    Why “Fixing Your Business” Doesn’t Work — and What Does Instead

    If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do… I’m just not doing it,” this episode is for you. Most advice for getting unstuck sounds like: try harder, do more, be more consistent. But what if your business isn’t broken — it just wasn’t built to work with your brain? In this episode, Christina, Victoria, and Melanie unpack why traditional business advice often fails neurodivergent entrepreneurs — and how to stop trying to "fix" yourself and instead redesign your business to actually support how you think, feel, and operate. It’s an honest, compassionate conversation about resistance, burnout, clarity, and what real momentum looks like when you're not masking or forcing yourself to fit the mold. 🧠 Key Takeaways * Resistance isn’t just procrastination. It’s often a signal that something’s not aligned — or that your system is creating unnecessary friction. * You can’t system your way out of survival mode. Clarity and momentum start with meeting your actual needs, not masking them. * You don't need to blow everything up to make change. Small, intentional shifts based on how you actually work can create powerful results. 🧭 What Else We Covered * How trauma patterns and survival mode sneak into business design * The difference between resistance and redirection * Why “clarity first” matters more than another system or schedule * Letting go of shame when you’re stuck or stalled * Reframing procrastination, inconsistency, and shutdown as data, not failure 🎓 Want More Conversations Like This?

    The Integrity Trap: Keeping Your Word Without Losing Your Freedom & Sanity

    You built your business on integrity—when you say you’ll do something, you follow through. But what happens when that commitment starts costing you more than it should? Too many entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in underpaid projects, misaligned client relationships, and energy-draining contracts—all in the name of keeping their word.

Tune in to learn about: * Why integrity is NOT about sacrificing yourself for others—and what it actually looks like in a sustainable business. * How to recognize when a commitment is misaligned (without guilt-tripping yourself). * The difference between honoring your word and being taken advantage of. * Practical ways to renegotiate agreements, set boundaries, and restructure commitments. * Strategies to keep your word without feeling resentment toward your clients. * How to exit a contract gracefully (without ruining your reputation). 🎧 Don’t miss an episode!
