🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 213 | Mind Your Business | Intuition

Is Intuition or Fear Running Your Business?

Is intuition guiding your business decisions, or is fear quietly running the show?

In Weekly MindSweep No. 213: Mind Your Business | Intuition, we explore a question many creative, heart-centered ADHD entrepreneurs wrestle with: how do you tell the difference between true intuition and hesitation driven by fear?

So often, we delay sharing an offer because it doesn’t feel “ready.” We call it intuition. But sometimes, what we’re really waiting for is certainty, and certainty is something business rarely offers upfront.

In Weekly MindSweep No. 213, Jamie unpacks:

Why hesitation can masquerade as intuition.

How fear uses waiting as a form of protection.

The difference between impulse, intuition, and override.

Why action is often the missing ingredient for clarity.

How lived experience helps rewire fear in the nervous system.

This isn’t about pushing harder or ignoring your inner wisdom. It’s about learning when intuition is asking you to pause, and when it’s inviting you to take a thoughtful step forward.

If you’re holding an offer, idea, or decision and feeling stuck, tune in to this episode to uncover what’s really driving your pause, and gain practical steps for moving forward.

Listen in and mind your business, wisely.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 212 | Curated Conversation | Intuition

When Your Intuition Speaks, What Do You Do With It?

We talk about intuition as something we should follow. But what happens when what feels like intuition is actually conditioning, fear, or a familiar story dressed up as logic?

In this episode, I talk about a quiet but powerful moment that many creative entrepreneurs with ADHD will recognize. It’s that moment when you let a boundary slip, even though you know it should stay firm. It’s when your body hesitates, but your mind comes up with a convincing reason to say yes.

This isn’t about always trusting your gut. It’s about learning how to tell the difference between urgency and intuition, between a real signal and an old story, between true guidance and habit.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Why intuition often appears as a subtle feeling in your body before you can put it into words

How fear and old patterns can sound logical and convincing

Why it’s more important to be discerning than just to follow instructions

What it looks like to slow down instead of forcing clarity

This February, we’re focusing on staying with those signals long enough to really understand them. This episode is the starting point.

Listen in, and notice what your body already knows.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 211 | What’s On My Mind | Value

This month, we didn’t just talk about value—we lived inside it.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what changed when value stopped being a concept and became a daily practice. How it shows up in how we spend our time, energy, and attention. How we buy as consumers. How we price and position ourselves as creative entrepreneurs. And how often we make decisions based on assumptions instead of facts.

You’ll hear what emerged from a full month of focused conversation inside Curated Conversation: The Evolution—where we looked honestly at numbers, questioned what we give away for free, and replaced fear-based math with clarity and truth.

This isn’t about hacks, hustle, or chasing market rules. It’s about alignment. About valuing yourself in practical, measurable ways so your work can be sustainable—not just meaningful.

If you’ve been wondering what we’ve been unpacking inside Curated Conversation, or you’re ready to stop guessing your worth and start knowing it, this episode brings the month to a thoughtful close.

Listen in.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 210 | Manage Your Mind | Value

“Not Worth It” Is a Brain Story

I spent six weeks fully focused on an idea. When I launched it, only three people said yes. Right away, my mind told me it wasn’t worth it.

In this episode, we look at how the brain decides what is valuable, why creative and ADHD entrepreneurs often feel delay and disappointment more strongly, and how a single small result can change how we see our own worth. This isn’t about working harder or just thinking positive. Instead, it’s about understanding the science behind value, learning to notice early market signals without losing yourself, and training your mind to stick with the right work long enough to see real results.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 209 | Mind Your Business | Value

The rooms you spend time in shape more than your thinking—they shape how you price, how you show up, and whether your business is sustainable.

In this episode of the Weekly MindSweep, Jamie explores how many creative, heart-centered entrepreneurs learn to undervalue their work without realizing it. Through lived experience and honest conversations with business owners, she unpacks how pricing often becomes a nervous-system response rooted in fear, scarcity, and misalignment rather than fact.

This episode invites you to look honestly at the rooms you’re in, the numbers you’ve been avoiding, and what it truly costs you—beyond hours—to do your work. If you’re ready to move from accessibility to sustainability, from overgiving to alignment, and from explaining your value to standing on it, listen in

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 208 | Curated Conversation | Value

This episode marks four years of Weekly MindSweep, and with it, an important reckoning.

In this conversation, we explore value not as a pricing strategy or branding exercise, but as something our brains learn. How fear, comparison, money stories, and nervous-system safety shape the way creative entrepreneurs price their work—and how, over time, we may have taught the market to undervalue what we offer.

You’ll hear why:

Value isn’t objective—it’s learned

Pricing often reflects fear more than facts

Avoiding numbers is a form of protection, not failure

And how making numbers neutral can change how you lead, decide, and sustain your work

This episode is an invitation to slow down, separate worth from numbers, and begin re-choosing value with clarity.

If you’re a creative or ADHD entrepreneur navigating pricing, self-trust, or the quiet tension between accessibility and sustainability, this conversation is for you.

Listen in. Reflect. And join us as we begin changing the lesson; together.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 207 | Curator’s Perspective | Belonging

Belonging, Without Translation. This Is What Safe Feels Like

“This is the first room where I don’t have to translate myself.”

In this episode of Weekly MindSweep, Jamie looks at the neuroscience of belonging and explains why it’s not just a feel-good idea for entrepreneurs, but a real source of stability for both the mind and the business.

Entrepreneurship can feel lonely, especially for creative, ADHD, and neurodivergent founders who have spent years masking, bracing, or trying to fit into systems that don’t suit them. When people feel safe, seen, and understood, their nervous systems relax. This makes clarity, creativity, and steady growth possible.

In this episode, we explore:

Why belonging is a hard-wired human need

How social safety affects decision-making and resilience

What happens when community is designed for how brains actually work

Why you don’t earn belonging through productivity or performance

This conversation is about building businesses and communities where you can belong without having to change who you are.

Grab your coffee, press play, and start your week feeling more grounded.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 206 | What’s On Mind | Belonging

Your Brain Is Tired of Auditioning

Belonging doesn’t arrive loudly.
It hums.

In this episode, we explore belonging not as a mindset or a metric—but as a nervous-system experience. The kind you feel in your body when your shoulders drop, your breath deepens, and you realize you don’t have to perform to stay.

Drawing from real moments inside Curated Conversation, this episode reflects on the last four weeks of Weekly MindSweep and what creative and ADHD entrepreneurs are truly craving right now: safety, permission, and spaces where unfinished thoughts are welcome.

You’ll hear reflections on:

Why belonging isn’t the same as being wanted

How performance and masking exhaust ADHD nervous systems

What happens when mistakes don’t lead to shame

Why internal safety can’t be outsourced

How to recognize belonging by how your body responds—not how impressive you feel

This is an episode for entrepreneurs who are tired of auditioning, done with bracing, and ready to build their work and relationships from a place of honesty and regulation.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Where do I feel safe enough to be real?”—this conversation is for you. Listen in.

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 205 | Manage Your Mind | Belonging

Belonging Doesn’t Equal Being Wanted

Have you ever been in rooms that looked successful on the outside but left you feeling exhausted, smaller, or disconnected on the inside? In this episode of Weekly MindSweep, we explore the neuroscience of belonging and why fitting in can quietly drain creative and ADHD entrepreneurs—even when things appear to be “working.”

We’ll look at how your brain processes belonging as a safety signal, why social threat hits faster for neurodivergent minds, and how this shows up in pricing, visibility, and group spaces.

Jamie Chapman also shares practical, brain-based ways to recognize real belonging, protect your nervous system, and choose—or build—rooms that can actually hold your wiring.

If you’ve ever wondered why success still felt heavy, this conversation will help you understand why—and what belonging feels like when it’s real.
