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... still city girls?
Today, Jen and Maddy get real about breaking up with New York City.
Jen (now suburban and serene) and Maddy (still clinging to city chaos) unpack how money, identity, and timing shape the decision to leave ... and what happens when change feels like giving up.
Key Topics:
- When your zip code becomes part of your identity
- How to know it’s time for a change — and what’s really holding you back
- The emotional side of leaving (or staying)
- Finances, FOMO, and finding peace where you are
