You'll do a deep dive into what ADHD culture is, all while surrounded by our community.


August 18-29.
Included with your Shimmer membership.

Growth /ɡrōTH/ (noun):
Permission to stop trying to be someone else. What happens when self-acceptance becomes the foundation for every other change you want to make. Often, it means better awareness of masking, unrealistic expectations, or external pressures, so that authentic strengths can emerge. Sometimes, it is subtraction instead of addition, and acceptance instead of change, especially within environments that value and support who you truly are.
