52: ADHD Uncovered: Myths, Challenges, and Strengths with Guest Dr. Jessica McCarthy

Neuroscience-Backed Wellness Support for Parents 

*Top 10% Globally Ranked Podcast*

Are you tired of feeling alone on your journey of being a parent and having to juggle so much between work, family, and managing all of the things?

Is it hard to remember a time when you felt happiness and joy because you are constantly overwhelmed by life’s demands? 

Do you long for a deeper connection with your partner, kids, or friends, and wish you had a supportive community to help you navigate this challenging season of life? 

I am so glad you are here! 

This podcast will provide you with real life stories, neuroscience-backed strategies, and practical skills to help you feel less alone on your journey toward greater joy, authenticity, and improved mental and relational well-being. 

Hi, I’m Jen Alley. I’m a wife, a mom, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a coffee fanatic. Just like you, I am trying to figure it all out as I navigate this one messy and beautiful life I have been given. 

I know that even good lives come with challenges including parenting struggles, trying to stay close to your partner in the grind of life, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship difficulties, and aging parents just to name a few. I have been guilty of trying to get through the hard times alone and presenting a polished exterior while struggling on the inside.

Over the years, I’ve learned that perfectionism is isolating, that we are meant to be in community, and that vulnerability can be connecting and healing. I’ve also learned that having strategic systems in place can help reduce overwhelm and allow us to reconnect with ourselves and the people who matter most to us. 

I’m excited to be your mental health coach. I will share therapeutic concepts, brain science, and real life stories with you to help you better understand yourself and to improve the relationships that matter most to you. 

If you are ready for actionable strategies, tools, and skills to feel more present and less stressed…

Authentic stories that help you feel less alone in your journey…

And research, therapeutic concepts, and neuroscience made accessible to help you navigate your struggles and relationships with more ease…

Throw on your tennis shoes for a walk or grab your own cup of coffee and let’s get started! 

PS. This podcast is not therapy, but it is a great adjunct to therapy. Life is hard. Let’s do it together!
