The Self-Loved ADHD Woman Way®️

The Self-Loved ADHD Woman Way is a podcast for Professional Women with ADHD who are ready to overcome the inner and outer challenges of ADHD and break free from neurotypical rules and expectations to create a business or career that works with their ADHD brain. Together we’ll explore our unique ADHD brains and how to work with them effectively, with ADHD-specific tools and strategies so that you can overcome overwhelm, stay focused, and follow-through without burning out.

The Self-Loved Woman Way is hosted by Jen Barnes, MSW, LICSW, E-RYT500, TCTSY-F, a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and yoga teacher. She has a passion for working with women who are late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed ADHD as well as those who are ADHD adjacent.

Prior to becoming a clinical social worker and psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, Jen was an actuarial analyst for nearly four years for a large Minnesota-based company working in retirement plans. She has a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science and a minor in Computer Science, that started out as an accounting degree with numerous business courses. An entrepreneur herself, she owns and operates two business - one, a full time private psychotherapy practice (since 2014) and the other a Digital Business empowering ADHD women entrepreneurs to move beyond ADHD challenges and create a business that replaces their full time income in 12 months.

Jen’s unique blend of education and experiences as an ADHD woman and psychotherapist coupled with her history and experience in business offers a special twist on navigating the world of entrepreneurship as well as corporate environments as an ADHD woman. Further, her expertise in serving women with complex trauma histories offering an additional, deeper layer to the work of overcoming the pain and even trauma of growing up ADHD in a world not designed for us.

This podcast is a fantastic place to embrace your ADHD (yes, even the challenges), explore ADHD specific ways to work and live in this neurotypical society, and learn ADHD specific strategies for creating and growing your own business or career so you can have the time and energy to do more of what you love.
