I'm joined by Chris Wang—co-founder and CEO of Shimmer and creator of the Indie ADHD support app—to explore the fast-moving world of AI and what it actually means for ADHD brains. We get real about the tension so many of us feel: can technology truly support executive function, decision-making, and organization, or is it just adding more overwhelm?Chris shares how her late ADHD diagnosis completely shifted her perspective on productivity, and we dig into how to navigate tools, goals, and AI in a way that actually works for your brain. If you've ever felt stuck in analysis paralysis with too many options—or unsure how to use AI without spiraling—this conversation will help you simplify, refocus, and move forward with more intention. Episode Highlights[00:20] - Why AI feels both exciting and overwhelming for ADHD brains[01:51] - Chris's late ADHD diagnosis and how it reshaped her view of productivity[04:14] - The real reason technology can increase overwhelm (and how to avoid it)[05:56] - “Start with the end in mind” and why direction matters more than perfection[07:31] - Odyssey planning: designing multiple futures instead of one rigid path[10:23] - Letting go of all-or-nothing thinking and embracing flexible goals[13:43] - Where AI actually helps ADHD (and where it adds noise)[15:14] - Why “done is better than perfect” when choosing productivity tools[19:20] - How Indie helps you prioritize what actually matters[22:47] - Energy accounting: managing tasks based on your mental bandwidth[24:10] - Guardrails to prevent AI from becoming a hyperfocus trap[26:15] - When AI supports growth vs. when it replaces critical thinking[30:21] - The future of ADHD + AI: leveling the playing field[35:43] - The one mindset shift to reduce overwhelm with tech and toolsLinks & ResourcesChris Wang is the co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, the leading coaching platform for teens and adults with ADHD, which has supported over 80,000 coaching sessions to date.

Shimmer: The Polka-Dot Zebra by Taraleigh SkywalkerRapha https://www.amazon.com/Shimmer-Polka-Dot-Zebra-Taraleigh-SkywalkerRapha-ebook/dp/B0F2VSS7SC Based on a true-life event, a polka-dot zebra was born in 2019 on the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Polka-dots being born into a world of stripes–an oddity that has never been seen before. Shimmer is about a zebra that doesn’t even know if she is a real zebra if she doesn’t have stripes like everyone else. She doesn’t fit in and is teased and bullied mercilessly until she eventually forgets her own name. One day a group of bullies push her off a cliff into a muddy bog, where she becomes stuck and comes face-to-face with Blamey, a gigantic crocodile. Blamey refuses to eat Shimmer because she “doesn’t have stripes,” which causes Shimmer to burst into tears that she is not even good enough to be eaten. Blamey, with the help of his flamingo and firefly friends, teaches Shimmer what she is really made of and what really counts. What was seemingly the worst day of Shimmer’s life transforms her. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. You are a star plucked from the heavens and wrapped in a mud suit. Your inner spirit star was created perfectly. The real you is not mud. You are pure light. Shine.

We are thrilled to welcome back to the show a powerhouse of talent who has voiced iconic heroes and brought beloved characters to life for over two decades.

He's taking us on a nostalgic trip through the cartoons of our youth, pondering why these animated Transformers, Smurfs, Wuzzles and Disney Channel classics mean so much to us even years later.

Join me as I review The Dragon Isles by Stephen D. Sullivan live! Share your thoughts on this fourth novel in the Dragonlance Crossroads series, released by Wizards of the Coast on December 1, 2002. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/4k9Vsow https://youtube.com/live/G7_6TTEypEQ About The Dragon Isles The Dragon Isles: abandoned home of the good dragons, land of amazing adventure and legendary treasure. The trouble is, no one knows how to get there. Now Mikal Vardan and his crew have found the hidden route, but they're not the only ones interested in the isles. A beautiful sea elf scavenger thinks the wealth of a lost civilization might be worth killing for, and a menacing sea dragon is determined to bring a reign of terror to the peaceful archipelago. Review Part one of this novel deals with Lady Karista Meinor and her bodyguard Bok hiring a ship to take them to the Dragon Isles where they want to open a trade route. They are using an old poem that is thought to be a prophecy about how to find the mysterious dragon isles. The novel opens with the ship’s captain, Mikal Verdan rescuing one of his sailors, a kender named Tripleknot Shellcracker from a sea monster. THey narrowly escape and are pulled on deck just in time for the crew to near mutiny. THey have not been informed about the point of this excursion and they have been sailing the northern Courrain ocean for longer than anticipated with no end in sight. They are told they are headed to the Dragon Isles where everyone will get their share of the spoils, and this pacifies them. Then they see floating wreckage which the kender claims has someone on top. It takes a while to intercept but there is a Dargonesti elf chained and unconscious on the wreckage. They bring her aboard and nurse her. It is revealed that she was believed to be cursed by her former shipmates and left to die, because there is a sea dragon named Tempest trying to enter the Dragon Isles with her dragonspawn Mog. If they can’t get through the veil which protects the isles, no one will. She has been attacking all ships that dare to get near. It is also revealed that the captain, Mik, is having visions of treasure and the dargonesti named Ula, is willing to help him locate the isles and treasure for a percentage. He agrees, but Karista doesn’t. Then Tempest attacks. She capsizes the ship and kills most of the crew. Mik and Trip use the failing magical items to breathe under water but are captured by other Dargonesti and brought to their underwater town. There they will be sold off into slavery or fight. However, Tempest and Mog followed. Once imprisoned they see that Ula and Karista were there and the only other survivors. Then Tempest attacks. They escape together with the help of one of the elves that captured them named Shimmer. He leads them to the Veil and with the aid of a black gem Mik has, they all pass through. Mog follows and narrowly passes through as well. Though Tempest is left on the other side still. Tempest charges at the barrier using all her might and magic and is repelled again and again. She must be content that her spawn is on the other side, following the mortals, waiting to spring a trap and drop the veil once and for all. On the other side, the party comes ashore and is seen by a massive dragon, then a ship rolls up under order of the Brass taking them captive. Ula demands honor by combat rather than them being taken to their lord, and she fights Misa Kell, defeating her. Her brother is furious but honors the bargain. Ula is to take them to the dargonesti kingdom, but Benthor Kell, Misa's brother, holds to the law of shipping the kender to an island where they all dwell. Karista Meinor decides to stay with Kell to have the Order of the Brass negotiate shipping routes with her. The kender is tied up in a cabin, and Ula, Mik and Shimmer are dropped into a boat and leave to the dargonesti home. Once they arrive they see some of the people from the ruined sea elf town outside the veil, and they make their pleas to the lord of this realm. He allows them freedom and Ula, mik and shimmer decide to look for the next key to their treasure by visiting the sea sage. When they arrive it ends up attacking them and they temporarily defeat it, taking its key. Next they head to the gold dragons libraries. There Ula stays at the ship while shimmer and Mik head up, only to be stopped by a copper dragon guard who knows shimmer and lets them pass. Back on Kell's boat, Trip escapes and jumps overboard, swimming from the pursuing ship. He hides in a cave and finds a secret entrance to a pirates hide where he takes a sea dragon cloak that allows him free movement and breathing underwater. He escapes his pursuers and gets passage from the pirate Jerrick the Red, an old acquaintance of Miki's. Very convenient. He takes the kender to the same island as his companions, conveniently, and meets Ula there. Mik and shimmer enter the library and mik climbs to the peak and has a vision of the island chain being formed and populated, then gets the next key piece. They come to shore to see Ula, Trip and Jerrick where they bargain for his ship to take them to the final key location. Kell meets with the order of the Bronze and is told to stop Ula and shimmer, retrieving the treasure themselves as payment for the future shipping agreement with Karista. They pursue Jerrick’s ship and their dragon emissary abducts Ula. Shimmer transforms into a bronze dragon, his true form, and attacks the bronze holding Ula. He recovers her as krell seizes control of Jerricks ship with his own. Shimmer crashed on deck with Ula and both sides nearly come to blows when Jerrick speaks up, on working together to split t he treasure. The interjection actually works and they all get together to find the last piece ofthe key. They find the location and dive under the water, locating the temple where they find the key, but Mog is waiting and attacks a guard, changing into his appearance. He joins the crew and as Mik assembles the key with thenew piece, a stairway appears and ascends into the sky. They begin to go up and swarms of crabs attack, then Karista steals the key from Mik and reveals she is working for Tempest, this stuns Mog and they both race to the temple fighting the heroes all the way. Tempest breaks through the barrier when the group arrives at the temple and the now fully assembled key is a lightning weapon that is turned against the heroes. Factions are blurred and everyone seems to survive incredible wounds but the fight is truly epic. Karista is defeated and the heroes reclaim the key only to have tempest arrive and fight them, killing many people, including Karista, and the all scatter trying to defeat the sea dragon. Eventually Mik faces off against it and it plumets into a volcano, which then erupts and the key seems to offer Mik treasure at the sacrifice of the Dragon Isles. He refuses and throws the key into the volcano as well. The temple of the sky begins to fade and he leaps in to the ocean, sure to drown. He is saved by Ula and they return to the ship, when Trip arrives with a miraculously still alive Shimmer. They all decide to continue searching for treasure in the Dragon Isles together and the novel ends abruptly. There were so many moments where characters should have died over and over again, but I forgive it for the epic scope of that final battle. The author isn't great, but I did find myself enjoying this novel more than I anticipated, even if the story itself was seemingly rushed. I also think it was more epic than the Dawning of a New Age final novel, which while not saying a lot since it want good, does say that this one novel was superior to a trilogy. If you are a fan of the Dragon Isles, and water based adventures, this is a must read. For fans of Dragonlance, it is fun, but not required reading.

Annie was unable to join us, but Christian and I had a nice conversation about his experience and interpretation of Erick Godsey's "The Shimmer" and his Mentally Fit program. Christian has been inspired to build a community around the ideas he learned and shared a little bit about that with us this week. Listen to this week's podcast and then be on the lookout for part 2, which will include Annie. At that point, we get to hear both of their experiences and how this new knowledge and understanding are changing and improving their lives.

It's hard to believe we're already into 2026. If last year felt fast, this year is moving even quicker. As we settle into the rhythm of a new year, I found myself looking back at some of the most impactful conversations we've had on the show—specifically those that help us navigate the "new year pressure" without the burnout. That's why today, we're revisiting a fan-favorite conversation from the archives with Chris Wang, CEO and co-founder of Shimmer. Even though this originally aired at the start of 2025, the strategies Chris shares are more relevant than ever. We dive deep into: Process-oriented goal setting (focusing on the "how" rather than just the "what"). The power of community in maintaining momentum. Living in alignment with your core values to avoid "productivity for productivity's sake." Chris brings a wealth of actionable advice to the table. Whether you're currently looking into ADHD coaching or you're just trying to figure out how to make your plans stick for the rest of 2026, this episode is packed with gems. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/207 This Episode's Top Tips Work on setting process-oriented goals where your focus is on the actions you can control, like "exercise 3 times a week," rather than outcome-based goals like "lose 10 pounds." Make sure you are specific and write your to-do lists with clear, actionable steps to avoid overwhelm and decision paralysis. You want to know exactly what your next step is when looking at your to-do list. Leverage your support systems. You can use community and coaching to provide accountability, remove roadblocks, and refine your systems. Remember there is no gold star for toughing it out by yourself and it's okay to get help.

You can't do two things at once.That simple, scientific fact is the target of our third discussion about the forces of modern distraction. In this episode, we expose the Third Face of Mara: Multi-Tasking.We dismantle the costly myth that we can split our focus. The truth? We're not multi-tasking; we're frantically task-switching—and it's making us slower, more error-prone, and shockingly unaware of our own impairment. We'll explore the devastating "switch cost" and how it resets our brain's ability to achieve deep focus.Then, we examine how "The Shimmer"—the glow of our screens—has weaponized this weakness, rewiring our brains for shallow skimming, harming our memory, and fracturing our attention.But there is an antidote. Drawing on the work of Cal Newport—Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, Slow Productivity—and the Buddhist concept of "contraction training," there are practical things that can be done to reclaim your focus. Learn how to move from frantic fragmentation to purposeful depth and how slaying this particular face of Mara also quiets the forces of mindlessness and mind-wandering.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult can feel like both a relief and a reckoning. Suddenly your past makes so much more sense… but now you’re faced with learning a whole new way of managing your brain, your time, your relationships and your self-worth. In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Wang, founder and CEO of Shimmer, who was diagnosed with ADHD at 28. Together we unpack what ADHD really looks like in your twenties, including: The three ADHD subtypes and why women are so often missed How late diagnosis can completely rewrite your identity (in a good way) Why traditional productivity advice often fails ADHD brains The role of urgency, novelty and accountability What actually is rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)? What ADHD–ADHD relationships can look like vs ADHD–neurotypical dynamics? If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I just suck at being an adult, or is my brain wired differently?”, this episode is for you.

This week, I am back to the Shimmer discussing our untrained minds and attentional systems. Untrained minds are one of our most significant sources of suffering. Understanding that and how our attentional systems work is critical to living and thriving in the digital age.
I am taking a break from the deep dive into the internet, the Shimmer, and deep work to briefly talk about an idea from a book I am reading - for the second time in the last couple of months. Ahimsa, or nonviolence, has within its precepts the idea of feeling powerless in our lives. Often, this feeling of powerlessness translates to violence against oneself and violence against others.

This week is another episode about Erick Godsey's The Shimmer. It's a review of his ideas to build a foundation for exploring different concepts from his Shimmer metaphor.
Psalm 27:6-10, Music: "With Grace" by Shimmer, licensed by Soundstripe.
Erick Godsey uses the term "The Shimmer" as a metaphor to describe the modern internet and its effects on our minds. In this podcast, I'll talk about where this reference comes from and how Godsey relates it to the internet and our digital lives. There are four key qualities of The Shimmer, which are present in both the movie "Annihilation" and in the internet world. Using Erick Godsey's framework, I'll explain what these qualities mean for us and what we can do to navigate the internet landscape.

Hey Team! Today I'm joined by Alex Bellitter, Senior Manager of Coaching at Shimmer, an ADHD coaching platform that's guided over 75,000 sessions. If this sounds a bit familiar, I also did an interview with Shimmer's CEO, Chris Wang, last year - but of course in this episode, we're covering a lot more and while Shimmer is mentioned it certainly isn't the focus of what we're talking about here. But back to who we're talking with today. Alex holds a Master's in Psychology and is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. She's passionate about building a neuroinclusive approach to coaching and helping people redefine what success looks like for their unique brains. We get into what burnout really looks like for ADHD brains and how the “grind it out” mindset backfires every time. Alex shares how resilience isn't about powering through and we also unpack the ideas of capacity, how we burn through future energy, and why rest, play, and flexibility are actually key parts of productivity. Plus, we get into ADHD inertia, smart scaffolding, and that tricky process of rediscovering your strengths when your brain insists you don't have any.

But leaving unscheduled blocks gives us breathing room and time for the unexpected. This means it's important that we're making sure keep at least some white space on our calendars. We can fall into the trap of treating rest like a reward for finishing everything, but rest is part of the system that keeps us going. Taking time to rest isn't laziness; it's maintenance that we sorely need. External structure, such as reminders, alarms, notes, and accountability partners, can often help ADHD brains thrive, but a lot of us carry shame around using these supports. We're not “cheating” the system by building one that works for us. These scaffoldings allow us to grow stronger over time without collapsing under pressure by giving us the support we need.
