WELCOME TO THE
REGULATED REBELLION!
Strategic Rebellion × Regulated Clarity
Welcome to the corner of the internet where late-diagnosed neurodivergent women come to rebuild.
Not just their businesses, themselves.
This is brand therapy for women whose internal brand no longer matches their external brand—because they built everything while masking.
Here, you'll find:
→ Truth-telling about the coaching industry, hustle culture, and guru bullshit
→ Nervous system-first business strategies that actually respect your capacity
→ Permission to close loops, not perfect them
→ The psychology of building unmasked
I'm Develda Edgington, MA—Brand Therapist and former practicing therapist, late-diagnosed at 42.
Got divorced. Had a late queer awakening.
Spent 4 years rebuilding in private.
Now I'm teaching what I'm living.
No toxic positivity.
No performance.
No masking required.
Welcome home., rebel. 💜

Why You Can't Rest Your Way Out of Burnout: The Nervous System Truth
You took time off. You slept more. You did all the "self-care" things. And you still feel exhausted. Here's the uncomfortable truth: You can't rest your way out of burnout if you don't address what caused it.

You Don't Heal First, Then Become Whole. It's Backwards.
"What I know now: Wholeness isn't the end of the story. It's the beginning. The minute I gave myself permission—that's when I became whole. You don't heal first, then become whole. You become whole, and THEN you start healing."
