Jen Friel is a neurodivergent powerhouse redefining what it means to be a modern-day polymath. As the founder of Talk Nerdy to Me®, Jen pioneered one of the first viral blogs to blend tech culture, dating, and personal storytelling—long before influencers were even a thing. A late-diagnosed "projector-poly-synesthete" (yes, she sees auras), Jen’s unique neurodivergent brain includes autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and hyperlexia—traits that don't slow her down, but supercharge her creative output.

In the early days of social media — before TikTok algorithms, Instagram influencers, and the constant hum of viral content — there was a different kind of internet pioneer. Someone who didn’t wait for permission to be seen or heard. Someone who blurred the line between personal storytelling, nerd culture, and digital performance art. That person was Jen Friel, and her creation was a blog called Talk Nerdy To Me® — a project that would help redefine internet culture, dating, vulnerability, and what it meant to be unapologetically nerdy in public.
