Why This Space Exists
For women who spent years thinking it was just them.
You knew something was different but couldn’t name it. You’ve been white-knuckling your way through life without knowing why basic things felt impossible. This is your space to stop explaining yourself and finally be understood.
Hey, I’m J’hyana!
I spent 24 years thinking something was fundamentally wrong with me.
Why couldn’t I handle grocery stores? Why did phone calls feel impossible for months at a time? Why was I constantly apologizing for existing?
At 24, I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, anxiety – the works – and I finally had language for what I had been experiencing.
What This Space Is About
Scatterbrained Sister is a safe space that centers women diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. Late diagnosis means you’re 24, 34, or 40, figuring out that the thing you thought was just you barely keeping up with the overwhelm of life, had a name.
Diagnosis can bring a wave of relief, but after so long without answers and inefficient coping mechanisms, you may have decades of shame to sort through while attempting to “get your sh*t together” for the millionth time. This space exists to provide what I didn’t have: honest conversations about late diagnosis, practical support for building a life that works, and a community that truly understands.
Who This Is For
This is for the woman who’s tried every planner, app, and system only to watch them fall apart within days, who forgets appointments they swore were next week, and who can “hyperfocus” for hours but can’t seem to start the pile of dishes.
Sound familiar?
If you’re tired of being told to “try harder” when you’ve already been trying your hardest, and your brain seems at conflict about what needs doing or when, this is where we create systems that work with your reality instead of fighting it.
