4.9 out of 5 stars from 505 ratings
  • Accessible, affirming, AND evidence based!

    I have followed this podcast from the beginning because Jen has a great way with words and I needed something exactly like this that could help me understand my own late diagnosis.

    You can see from the episode titles that she covers some really nuanced challenges that you might be dealing with but didn’t know it had a name (RSD, ODD, etc).

    She studies the latest literature about ADHD and ASD to deliver real facts in a relatable not overly clinical way. I have shared and recommended several epi... more

  • I’ve been a fan of Jen’s for years and now I know why

    As a fellow 40 woman recently diagnosed with AuDHD, I went looking for helpful resources and found this podcast. After listening for a couple minutes I thought wait… I know her! “Know” is figurative, but I have in fact been a fan of Jen since she first appeared on Doug Loves Movies in 2010. How cool to discover someone I’ve been entertained by for so long has a brain a lot like mine. Anyway, on to the podcast. What a great resource. Thanks, Jen for sharing your honest thoughts - I feel seen and... more

  • Helpful, actionable advice from someone who’s in the trenches too

    I recently discovered You Are A Lot and am amazed at how Jen is able to zero in on very specific ADHD issues and behaviors in each episode and break them down in an accessible way while also offering actionable advice.

    She never sounds like she's giving that advice from on high, as if she has everything figured out or has an easy fix. She's realistic in what she thinks her advice can and can't do, which I greatly appreciate. I feel very seen and less alone from the podcast and have started impl... more

  • Practical tips w/ a great sense of humor!

    Recently discovered this podcast and am so grateful! I’m also a middle-aged Gen Xer and appreciate Jen’s personal challenges with ADHD and shares what has worked for her, and provides other options to consider. I’m seriously considering joining her community so I can finally eliminate my chronic procrastination with the encouragement and accountability of people who get it! Thanks so much, Jen!
