Advice to Our Younger Selves Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

Today's episode of ShrinkChicks is dedicated to advice for our younger selves. Emmalee and Jen share the advice they would give to their younger selves and also the advice written in by their audience. They start the episode by reminiscing on the early days of The Therapy Group and the amount of anxiety they had while building the business. They talk through how they've grown since then and the advice they had trouble hearing at the time. Emmalee and Jen discuss why they think we can also give this advice to our present selves, their experiences being “the chill girl” in relationships, shifting away from the need for external validation, the regrets they have surrounding dieting, a potential new tagline for ShrinkChicks, and so much more!
