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
Haunted by the Past? How Old Experiences Shape Our Reactions (and How to Heal)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you ever find yourself reacting strongly to a situation and not quite understanding why? In this episode, Chris and Jen explore how unresolved experiences from our past can quietly influence our reactions in the present. Through personal stories, neuroscience-informed insights about emotional memory and triggers, and compassionate reflection, they discuss how to recognize these “ghosts,” process old emotions, and stop being haunted by experiences that no longer serve us.
