Summary
Episode 191 with Christal Wang.
“Everyone shimmers differently. It’s all about figuring out what is the unabashed, unapologetic, sparkling version of you.”
Christal is the co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, the first-ever comprehensive behavioral tech platform for adults with ADHD. Chris started Shimmer after she was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and she is now on a mission to create a more neuro-inclusive world for all neurodivergent individuals.
Chris is a recognized Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur with a strong belief in using business as a force for good. As a queer neurodivergent AAPI woman, she is deeply invested in advocating for and supporting these communities.
Christal shares how her Asian upbringing and cultural stigma around mental health diagnoses initially delayed her ADHD diagnosis. She also talks about the challenges she faced in finding affordable, culturally competent ADHD care and coaching, which inspired her to create Shimmer.
We also talk about the unique strengths of ADHD entrepreneurs, including drive and a desire to challenge the status quo, and we chat all about the amazing resources and support that are offered at Shimmer, including personalized 1:1 video coaching, productivity tools, and learning modules.

| 1:26.5 | with ADHD at the age of 45, and it completely |
| 1:30.1 | turned my world upside down. I've been looking back at so much of my life, school, jobs, my |
| 1:37.2 | relationships, all of it with this new lens, and it has been nothing short of overwhelming. I quickly |
| 1:42.9 | discovered I was not the only woman to have |
| 1:45.0 | this experience, and now I interview other women who, like me, discovered in adulthood they have |
| 1:50.2 | ADHD and are finally feeling like they understand who they are and how to best lean into |
