The on-boarding workflow felt sycophantic and pandering. When you ask me to express my vulnerabilities and respond with statements like:

> You're in the right place! 41% of Shimmer members rated 5 for the impact ADHD has on their lives, just like you. Shimmer is the newest way to work with your ADHD: You'll build skills and implement systems that are catered to YOUR life.

or

> Thank you for sharing. Shimmer members work on similar challenges and 86% have improved within 3 months.

it evokes an image in my mind of a guy holding open a trench coat saying "I got what you need."

At the same time, as someone who has spent a lot of time developing insight into the spectrum of disorders around emotional and internal regulation trying to understand my own life and mind, the workflow was helpful. It showed me that I'm not the target audience for your product. That's OK though, different strokes for different folks.

Best of luck and I hope you're able to support people and do good in the world. :+1:
