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.

Imposter Syndrome: Why We Doubt Ourselves (and How to Stop Feeling Like a Fraud)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Imposter syndrome can make even capable, accomplished people feel like they don’t belong. In this episode, Chris and Jen share personal experiences with self-doubt and explore the emotional and cognitive roots of imposter syndrome. They discuss why these feelings arise, how societal expectations reinforce them, and practical strategies—including self-awareness, community support, and reframing—to help stop feeling like a fraud and build genuine confidence.
