    🧠 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. You belong here. I can help.

    🧠 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.

    Weekly MindSweep Podcast No. 204

    🧠 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.

    🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 203 | Curated Conversation | Belonging This week’s Curated Conversation turns toward one of the deepest human needs—and one of the most misunderstood: Belonging. After a month exploring Shame, it became clear that everything beneath the fear, defensiveness, over-explaining, undercharging, fawning, and creative hiding traced back to a single question: “Is it safe to be myself here?” In this episode, Jamie dives into the neuroscience and lived experience of belonging—not the external, approval-based kind, but the quiet internal belonging that comes from honoring who you truly are in your business, your creativity, and your community. You’ll explore: why belonging feels like survival to your brain how self-abandonment shows up in work and visibility the difference between fitting in and belonging the stories we carry about worth the moment your nervous system finally exhales, “I’m allowed to take up space.” Plus, you’ll learn the four awareness tools for noticing when you leave yourself, and how to begin the practice of returning. If you’ve ever softened your brilliance, reshaped your voice, underpriced your value, or translated your creativity into something more “acceptable,” this episode will feel like coming home to yourself. Welcome to Belonging – not something you earn, but something you remember.

    Weekly MindSweep Podcast No. 202

    This week, we close out our month-long exploration of shame — not as a flaw, but as a signal. A spotlight. A guide. In this reflective episode, I share the moment that quietly cracked me open: a simple head tilt at a networking event that sent my nervous system into a full shame flood. Not because I was unprepared… but because I cared. Over the past four weeks we’ve explored: The Mask — how creative, ADHD entrepreneurs learn to perform “having it together” The Spiral — comparison, overthinking, and the stories shame tells in the dark The Price of Proof — how shame sneaks into pricing, proposals, and visibility The Flood — what actually happens in the brain when shame hits And now, in Week 202, we close with a deeper truth:Shame doesn’t show up where you’re failing. It shows up where you’re growing. This episode is a soft landing and a clear call inward. We’ll talk about:• why shame appears in the moments we care most• how to use awareness to interrupt the spiral• the surprising role shame plays in protecting our sense of belonging• how to build self-trust in the moments you want to hide If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “behind,” or “not enough,” this episode will remind you of something essential: You’re not broken.You’re becoming. Listen now — and let this be the moment you step into deeper self-trust.

    Have you ever sent a proposal and immediately wished you could unsend it?That wave of panic that hits before your client even opens it — cheeks flushed, heart racing, mind already writing the worst-case scenario? This week, we’re talking about shame and self-worth in business — specifically, what happens when pricing your work triggers your brain’s survival system. When you run a business as a creative or ADHD entrepreneur, every proposal, post, and pitch feels personal. And when shame sneaks in, it convinces you that the verdict has already been written — long before the evidence arrives. In this episode, we’ll explore:💜 Why your nervous system reacts to money and feedback like a threat💜 How ADHD sensitivity amplifies the “I’m not enough” story💜 The neuroscience of pricing and self-trust💜 Four practices to pause, regulate, and reframe shame before it hijacks your creativity Because your price isn’t a test of worth, it’s a boundary that protects your energy, your craft, and your capacity to do your best work. 👉 Listen in, breathe deep, and remember: your business can only grow as much as your self-trust does.

    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.
