If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just get it together when I know I’m smart and capable?” this episode is for you, girl.
In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Betsy sits down with Christal Wang, founder of Shimmer, to talk all things ADHD in women — late diagnosis, masking, executive function, and why nothing is actually “wrong” with you… your brain is just different, and that difference is wildly powerful.
Together, they unpack:
The real signs of ADHD in women (beyond the kid “bouncing off the walls” stereotype)
Why so many high-achieving women only realize they’re neurodivergent after motherhood or entrepreneurship
How to stop obsessing over your “weaknesses” and start building a life around your strengths
What ADHD medication actually does (think: glasses, not a magic wand)
Practical ways to design your environment, energy, and routines to work with your brain, not against it
The magic of community, coaching, and being around people who finally “get” you
This episode is dedicated to every woman who has ever felt “too much,” “too scattered,” or “not enough” — and is just starting to understand her ADHD. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are a one-of-one, and the world needs your brain exactly as it is.
Get ready to feel seen, understood, and seriously empowered to write a version of your story where your ADHD isn’t a liability… it’s your edge. 💫
