Are We Okay? with licensed therapists, Maddy & Jennifer
Welcome to the podcast where it’s time to talk about talk therapy.
Meet Maddy and Jennifer, two NYC-based licensed therapists who have swapped the couch for the mic to offer listeners a weekly glimpse into life from a clinician’s perspective.
As founders of their own therapy practices—Maddy of Downtown Behavioral Wellness and Jennifer of Manhattan Wellness—both help hundreds of clients each week. Now, they sit down to share stories and insights about the multitude of highs and lows faced in our 20s and 30s, from heartbreak to city living, career moves, and self-confidence, along with practical ways to turn the page each day.
Tune in every Friday for a raw look at their personal journeys as clinical professionals and decade-long friends!
Are We Okay? with licensed therapists, Maddy & Jennifer
are we... losing the spark?
What happens when the honeymoon phase fades and real life takes over?
Jen and Maddy get candid about losing the spark in a relationship, spotting the signs early, and reigniting connection when things start to feel… routine. From mental load and communication to intimacy and independence, they’re breaking down what it actually takes to keep love alive.
Key Topics:
- How to tell when your relationship is losing its spark
- Practical ways to bring back connection and excitement
- Why comfort isn’t always a bad thing — and what it can teach you
- The myth of “putting your relationship first” (and what to do instead)
- Navigating the mental load, communication, and self-prioritization
- What to do when your partner stops trying — or you stop caring
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep love alive when life gets busy, this episode is your reminder that the spark isn’t gone — it just needs a little attention.
