Why
I Stayed Flat ...
Because I followed by body's wisdom. I followed my intuition. Because I didn’t lose my femininity—I redefined it. Because I didn’t need reconstruction to feel whole. Because my body is not a problem to be solved. Because staying flat felt like truth, not defiance.
After my bilateral mastectomy, I chose not to reconstruct. No prosthesis. No padding. No apologies. I chose to stay flat and stand tall—not as a rejection of beauty, but as a radical embrace of my own. It was the most Elegant Rebel® decision I could make.
This wasn’t about being brave. It was about being honest. About listening to my body’s wisdom. About rewriting the story society hands us—one that says we must fix, hide, or conform.
I stayed flat because I wanted to celebrate my youness. To show other women—especially neurodivergent, HSP, and soul-led rebels—that there is no one way to be radiant. No one shape that defines worth. No one path to reclaiming power.
unmask your magic
Late Diagnosis,
Lifelong Knowing
Clinically verified AuDHD, 2023. Aged 53. Finally seen.
I always knew I was different. Too much. Too curious. Too sensitive. Too strategic. Too everything. Turns out, I was also neurodivergent—AuDHD to be exact.
In 2023, at 53, I received clinical confirmation of what my soul had always known. It wasn’t a label. It was a liberation. A reclamation of every moment I masked, moulded or misunderstood myself.
This diagnosis didn’t change me—it clarified me.
It gave language to my lived experience. It validated the way I process, create, connect, and rebel.
Now, I share ND-friendly, soulful mentoring. I honour the way our brains dance—strategic, intuitive, nonlinear, brilliant.
Being AuDHD is part of my magic.
It’s why I can weave sass with soul, clarity with chaos, and processes that actually work.
My late diagnosis isn’t a footnote—it’s a soul spark. It’s why Elegant Rebel® exists.
Now it's your turn
Are you ready to elegantly rebel, ditch normal, take up space, allow yourself to feel joy, celebrate everything uniquely you and flourish?
