Summary
We get to enjoy the delicious Jen Kirkman on another episode of the podcast!
The TV writer, comedian, New York Times best-selling author, podcaster, and FOCUSED member shared part 1 of her ADHD story.
Jen’s story of misdiagnosis, navigating a career in the public eye, and figuring out how to use her diagnosis to help other people inspired so many of you.
In part 2, we get to learn…
- How Jen found ADHD coaching (spoiler: it was listening to this very podcast)
- The different ways she uses talk therapy and coaching
- Her daily morning routine she calls "Bedquarters"
- How she was able to step away from burnout and into a life she loves
- What her career plans are for 2024 and beyond
For being the *most* famous person in my group coaching program, Jen is incredibly relatable. You can use the tools and routines she’s incorporated into her daily life to set yourself up for success in living a life with ADHD.
Jen is encouraging, entertaining, and educational. I can’t recommend part 2 of my interview with Jen Kirkman enough.
