This week Jeremy gets the chance to chat with Madeleine Doelker Berlin, owner of Wildflower Counseling MKE. Madeleine shares her journey from Germany to the U.S., transitioning from homelessness services to becoming a counselor. She highlights systemic differences in social and mental health services between the two countries, focusing on how structural challenges in the U.S., such as limited social safety nets and resource competition, amplify struggles for both unhoused individuals and providers. Madeleine also discusses the complexities of adult immigration, including cultural misalignment, Midwest norms, and her focus on supporting immigrant women and navigating motherhood through her private practice.
You can find more information about Madeleine and her work at wildflowermke.com or find her on Instagram @wildflowercounselingmke
Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
