Pricing can feel like a total minefield—especially when it brings up that stomach-dropping fear of being too expensive, not good enough, or straight-up rejected. If you’ve ever felt the ick when it comes to setting your rates, you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re digging into the real reason pricing feels so loaded—and how to work with your brain (not against it) so you can price your services with more clarity and confidence.

I’m sharing 3 super practical tools to help you ground yourself, build better boundaries, and stop second-guessing your pricing every time you send a quote or invoice.

We’re talking about:

• Why pricing brings up so much fear (spoiler: it’s not just about the numbers)
• How to work with your nervous system when the doubt kicks in
• 3 practical strategies to shift your pricing mindset and feel more in control
• Why rejection isn’t always a bad thing—and what your prices are actually meant to do

Why more entrepreneurs are ditching the hustle and doing business differently — and what this quiet shift means for you.

Something’s changing — and no, it’s not just you.

There’s a quiet rebellion happening right now in the business world. It’s not loud. It’s not performative. But it’s growing — and it’s powerful.

In this episode, I’m diving into:

• Why so many business owners are resisting the pressure to go faster, harder, now
• What’s really driving this shift away from urgency and into sustainability
• How our nervous systems respond to hustle culture — and why it’s costing us more than we realise
• What building a “living business” actually looks like (and how to start doing it your way)
• Small, powerful ways you can begin your own quiet rebellion — no dramatic overhaul required

If you’ve been feeling the urge to slow down, question the noise, or do business differently… you’re not alone. And you’re not falling behind. You’re part of something bigger.

Tune in for a deep exhale and a new perspective.

Welcome to the very first episode of Business, But Different, with me, Gráinne O’Malley—business mentor, marketing strategist, and twin mama! I blend neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and practical business strategy to help entrepreneurs build businesses that actually work with them—not against them.

This episode is part intro, part invitation to do things differently. I share how my own experience of running a business while juggling life’s curveballs led me to explore a more sustainable, human-first way of working—and why this podcast is here to support you to do the same.

In this episode, you’ll take away:

• A new perspective on how your nervous system impacts your business
• Why so much of the ‘standard’ advice doesn’t work for real-life entrepreneurs
• One simple regulation tool to help you reset and re-engage when you’re stretched thin
