  • Great information, super accessible

    I loved Jen’s previous podcast and it was an easy pivot to this one. I am Gen X, diagnosed with ADHD in 1995, age 22. I just lived my life and hadn’t kept up with the last 30 years of research and knowledge. This podcast has distilled this information in accessible episodes, with practical tips and advice. Thanks Jen!!

  • The Best

    I’m not even sure where to begin. I haven’t been diagnosed ADHD (yet) and it will be a late diagnosis once I finally find an appropriate provider. Anyway, I cannot believe how helpful and informative this podcast is. I’ve already used the body double recommendations. Great information served up with just the right blend of Jen Kirkman kindness and insightful snark.

  • My OG & Unbeknownst ADHD Coach

    I’ve been a fan of Jen Kirkman’s work for years. We’ve successfully maintained at least a decade’s long parasocial relationship. Initially I was a fan of her comedy, but what kept me coming back for her content was her openness about her mental health journey, which has mirrored my own. When she released this podcast, I was ecstatic. I started questioning whether I had ADHD in large part due to her sharing her experience of handling anxiety and then learning of her own ADHD diagnosis and facing ... more
