October 31, 2022 Breaking Family Patterns
This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking all about intergenerational patterns AKA the things that get passed down from generation to generation in our families of origin. They start the episode off by giving examples of intergenerational patterns and trauma and share some of the patterns that exist in both of their families. Emmalee and Jen answer your questions like, are divorce and cheating intergenerational patterns? Is anxiety being passed down inevitable? How do we process anger toward a parent for repeating unhealthy patterns? They also discuss breaking diet culture patterns, relational cut off, seeing our parents as our grandparents' children, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action.

September 05, 2022 Advice to Our Younger Selves
Today's episode of ShrinkChicks is dedicated to advice for our younger selves. Emmalee and Jen share the advice they would give to their younger selves and also the advice written in by their audience. They start the episode by reminiscing on the early days of The Therapy Group and the amount of anxiety they had while building the business. They talk through how they've grown since then and the advice they had trouble hearing at the time. Emmalee and Jen discuss why they think we can also give this advice to our present selves, their experiences being “the chill girl” in relationships, shifting away from the need for external validation, the regrets they have surrounding dieting, a potential new tagline for ShrinkChicks, and so much more!
