Late-Diagnosis, Early Burnout: Why So Many ND Women Hit the Wall in Business
Burnout isn’t failure—it’s feedback. Here’s why late-diagnosed ND women crash so hard in business, and how to rebuild with systems that finally fit your brain.


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. 💜
