Description

ADHD with Jenna Free is a podcast for adults with ADHD who are done surviving their symptoms and ready to start thriving with ADHD without the endless tips, hacks, and workarounds that have never really fixed anything. Hosted by Jenna Free, a Canadian Certified Counselor (CCC) and ADHD therapist, this show exists to give you a completely different way of understanding ADHD in adults and the signs of ADHD in women. Because the reason you're stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted isn't a lack of willpower, it's that your brain is running in fight or flight. And once you understand that, everything changes. This podcast covers the full experience of living with adult ADHD: the real science behind procrastination in ADHD and ADHD task paralysis, ADHD executive functioning strategies that work, why ADHD and perimenopause collide in ways no one talks about, and the honest, solution-focused conversations that most ADHD podcasts aren't having. Jenna also shares her own story, what it looks like to go from chronically dysregulated to genuinely thriving, so you can see that this is actually possible for you. This show gives women with ADHD, and anyone who has ever wondered whether ADHD can be diagnosed in adulthood, a path forward that isn't about coping harder, but healing. I'll answer questions like: Do I have ADHD? What is ADHD task paralysis, and how do I get unstuck? Why is my ADHD getting worse in my 40s? What does ADHD and perimenopause do to your brain? How do I manage ADHD emotional dysregulation without medication alone? Why do I procrastinate so much with ADHD? Why don't ADHD tips and tricks ever work long-term? What does it look like to thrive with ADHD Can you heal ADHD symptoms without just white-knuckling through life? What does nervous system regulation have to do with ADHD? How do I stop feeling overwhelmed with ADHD? If you're an adult with ADHD who's tired of the commiseration and ready for a show that believes your life can look completely different, you're in the right place.
