Shameless Leadership 696: Amber Hawley Part 1: What ADHD Looks Like in Women
Amber Hawley is a licensed therapist and lifestyle strategist who works with entrepreneurial individuals and couples with the emotional side of business. She is the owner of a therapy practice in Silicon Valley, and the host of The Easily Distracted Entrepreneur and Couples Fix podcasts. She is also a wife, a Shameless Mom of three kids, and a Marvel movie super fan. Amber originally worked in the tech industry but her love for people led her to pursue a career where meaningful relationships are at the center of everything she does. A lot of Amber’s work is centered around neurodiversity, as she brings her experience of having ADHD, as well as parenting children with ADHD to much of what she does.
As soon as Amber and I got started in this conversation, I knew we would need more time. I wanted to make sure to dig into ADHD as it relates to women, as well as ADHD as it relates to kids. Amber was so kind to agree to turn this into a two-part conversation. In Part 1 (Episode 696), we will talk about women and ADHD. In Part 2 (Episode 697), we will talk about ADHD as it relates to kids.
Buckle up, friends. You are about to jump into the brains of two women with ADHD. We are loud & proud (and maybe a little chaotic - in the best way!) and can’t wait to share this convo with you.

- The multiple types of ADHD, and how women tend to experience ADHD
- What is a hyperfocus hangover and why rest & recovery matters so much
