Ep. 1 - That Time I Found Out My "Followers" Were Real

Jen Friel can read a stranger in seconds. She always thought it was intuition — until the strangers started showing up everywhere. Watching. Rotating. Following a pattern only she could see. For years, no one believed her. Friends were confused. The police couldn't help. But Jen documented everything and refused to give up. When a single piece of surveillance footage finally proved what was happening, the truth was far more disturbing than she ever imagined — a co-founder arrested for attempted murder, extortion, and kidnapping. But the biggest revelation wasn't about the people following her. It was about herself. This is the unbelievably true story of Talk Nerdy to Me founder Jen Friel, told in her own words for the first time. A story about stalking, survival, pattern recognition, and the life-changing diagnosis that answered the question she had been asking her entire life: why am I so different?   Learn more about Jen and read the original blog posts for Talk Nerdy to Me   Contact Jen for interviews.   © 2026 Jen Friel - All rights reserved.
