What happens when a late-diagnosed autistic woman with synesthesia decides to hack her own life in the name of adventure? Meet Jen Friel—writer, entrepreneur, and accidental internet pioneer—who once quit her job to "give up everything she owned" (pre-influencer marketing being a 'thing') and live off of social media. Her experiment turned into a viral brand that was optioned by Jerry Bruckheimer and purchased as a put-pilot at CBS (after a four-way bidding war between ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX ... of course). This isn't just another podcast—it's a ride through identity, chaos, resilience, and the weirdly wonderful ways we find our place in the world. If you've ever felt "too much" or "not enough," Jen's story might be just for you.© 2026 Jen Friel - All Rights Reserved Sciences sociales

    EP. 4 - That Time I Befriended A Modern Day Shaman

    Jen had the evidence. The footage. The eyewitness accounts. The background reports. The professional confirmation. She had done everything right — and still, the picture wasn't complete. The why kept slipping through her fingers. This episode is about the conversation that changed the direction of everything. From a COVID-era speakeasy hidden behind an alley in Mid-City, to a support group phone call she never expected to be on, Jen follows the thread from what she knows to what she's finally ready to name. And somewhere between a casting notice taped to an art deco door and a term she had never heard before, someone she trusts completely sees exactly what she sees. Some people have a name for what you've been experiencing. This is the episode where Jen finds it.

    EP. 3 - That Time I Was Surrounded by Idiots

    For years, Jen had been telling people what she was seeing. The body language. The patterns. The feeling that something was deeply, deliberately wrong. And for years, she had been met with skepticism, silence, or a polite suggestion to try again later. This episode is about the moment that changed. From a hotel lobby to a police station to a spa in Koreatown, Jen pieces together a story that is stranger — and more validating — than anything she could have scripted. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a complete stranger confirms everything. Some people really do see what others miss. This is the episode where the proof shows up. That Time I Was Surrounded by Idiots — a story about instincts, validation, and a t-shirt that says more than it was ever meant to.

    Ep. 2 - That Time My Pics Were Shared Without Permission
    Jun 11 2026
    Jen Friel boards a cruise ship with her family, knowing she's still being followed. She tries to push it out of her mind. It takes less than a day for the pattern to reappear. But this time, something is different. The behavior is bolder. More coordinated. And Jen is done being silent. What happens next sets off a chain of events that takes her from international waters to a police station lobby, from a Yelp search for private investigators to a phone call that changes everything. Along the way, she learns who believes her, who doesn't, and what it actually takes to be heard when no one thinks your story is real. This is the episode where instinct meets action.
