ShrinkChicks

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen dig into the topic of breaking intergenerational patterns and the ways in which we end up just like our parents, for good and for bad. From inherited quirks and “mental health heirlooms” to subconscious habits we don't notice until a third party points them out, they explore what to carry forward and what to leave behind.Listener questions include how to cope when parents won't acknowledge past harm, setting boundaries without cutting contact, and resisting the pull of old family dynamics. Em and Jen share practical tools for breaking cycles in the moment, from creating pauses and practicing new behaviors to building new normals and offering yourself compassion when you slip up. Plus, in Dear Em & Jen, they respond to a listener grieving her shifting role as her brothers' girlfriends become part of the family.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen tackle one of their most requested topics: marriage advice! And as two Marriage and Family Therapists who are married themselves, they definitely have a lot to say on the topic.  From the best (and worst) advice they've gotten themselves, to questions like “How do you know if they're the one?” and “What should we talk about before getting married?”, Em and Jen cover the messy, practical, and surprising truths about love and commitment. They explore what changes after marriage, which flaws are worth putting up with, and why “when you know, you know” isn't always the whole story. Listener questions dig into readiness, money conversations, staying close while changing, and the difference between relational health and chemistry. Plus, in Dear Em & Jen, they respond to a listener navigating how to share pregnancy news with a friend struggling with infertility. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen are reunited on the pod after baby Birdie's birth, who is already showing off by sleeping through the night and sending her sister Millie into a slight spiral. In this episode, the two tackle one of the toughest topics in relationships: repairing after infidelity. From the shame and secrecy surrounding affairs to the consistent behaviors that rebuild trust, they share why some couples grow stronger after betrayal and what real healing requires. Listener questions cover everything from handling judgment from family and friends, managing breakdowns post-betrayal, forgiving yourself if you were unfaithful, and deciding whether to stay or go. Plus, in Dear Em & Jen, they respond to a listener struggling with repeated betrayal in her marriage. Whether you're facing infidelity yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about this topic, this episode reminds all of us that it's possible to write a new relationship narrative.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen dive into the messy, complicated, and oh-so-human world of duality: how two things can be true at once. From being grateful but still wanting more, to setting boundaries and feeling both relief and grief, they explore why holding contradictions feels so uncomfortable, and why it can also be a sign of growth. They answer listener questions on everything from navigating personal struggles when others seem to have it “worse,” to holding both excitement and fear in big life changes, to grieving the loss of a therapist while still feeling grateful for the work you've done together. Along the way, Em and Jen remind us that pain is not a competition, gratitude doesn't have to equal complacency, and your feelings don't need to cancel each other out to be real. Whether you're moving through a divorce, starting a new job, or simply facing the daily contradictions of being human, this episode offers compassion, validation, and some much-needed relief in knowing you don't have to pick just one truth.

On this week's rewind episode of ShrinkChicks, we're revisiting one of our most-loved conversations: what does it really mean to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Em and Jen unpack the difference between HSPs and empaths, why sensitivity can sometimes feel like social anxiety, and how to move through a world that often labels sensitivity as a weakness. They explore what overstimulation looks like—shutting down in crowds, feeling drained after social events, or absorbing the energy around you—and why understanding your sensitivity is the first step to managing it. You'll hear how to set internal boundaries, embrace your emotions (yes, even the crying), and find empowerment in what used to feel like “too much.” Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen dive headfirst into the murky waters of regret—why we feel it, how it shows up, and what it does (and doesn't) mean about the choices we've made. From big life decisions to parenting fears and the spiral of overthinking in the shower, they explore why the fear of regret can be more paralyzing than regret itself, and how to move through it with compassion and clarity.  They unpack the difference between regret, guilt, and shame, reflect on why “right” doesn't always mean “easy,” and share why it's perfectly normal to question even the biggest, most meaningful decisions like becoming a parent. Regret, it turns out, is often about lost possibilities, not wrong turns.  Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen are diving deep into inner child work—what it is, why it matters, and how to know when it's your adult self making a choice… or your 5-year-old self running the show. They explore how childhood wounds shape big emotions and disproportionate reactions, what it means to reparent yourself, and how to move from autopilot to awareness. They also break down generational trauma—how it's passed on through behaviors, beliefs, and even biology—and what it really looks like to break the cycle (hint: progress, not perfection). From grief around emotionally unavailable parents to navigating guilt with your own kids, they remind us that healing isn't about perfection; it's about curiosity, compassion, and regulation. Plus: how to deal when your mom won't apologize, what to do when your MIL suddenly turns hostile, and why you will mess up your kids, just maybe not in the ways you fear.

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen are diving deep into inner child work—what it is, why it matters, and how to know when it's your adult self making a choice… or your 5-year-old self running the show. They explore how childhood wounds shape big emotions and disproportionate reactions, what it means to reparent yourself, and how to move from autopilot to awareness. They also break down generational trauma—how it's passed on through behaviors, beliefs, and even biology—and what it really looks like to break the cycle (hint: progress, not perfection). From grief around emotionally unavailable parents to navigating guilt with your own kids, they remind us that healing isn't about perfection; it's about curiosity, compassion, and regulation. Plus: how to deal when your mom won't apologize, what to do when your MIL suddenly turns hostile, and why you will mess up your kids, just maybe not in the ways you fear.

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen talk about how to grow together, even as life throws you curveballs like new babies, career shifts, mismatched speeds of change, and navigating personal growth when your partner isn't quite there (or isn't trying). They explore what it means to walk in the same direction (even if at different paces), how to reconnect after disconnection, and the moments that challenge us to ask: Do I bail too soon—or overstay in discomfort? Their conversation spans the anxiety of becoming new parents, resentment in partnerships, navigating infertility and isolation, and finding joy in family life—especially in a world that doesn't always celebrate all types of families. Plus: why joy is protest, what to know about prenups, and why “clear is kind.” Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen dive into the murky waters of when therapy isn't working—and how to tell if the problem is the process, the therapist, or your own discomfort with growth. They talk about red flags and realistic timelines, the importance of therapeutic fit, and why sometimes therapy feels worse before it feels better. They also mythbust common misconceptions (no, your therapist isn't supposed to give you all the answers), explore what it means when you keep saying the same things in session, and share how to get back into therapy after a not-so-great experience. Plus: how to cope after an emotional session, why your partner doesn't have to like your therapist, and the difference between rumination and reflection.

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking all about the pressure we can feel to be "the chill one" in our relationships. They discuss minimizing your needs and where that may stem from, the socialization of "the cool girl," how to slowly start expressing your needs if you're not used to doing so, why we can't expect others to read our minds, the difference between actually not caring vs. lack of self-advocacy, and so much more!

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking about all things boundaries and their effect on relationships. They discuss when others prefer the version of you that has less boundaries, why discomfort doesn't always equal “danger” or “bad," resentment stemming from a lack of boundaries, guilt as a natural reaction to setting a boundary, getting pushback on boundaries and why it doesn't mean you did something wrong, the acknowledgment that boundaries do affect the other person AND that they're still important to set, why change can be good and still disrupt the system, and so much more!

Emmalee and Jen are taking the week off from a new episode to practice what they preach and allow themselves a break to recharge. In this rewind episode, they teach us how to stop taking sh*t so personally. They discuss where taking things personally may stem from, times when we are more prone to taking things personally, and sensitivity to rejection. Then, Em and Jen answer your questions about constructive criticism, feeling like other people's moods are your fault, getting out of the habit of mind-reading, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
