Brittany Hobbs, founder of Women6x
At 38, I finally got a name for what I’d been managing—and hiding—my entire life: ADHD.
It was relief and grief all at once. Relief because suddenly the exhaustion made sense. The masking. The feeling of always being one step behind—even while delivering work that looked effortless from the outside. Grief because I’d spent decades fighting against myself instead of working with who I actually was.
Then I hit 41, and perimenopause rewired everything overnight. My focus scattered. My energy tanked. The systems that carried me through two decades of high-stakes work couldn’t keep up with hormonal chaos.
I did what I do best: I researched. I synthesized medical studies the way I used to synthesize consumer insights for Spotify and Microsoft. I tested frameworks the way I’d prototype products for Fortune 500 brands. I built a system—not to fix women like us, but to help us work with our biology instead of against it.
The deeper I went into the medical literature, the more convinced I became: we can live long, healthy, fulfilling lives. I’ve watched people I love leave too soon—when different choices in nutrition, fitness, and recovery might have changed that story.
I have two daughters. I refuse to let them inherit the shame I carried—or the silence. My older daughter undeniably has ADHD. I see my younger self in her—brilliant, creative, struggling. And I see all the ways I wish I’d been supported. The frameworks I needed. The nutrition guidance. The understanding that could have helped me thrive instead of just survive. She deserves better than I had. They both do.
I’m not here to hide anymore. And neither should you. Women like us don’t need to be fixed. We need systems that work for how we’re built—ADHD, hormones, and all. That’s what Women6x is: your framework to go from hiding to exceptional.
