Welcome to the inaugural entry of our Feminine Force Marketing journal. I’m Develda Edgington, MA, known to many of you as Dee, the Autistic Therapist. I’m thrilled to have you join our community where we celebrate and harness the unique strengths of neurodivergent women. Whether you're navigating the complexities of autism, ADHD, or any other neurodiverse condition, our goal is to provide you with tools, insights, and inspiration to thrive both personally and professionally.

At Feminine Force Marketing, we believe that neurodiversity is a superpower. It’s not just an aspect of who you are—it’s a driving force for innovation, creativity, and success. My journey as a high-masking autistic woman has shown me the power of embracing my true self, and I’m here to help you do the same. Together, we can turn your unique traits into strengths that set you apart in your entrepreneurial journey.

For many years, I dedicated myself to the field of mental health, helping countless individuals navigate their emotional and psychological landscapes. However, life has a way of steering us in unexpected directions. I transitioned from a mental health professional to a psychology-based brand and messaging strategist, eventually evolving into a brand therapist. This shift allowed me to merge my expertise in psychology with my passion for branding, helping entrepreneurs craft authentic, impactful messages.

But here's the twist: After a late-in-life diagnosis of ADHD and ASD, I embarked on a deeply personal journey of unmasking and living authentically. This revelation changed everything. It brought me back to my first love—mental health work. Understanding my neurodiversity not only altered my path but also enriched my approach to both branding and therapy.

Now, I’m combining these worlds in a way I never imagined. Feminine Force Marketing is not just about building brands; it’s about healing, understanding, and embracing the full spectrum of who we are. I’m here to guide you through this journey, sharing insights from both mental health and branding perspectives to help you thrive as a neurodivergent woman.

In this journal, you’ll find a wealth of resources and insights tailored specifically for neurodivergent women. Here’s a sneak peek into some of the exciting topics we’ll be covering in future updates:
