ADHD with Jenna Free

What if your money problems aren't about being irresponsible or bad at planning?
What if you're just stuck in survival mode... swinging between spending, hoarding, or avoiding?
In this episode, I break down the four money patterns dysregulated ADHDers get stuck in. It's not about budgets or apps. It's about getting out of fight or flight.
When you're regulated, you make conscious choices with money. When you're dysregulated, you're either impulsively spending, paralyzed by fear, avoiding your accounts, or obsessively checking them.

What if emotional dysregulation isn't the problem?
What if trying to control your emotions is why you're still stuck?
In this episode, I break down why emotional regulation is just a symptom. The real problem is nervous system dysregulation.
Your emotions aren't proof you're failing. They're proof your nervous system feels unsafe. When you stop trying to control the emotion and start regulating your nervous system, everything changes.

What if being "too self-aware" isn't actually the problem?
What if you're just aware of the symptom but not the mechanism creating it?
In this episode, I break down why ADHD self-awareness still leaves you stuck. You know you rush, procrastinate, and avoid. But knowing the behavior doesn't change it because awareness at the surface level isn't deep enough.
True awareness isn't knowing what you're doing. It's understanding why it's happening. When you understand the thoughts, beliefs, and nervous system patterns driving the behavior, that's when real change begins.

What if your anxiety isn't a separate diagnosis you need to manage on top of your ADHD?
What if it's just your nervous system stuck in fight or flight... doing exactly what it thinks it's supposed to do?
In this episode, I break down the connection between ADHD and anxiety and why I put them in the same bucket: dysregulation.
Your brain isn't broken and it's not against you. It's just confused about whether you're actually in danger. When you understand that, the anxiety starts to make a lot more sense, and it becomes a lot easier to soften.

What if your ADHD therapy is accidentally keeping you stuck?
What if focusing on strategies and systems alone is missing the most important piece?
In this episode, I break down what both therapists and clients need to know about working with ADHD. Good therapy should help you feel more regulated, not just more self-aware.
When therapy focuses on external tools without addressing your internal dysregulated state, you stay stuck in the same cycles. Regulation expands your capacity. Strategies just help you cope within your current limits.
