In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, we get into why ADHD in women so often goes missed, with Shelpful founder Sharon Pope.
If you have ever judged yourself for forgetting to drink water, take a walk, or finish a single task for yourself while keeping everyone else's life running, this conversation was made for you.
Sharon Pope is the founder of Shelpful, an AI powered accountability app built for ADHD and overwhelmed brains. She built the first version of the product after hitting her own rock bottom three months postpartum, and was later diagnosed with ADHD herself after her own app's users pointed it out, following years of being dismissed by two different doctors. Sharon and her team put together an exclusive offer for this community at shelpful.com/vibewithky, including one free month on top of the standard two week trial and fifteen dollars off Shelpful Smart Tags.
Ky and Sharon talk through how Shelpful actually works, why generic advice like just get a planner fails ADHD brains, and why dropping the small self care stuff is executive dysfunction, not a character flaw. They also get into building an online community, the highs and lows of content creation, and what it means to stop shaming yourself for the small stuff.
By the end of this episode, you will understand why proactive accountability works better than rigid systems for ADHD brains.
- You will learn why traditional advice like just set an alarm fails people with ADHD.
- You will understand why self care is usually the first thing to drop when life gets demanding.
- You will hear what it actually took for Sharon to get diagnosed after years of being dismissed.
- You will walk away with a new way to think about small daily struggles as resourcefulness, not failure.
