This is Gold Stars & Doom Piles - the podcast for high-functioning ADHD women.

We talk about executive dysfunction, task initiation, emotional regulation, burnout, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, energy management and the real skills nobody taught us. If you've been diagnosed with ADHD (or you're pretty sure you have it) and you're exhausted from white-knuckling your way through life, you're in the right place.

In this episode Jen shares the real story behind a wild week. Her Instagram grew from 7,200 to over 11,000 followers in less than a week after posting a batch of trial reels, and within days she'd booked 17 client consults.

It should feel like nothing but a win. And mostly, it does. But Jen gets honest about the rejection sensitive dysphoria that showed up right alongside the success... the part nobody talks about when things actually start working.

She also traces her own path from health and weight loss coaching into ADHD specific work, and how the systems she originally built just to survive her own postpartum burnout turned out to be exactly what high functioning ADHD women had been missing. Plus, why she's committed to staying loudly, fully herself online... political opinions, social views, and all... because the clients who are the right fit are the ones who actually want that.

In this episode:

The trial reel strategy that grew her account by almost 4,000 followers in a week

Why 17 consult bookings came with a wave of RSD instead of pure celebration

Her path from postpartum weight loss coaching to ADHD specific coaching

Why high functioning ADHD women struggle more with internal systems than external tasks

Why she refuses to soften her voice or her values to appeal to a broader audience
