the four of us have been friends since graduate school. we take an annual trip together and have been doing this since before we had children when we were no longer all in the same city together.

This year, on our annual getaway, we talked about doing a podcast together. We figured, we already spend hours talking and texting each other about everything from celebrity gossip, current events, family, adult friendships, health and beauty. with all of our conversations having a continuous theme of life and relationship transitions and the challenges and joys of being women, daughters, wives, psychologists, and working mothers each with our own private practice.

Because of our 20+ years of friendship, and the four of us sharing so much history, we share a special and unique bond and have a dynamic and easy chemistry when we are together. We figured we would simply start recording some of these conversations, and see if they land for anyone else…and that is the origin story behind ‘The Shrink Down.’
