Bio

To the traditional school system, I was the girl with the messy desk, a student with low potential who couldn't keep up. In reality, my mind was a place of constant motion and vivid daydreams. That misunderstanding peaked when a teacher emptied my desk in front of the entire class, scattering my “failures” across the floor for everyone to see.

I nearly didn’t walk at graduation because my grades were a reflection of a system that didn't understand me. For years, I navigated a world that dismissed my messy desk and daydreaming as major life flaws rather than signs of a mind in motion. My senior year diagnosis was the turning point where the fog finally lifted. It allowed me to reframe my ADHD as a unique lens through which I experienced the world, rather than something broken that needed fixing. That moment gave me the clarity to stop seeing my brain as a deficit and start seeing it for what it truly is: a different, powerful way of moving through the world.

Why Overworked Minds?

Because for a long time, having a mind in constant motion felt like a burden. Growing up, I was "the girl with the messy desk”, a student who didn't fit the system and whose potential was often overlooked. That feeling of inadequacy followed me into adulthood, leading me to spend a decade masking my ADHD in the corporate world, treating it as a secret to be concealed rather than a trait to be understood.

Everything changed when I stopped trying to fit into a system that wasn’t built for me. I realized that my "overworked" mind wasn't a deficit; it was a creative engine. When the positives finally clicked, the shame vanished, and I began to see my differently wired brain as a superpower.

I created Overworked Minds to honor the dreamers, the internal thinkers, and the neurodivergent community. This brand is a tribute to those who have navigated the fog of anxiety and the pressure to conform. We believe that we are capable of incredible things, not despite our unique wiring, but because of it.

Today, I wear the ADHD label as a badge of honor, and I invite you to do the same. Life doesn’t start at someone else’s finish line; it begins the moment you finally embrace exactly how you are wired. Welcome to a brand for the dreamers of this world. Because an overworked mind is simply one that’s busy creating something extraordinary.
