If you’ve always felt like you’re working twice as hard for half the ease…
You’re not broken.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not failing at life.
You might just be neurodivergent in a world that wasn’t built for you.
And you’re allowed to ask better questions.

🍀 ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, not a mood disorder.
🍀 It’s about regulation, not willpower.
🍀 It’s about overload, not failure.
If you’ve spent years collecting diagnoses that never quite fit…
If medication helped 'a bit' but not enough…

Yes, depression can develop because of years of burnout and self-blame.
Yes, emotional intensity is real, but that doesn’t mean bipolar - it means we're having our emotional needs ignored - we are crying out for help, but you're not hearing it.

Lastly, no, not 'Everyone feels like this sometimes'.
ADHD in women is often misdiagnosed, missed, or masked 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 we’ve spent a lifetime being told to be good, quiet, capable, and low-maintenance.
Yes, anxiety can show up alongside ADHD.

Not luck, choice.
Not magic, mojo.
Not a stroke of fortune, but our spark returning.

Your mojo may have been buried under expectations, over-committing, holding up half the sky, feeding everyone and doing all the things. It's time to drop some things off your to-do list and to put you first 🍀

Beautifully flawed, fiercely alive, defiantly growing when and where it shouldn't. The four-leaf clover is a symbol of nature going wrong, but thriving anyway.
It's not a symbol of chance, but a reminder that you can always come home to yourself.

Each leaf represents what we find in this sisterhood:
* Strength
* Softness
* Rebellion
* Reawakening

The Defiant Daughters' clover is rare, imperfect, wonky, but still found in nature - just like us.
