ADHD in Real Life: AI, Coaching & What Actually Works with Christal Wang

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad at life”… constantly overwhelmed, disorganized, or like you just can’t keep up the way other people seem to, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re talking all about adult ADHD, what it actually looks like beyond the stereotypes, why so many women are getting diagnosed later in life, and the tools that can genuinely make a difference in your day-to-day life.

We’re joined by Christal Wang, co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, a leading ADHD coaching and support platform. After being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, Christal built Shimmer to create the kind of support she wished she had, combining coaching, structure, and now AI-powered tools to help people actually follow through and feel more in control of their lives.

She’s also a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur and is redefining what ADHD care can look like beyond just medication and quick fixes.

In this episode, we get into:

• what adult ADHD really looks like (especially in women)
• why it’s often missed or diagnosed later in life
• how ADHD shows up in work, relationships, and daily routines
• the difference between knowing what to do vs. actually doing it
• tools that actually help (including coaching, AI, and body doubling)
• why most productivity advice doesn’t work for ADHD brains

Whether you have ADHD, think you might, or just feel like you’re constantly playing catch-up, this conversation will help you understand your brain-and yourself-a whole lot better.
