Pull up a chair: This one goes deep into the trenches of purpose, calling, and the “Oh right: This is who I am” phase of the messy midlife.

In this Just Us episode, Nic and Jen ditch the guests and dish on their professional trajectories…from when they were nudged toward therapy and writing, to a fateful fax-machine epiphany, to the gut whispers that grew louder as they hit their 40s. They trace how two best friends, one a clinicalist (yes, we’re coining it) and the other a storyteller-ist (we’re coining that, too), built parallel careers centered on listening, curiosity, and helping people make sense of their lives.
Listen in on how they explore power dynamics in therapy, flattening hierarchies, learning how to hold space, interviewing as an art form, and how midlife shifts our sense of competence, confidence, and identity. With laughs, reflection, and a few “remember fax machines?” moments, enjoy the unmistakable comfort of two women who have spent 30 years growing up—and growing into themselves—together, and the permission to evolve in real time.
