Chris and Jen in the Morning: Self-Care Conversations on Personal Growth, Happiness, and How Our Brains Work
Two friends with a podcast about gratitude, self-care, personal growth, and finding happiness - all with a side of levity and laughter.
Long-distance friends, we shorten the miles between DFW and NYC in our weekly podcast where we focus on self care, seeking happiness, and trying to live our best life. We add in a splash of neuroscience and talk about what happens in our brains, why we feel and react the way we do, and how to live better, more authentic, more fulfilling, happier lives.
In our middle-life years, we decided to share our conversations about adulting, chasing joy, being part of the LGBTQ+ community, parenting, personal growth, awkwardness, anxiety, mental health, and so much more to help others who can relate find kinship and a sense of community.
Ready to live your best life (and laugh along the way)? Subscribe and join us on our journey through life together.

Chris and Jen in the Morning: Self-Care Conversations on Personal Growth, Happiness, and How Our Brains Work
Feeling Torn? How to Navigate Conflicting Emotions Without Getting Stuck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt pulled in two directions at once—holding strong, conflicting emotions about the same situation? In this episode, Chris and Jen explore why this happens, what’s actually going on in the brain when emotions collide, and why it can leave us feeling confused or stuck. Through personal reflection and neuroscience-informed insight, unravel why we experience such extreme dualities and how to get unstuck. They emphasize the importance of the "Feel, Pause, Plan, Act" framework discussed in a previous episode to help listeners better understand their emotions, regain clarity, and move forward with intention and self-compassion.
