Press Bio

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.

Jen’s writing has amassed millions of readers across platforms, and her storytelling has landed her everywhere from Forbes to CNBC, to keynote stages and reality TV. She’s not just a blogger—she’s a brand strategist, speaker, and unfiltered truth-teller who turns life’s messiest moments into online gold and media momentum.

A genius-level problem solver with a hilarious edge, Jen breaks stigmas around neurodiversity, especially autism in women, using humor, data, and painfully relatable insights. She’s currently expanding her work into podcasting, synesthesia research, and a forthcoming book that dives into life on the spectrum, unmasked.

When she’s not writing or consulting, you’ll find her people-watching like it’s an Olympic sport, decoding body language, or creating content at the intersection of pop culture, psychology, and the absurd.
