Questions
Answers to the things people most often wonder about before — and after — they start. If something isn't covered here, you're welcome to reach out.
About this space
It's a private guided journaling space for women navigating neurodivergence — late-diagnosed, self-identifying, still questioning, or finding their life significantly shaped by ADHD, autism, or AuDHD. You write, and an AI offers a gentle, thoughtful reflection in return.
The goal is to help you move from "I finally understand why this happened" to having one small, realistic thing you can try. Not prescriptive. Not overwhelming. Just a quiet place to process and find your footing.
No. Self-diagnosis is valid. If you're recognising yourself in descriptions of autism, ADHD, or AuDHD — formally assessed, self-identifying, or still untangling what fits — you belong here.
This space does not require proof of diagnosis and will never ask for one.
No. This is a reflection and journaling space — not therapy, counselling, or a substitute for professional mental health support. The AI does not diagnose, treat, or offer clinical advice.
If you're in crisis or need more structured support, please reach out to a mental health professional or crisis service in your area. This space is not equipped to respond to emergencies.
Women and mothers navigating neurodivergence — whether recently diagnosed, self-identifying, still questioning, or finding that ADHD, autism, or AuDHD is significantly shaping their life, their family, or their sense of self.
It's built from lived experience, not from the outside looking in. The language, tone, and framework are designed around how a late-diagnosed, self-identifying, or still-untangling woman actually experiences this — not how it looks in a clinical textbook.
The AI reflection
When you submit a journal entry, your text is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI, which generates a response built around a five-part framework: noticing what you've shared, gently reflecting possible patterns, compassionate reframing, and — only when your writing suggests a specific practical struggle — one small, low-pressure suggestion.
You can then respond to the reflection and continue the conversation, or simply close and move on. There's no right way to use it.
Nobody. Your entries are not read by any human. When you submit an entry, the text is sent to Anthropic's API to generate your reflection — this is an automated process. Anthropic processes it on our behalf and does not store your entry or use it to train their models, under their current API data policy.
Outside of that processing step, your entries live in your private account and are visible only to you.
That's completely fine. You can tell it — just write back and say the reflection didn't land, or explain what felt off. It will adjust. You can also simply close the entry and move on without engaging with the reflection at all.
The AI is a starting point, not an authority. You know your experience better than any model does.
By design. Practical suggestions are only offered when your writing points to a specific, concrete struggle — not just processing, reflecting, or exploring. If you're writing to untangle your thoughts, the last thing you need is an unsolicited action item.
When a suggestion does appear, it's kept to one thing, kept brief, and framed as something to consider — not something you should do.
Privacy & your data
Yes. Your journal entries are stored in your private account, protected by row-level security — meaning only your account can access them. They are not visible to us, not shared with third parties, and not used for any purpose other than displaying them back to you.
The only time your entry leaves your account is when it's sent to Anthropic's API to generate your reflection. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. Your journal is always yours. Go to Account settings and use the "Download your journal" option to save a copy of everything you've written — your entries, reflections, and any follow-up conversations.
The download is a readable file that opens in any browser. You can print it, save it, or keep it anywhere you'd like. No waiting, no request needed — it's available any time. There are no barriers to taking your writing with you.
Yes, at any time. Go to Account settings and scroll to the Delete Account section. You'll be asked to type DELETE to confirm — once done, your account and all entries are permanently removed. This cannot be undone, so we recommend downloading your data first if you want to keep a copy.
Your account
Go to Account settings. You can update your email address and password there. Changing your email will send a confirmation link to your new address before the change takes effect. Changing your password requires you to enter your current password first.
On the sign in page, use the "Forgot password" link. We'll send a reset link to your email address. If it doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder.
The username is for the community feature that's currently being built. When the community space opens, you'll be able to participate using a chosen name rather than your email address. Setting it now means you're ready when it launches.
Usernames are between 3 and 20 characters and can contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
What's coming
A growing collection of gentle, practical resources covering things like sensory overwhelm, nervous-system regulation, rest, identity, unmasking, burnout, and motherhood — all written in the same tone as this space.
A small curated selection of free resources is available to everyone. The full library is included in Gentle Membership. It's being built carefully rather than quickly — new resources are added regularly, and everything is designed to meet you where you actually are.
Yes — it's planned and being built. The community will be a space for neurodivergent women and mothers to connect, share what works, and feel less alone in this. It's not open yet, but the foundations are being laid. Setting a username in your account means you'll be ready when it does.
Yes — Gentle Membership is available now. It's $8 a month, or $80 a year (two months free). It includes unlimited journaling, the complete resource library, and full community access when that opens.
The free plan remains a genuinely supportive place to begin — 10 reflections a month, access to selected free resources, and your full journal history, always. No pressure to upgrade, ever.
