Podcast: ADHD with Jenna Free

Bio: Jenna Free is a counselor (CCC) for ADHD with ADHD. She specializes in working with the ADHD brain to get it out of fight-or-flight and into working its best, while honoring neurodivergence and all of our uniqueness. She has a focus on helping people with ADHD live a more enjoyable while also being more productive.
Diagnosed with ADHD at 32 while raising two kids and earning her master’s degree, Jenna hit a breaking point when her usual coping mechanisms stopped working. Moving between extreme highs and debilitating lows, she discovered that ADHD itself wasn’t the biggest burden, but living in survival mode was. After hundreds of hours working with ADHD clients, Jenna realized they were all stuck in the same dysregulation cycle. The ADHD Regulation Method she developed now guides both her personal life and her clinical work.
Jenna lives in Calgary, Alberta, with her husband and two sons. When she isn’t working with ADHDers, you can find her exploring some random new hobby—right now these include acting, tennis, and yoga.
