ADHD with Jenna Free

by Jenna Free, Canadian Certified Counselor | ADHD Therapist & Coach

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. It's also the show where therapists, coaches, and counselors come to deepen their understanding of treating ADHD in adults and learn what regulation-based care looks like in practice. 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. You're stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted because your brain is running on fight-or-flight. Willpower was never the solution, and once you understand that, everything changes. 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 do 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? What does nervous system regulation have to do with ADHD? How do I stop feeling overwhelmed with ADHD? How do I get trained to treat ADHD in adults using a regulation-based approach? What does ADHD therapist training through a regulation framework actually cover? This podcast covers the full experience of living with adult ADHD: the real science behind procrastination in ADHD and ADHD task paralysis, why ADHD and perimenopause collide in ways no one talks about, and the solution-focused conversations most ADHD podcasts aren't having. For practitioners, Jenna also gets into the clinical side: what nervous system regulation training looks like, how to apply a regulation framework with clients, and what ADHD coach certification and ADHD therapist training often omit. Jenna shares her own story throughout, what it looks like to go from chronically dysregulated to thriving, so whether you're living with ADHD or working with people who are, you can see what's possible. This show gives adults with ADHD, newly navigating a late diagnosis, and clinicians seeking ADHD continuing education one thing: a clear path toward healing 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, or a practitioner who wants to understand ADHD at the nervous system level, you're in the right place.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

After reading so many books, watching tons of videos, etc. all about ADHD and trying so many tricks and ‘hacks’ that never truly seemed to help, discovering Jenna and her approach has already been so life changing! I’m loving this podcast and am so excited for all the helpful episodes to come.

AnnieB1214 · Apr 2025

I’ve been preaching nervous system regulation to anyone who will listen, and Jenna’s content is some of the best free resources I’ve ever come across. I’ve paid thousands of dollars for nervous system coaching in the past, and while it was very helpful, Jenna’s advice is A++, especially for ADHD!

Align & Unleash · Apr 2025

After being diagnosed seven years ago, this is the most helpful content I have found to date!

L&H mama · Apr 2025

Have been following on Instagram for awhile, it’s great to see more long form. I have gotten so much more aware of disregulation. Jenna explains the concepts in an approachable way that feels like you’re having coffee with a friend.
