Join Jake and Jennifer on JJ Unplugged for raw, unfiltered conversations about life, growth, and everything in between. From deep dives into personal experiences to random tangents about chocolate and Pilates machines, no topic is off-limits when these two get together. Expect honest discussions, unexpected humor, and the kind of authentic conversations you'd have with your closest friends.
Season 2 kicks off with Jake and Jennifer reflecting on what they learned from Season 1, why a “loose agenda” is the only agenda that works for them, and how neurodivergent brains actually move through the world. They talk task switching, literal communication, masking and unmasking after diagnosis, executive dysfunction over the holidays, and the guilt people project onto rest. The episode also wanders (as intended) into AI as a thought partner, aphantasia vs dreaming, pattern recognition as a survival skill, and practical boundary moves like turning off Slack badges.
