Jen Swedhin

brain coach + digital unicorn

(pronounced Swuh-deen)

Here’s what you need to know about me. I’m direct and open, what you see is what you get, no reading between the lines here. I have 3 amazing teenagers, and I’m a newly single mom. I grew up in an abusive house, and have worked my entire adult life to break generational cycles, learn my self value, heal, and forgive.

I was diagnosed with adhd in 2015 after my brain decided it was not interested in getting shit done anymore. A few years ago I also discovered I’m autistic, and things make so much more sense now.

I think in systems instead of pictures. Efficiency is my favorite. My top Clifton Strengths are Strategic, Learner, Responsibility, Ideation, Intellection and Command. Which means that I love to learn, strategize, and take charge.

My split brain thinking (I’m 50% left brain, 50% right brain) makes me a great coach – I can see the problems and the creative solutions, I can understand the struggles because I’ve been there, and I can support without taking on emotional journeys as my own. And I really love what I do.

Here’s the fun stuff about me:

  • I have a bunch of pets – cats, lizards, tarantulas and an axolotl
  • I love almond scent and flavoring, and will cry if you find me a good almond tea
  • I spend my free time making pottery (and messes) on my wheel
  • I believe Black lives matter, in protecting trans lives, that all bodies are good bodies, and support marginalized communities
  • I love traveling and watching TV
  • I hate broccoli and winter

 

Team Get Shit Done

how it started. . . .

After a bunch of failed side hustles, I (Jen) eventually picked up a camera, and hyperfocus took the wheel. I got pretty good at it, but it was never a calling for me, it was something I did. The business side, messy. So messy. Splitting time between trying to make a profit, keep learning and improving, while also being a mom of three ….it was tough.

One day, a fellow creative posted that they were needing to hire a virtual assistant, and a lightbulb went off. That’s what I am truly good atorganization, processes, and getting shit done in general. Jen Gets Shit Done was born. Hilariously, I was diagnosed with ADHD shortly after, when managing all of those details put my neurodivergent brain into a shutdown.

Over the years I started specializing more in boudoir retouching and website design.  In 2020, Jen Gets Shit Done became Team Get Shit Done, I hung up the camera for good, and haven’t looked back.

how its going. . . .

We still dabble in a lot of things, and keep our fingers in a lot of pies. While our main focus is ADHD coaching and systems support for creative entrepreneurs, we also work on interesting projects that come our way, like educational material creation, project management, template design, and boudoir retouching.

What’s most important to us is that we are doing work that we enjoy, that is aligned with our values, and that has a deep impact on our clients and their businesses. We don’t take just any project or client on, only the awesome ones. If that sounds like you, or you have a project you think we would dominate, reach out!

introducing

Jen

Owner, ADHD Coach, strategist

Jen is the leader of this stone cold pack of bosses. The team has expanded over the years to include more services with refined expertise. With 10 years as a photographer and a shockingly high number of years as an administration and organizations expert (over 15!!), she has the right stuff, baby. Her zone of genius is thinking outside the box, and making complex processes simple. She’s also quite good at creative swear words, staying up late, and collecting colorful pens. She has 3 neurodivergent teenagers, and somehow still manages to keep her head on straight.
