Shame doesn’t crash in like failure — it seeps in like almost enough.

In this week’s MindSweep, we’re unraveling The Creative Shame Spiral — the quiet, protective voice that tells you to blend in, prove your worth, or stay small. For ADHD and creative entrepreneurs, shame isn’t just emotional — it’s neurological. Your brain reads it as danger, triggering fight, flight, freeze, or fawn before you’ve even realized what’s happening.

Together, we’ll explore:
🧠 The neuroscience of shame and why it hijacks your creative energy
💭 How perfectionism, procrastination, and imposter syndrome disguise it
💡 Simple practices to separate self from story and return to creative safety

Because shame doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means your brain is trying to protect what it values most: connection, belonging, and creative freedom.

Let’s turn down shame’s whisper so your true, imperfect, brilliant voice can rise.

Listen to “The Creative Shame Spiral” — your reminder that you are not behind. You are becoming.

From Shame to Self-Seeing: Start with a MindSweep Mapping Session — where insight becomes strategy, and strategy becomes ease.
