a new mother.
How do you ask for space without sounding ungrateful? How do you protect your role as a parent while preserving family relationships? If you’ve ever felt overshadowed during pregnancy or struggled with overbearing in-laws, this episode offers honest insight into motherhood, emotional boundaries, and finding your voice before baby arrives.
