🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 204 | Mind Your Business | Belonging

In this episode of Weekly MindSweep, Jamie Chapman unpacks the real, lived experience of re-entering the entrepreneurial world during a global pandemic—and the frustration, exhaustion, and quiet heartbreak of trying to “fit” into spaces that never felt safe, inclusive, or aligned.

If you’ve ever entered a networking group, mastermind, or online community and instantly felt your chest tighten…

If you’ve ever wondered why you shrink, mask, or monitor every word you say…

If you’ve ever left a Zoom room thinking, “Maybe I’m too much—or not enough”…

This episode will help you understand why.

Through the lens of creative neurodivergence, pattern-spotting nervous systems, and Jamie’s own story of not fitting in (and then building the Chickbook Creative Community), you’ll learn:

Why belonging is a biological experience before it’s a social one

How creative neurodivergent entrepreneurs sense safety—and danger—so quickly

The 3 layers of belonging in business communities

What great hosts do to create safe, inclusive spaces

How to discern if a room is “wrong for you” or simply “new for your nervous system”

Five practical tools to evaluate whether you should stay or go

The truth about building rooms where you—and your whole mind—belong

This episode is an invitation to stop auditioning for rooms not designed for your brilliance, and to start recognizing the power, clarity, and confidence that emerges when you finally find—or create—the room that sees you.

Listen now and discover why belonging isn’t something you earn; It’s something you build.
