The Shimmer ADHD Coaching Experience from a Member: A Journey of ADHD Coaching and Personal Growth

#FindingMySpark with Shimmer: A Journey of ADHD Coaching and Personal Growth

In June of 2022, at age 40, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Since then, I’ve embarked on a journey to better understand and manage my symptoms, improve my life, and share my experiences with others. One transformative aspect of my journey has been my experience as an early adopter and beta tester of Shimmer, a digital-first ADHD coaching service. In this blog post, I’ll share that story, my experience with Shimmer, and how ADHD coaching can benefit others in a similar situation.
