  Ep 110:Stop ‘hiding’ on social media 29.07.2026 43min

  How can neurodivergent business owners grow sustainably without selling their soul to social media?  Calling all introverts and folks who are fed up of faking it! If you’re exhausted by social media “shoulds”, sick of bro-marketing BS, and craving a more authentic, capacity-conscious way to market your business, this episode will feel like the most delicious permission slip to stop ‘hiding’ on socials (where you’re not getting the actual results you want!) and do marketing differently. Phew!In this episode, I am joined by Polly Pollock – marketing coach for ADHD and neurodivergent business owners, host of the Neurorepreneur Rising podcast, author, and creator of the Neuro Friendly Sales Accelerator. Polly specialises in social media–optional marketing, where leading with your strengths and ethics helps you build real human relationships, rather than feeling like you’re at the mercy of ever-changing trends and tactics. She also wins the prize for Best Podcast Guest Pitch Ever - listen to the ep to find out why. We dive into:🧭 Challenging Conventional Marketing - Why 2026 marketing feels rigid and performative, and how Polly helps her clients build strategies around their actual strengths and energy.📵 Social Media–Optional Business - How we got stuck in a world where “all we’ve ever known is social media” – and why Polly now teaches social media–optional marketing as standard (I freakin LOVE this concept!)🤝 Trust, Ethics & Human Connection- Seeing your DMs as “doing business by the coffee machine”, how to use platforms as social networks again, and why many neurodivergent folks get the ick about using attention-hacking tactics. As she says herself, so wisely: “Business is about relationships. Business is about trust. That’s what creates sales for you.”📨 Capacity-Conscious Marketing & Email - Replacing the daily posting grind with sustainable visibility, email as your creative home, and making marketing fit your life, not the other way round.🎙️ Off-Social Visibility Strategies - Using opportunities such as Podcast guesting and guest teaching in communities as deeper, higher-trust “ponds” where your full expertise has the airtime it deserves.💪 Confidence, Evidence & Being ‘Hot Shit’ - Why evidence builds confidence more than affirmations, using “smile files”, and how off-social visibility actually can make you better at what you do.If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’m just bad at marketing,” this conversation will show you that the problem isn’t you – it’s the box you’ve been told to squeeze yourself into. You’ll walk away with concrete ideas for more ethical, sustainable, and neuro-friendly ways to get clients… without ‘hiding’ on social media. Polly wants you to know: “You will blow your own fucking mind at your own capabilities once you get out of this stupid small pond of social media.”Further resources & linksPolly’s Anti-Social Marketing Kit – a starter toolkit and Notion dashboard to help you design your first off-social visibility strategy and track opportunities - Grab yours for free with code "UNCONVENTIONAL": https://www.neuropreneurrising.com/antisocialConnect with Polly on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/pollypollockofficial/ for more on social media–optional marketing and neuro-friendly sales.Listen to Polly’s podcast - Neuropreneur Rising - https://www.neuropreneurrising.com/---Step into Siobhan's Unconventional WorldConnect with Siobhan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching and Ick-Free Marketing & Sales Course: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Ep 109: Don’t be a sheep, be a zebra 22.07.2026 40min

  How can you build a disability-led, neurodivergent-friendly business that actually works for your brain and body instead of forcing yourself into corporate-shaped boxes?If you’re a business owner craving something more real, raw and relatable (and less “6am cold plunge hustle bro” nonsense), this episode shows you what that can really look like in practice. In this episode, I am joined by brand designer Bethany Jewkes, who creates bold, personality-packed brands for disability-led, chronically ill, and neurodivergent business owners. We unpack toxic work culture, unmasking, and building a business around comfort, capacity, and actual joy—and find out all about Bethany’s signature pyjama approach to business! As an AuDHDer with chronic illnesses myself, I found this conversation so refreshing and affirming. As Bethany says, so rightly:“If it costs your happiness and your health, it’s not worth it.”We dive into:🧬 What makes Bethany unconventional? From bright hair to introvert energy, Bethany has made a lifelong habit of questioning rules rather than accepting them at face value.🔥 From toxic workplace to self-employment: How a hostile manager, blocked promotions, and worsening mental health pushed Bethany to “accidentally” start a business.🎯 Niching into disabled & neurodivergent clients: why she now intentionally designs brands and processes around access needs, energy, and communication differences.🛌 The pyjama approach to business: binning off performative professionalism and designing work around real bodies, brains and capacity.💪 Disability, work, and the strengths-based lens: Challenging deficit narratives: “Technically, I’m less able to do some things, but that doesn’t mean my entire worth diminishes.”🧠 Unmasking and redesigning your services: Noticing “I have to do it this way because that’s how it’s done” and gently dismantling it—like dropping services you don’t actually like doing.🎓 School, conformity, and the roots of people-pleasing: How uniforms, appearance rules, and bullying prime us to become “sheep” in adulthood and business.👪 Work, parenting, and the question of ‘having it all’: Celebrating our choice to design work around family, health, and presence rather than chase conventional success metrics.🌱 Community, co-regulation, and not building alone: Bethany’s Community (now The BizAbled Cult) and why co-working and daily support make all the difference for disabled and ND business owners.If you’re tired of rinse-and-repeat business advice and find yourself wondering, “Is it actually me… or is the system the problem?”, this conversation will give you language, validation, and practical ideas to build a business that actually fits you—not the other way round.Further resources & linksConnect with Bethany on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethany-s-jewkes/Follow BeBeau Creative on Instagram & TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/bebeaucreativeCheck out the BizAbled Cult community: https://www.bebeaucreative.co.uk/the-biz-abled-cultStep into Siobhan's Unconventional WorldConnect with Siobhan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Ep 108: Build a business that fits your brain 01.07.2026 40min

  What does it really take for “spicy-brained” (neurodivergent and/or disabled) people to build sustainable businesses that honour our needs and capacity - and how do we stop measuring ourselves against neurotypical standards?In this episode of the Unconventional Business Podcast, I’m joined by Stephanie Ward, founder of Spicy Brain Collective, to explore what it actually takes for “spicy-brained” (neurodivergent and/or disabled) folks to run sustainable businesses without forcing themselves into neurotypical templates.As someone who faced more than her share of adversity, finding herself physically disabled with 2 neurodivergent diagnoses, Stephanie knows what it’s like to try ten times harder just to “match the normies”, and uses her experience to empower and inspire others. We talk about why “done with, not done for” support protects autonomy, Stephanie’s brilliant neurodivergent task commencement continuum (which I have since told EVERYONE about!), building her team around their hyperfocus and strengths - and the honest, often messy reality of being a neurodivergent parent to a neurodivergent child, while running a business.In this ep, we dive into:What Makes Stephanie Unconventional - How she realised “normal” doesn’t exist and why she’s always done business her own way.Building Spicy-Brain-Friendly Businesses - Why standard VA support can conflict with our need for autonomy, and Stephanie’s “done with, not done for” model for her neurodivergent clients.The Absolutely Brilliant Neurodivergent Task Commencement Continuum - Stephanie’s 0–100% task model, the “first and last 10%” problem, and how the right humans/systems unlock the 80% we can do. This one is an absolute game-changer!Hyperfocus, Strengths, and Team Design - Matching roles to special interests, and why letting team members specialise is like “herding cats—but very organised ones.”Work, Parenting, and Transitional Energy - The challenge of Mondays, school runs, guilt, and the reality of being a neurodivergent parent to a neurodivergent child while running a business.Radicalising Kids with Kindness & Entrepreneurship- Encouraging children to see entrepreneurship as a valid path and modelling “you don’t have to follow society’s template.”Undoing 20,000 Negative Messages- The impact of constant correction on ADHD/ND kids, and the lifelong journey to rebuild self-belief.From Control to Connection in Parenting - Replacing coercion, compliance, and control with collaboration, conversation, and connection—for all kids, not just ND ones.“If we could undo that trauma, we’d have a whole generation of confident, self-aware adults living their best life.”If you’ve ever felt like traditional business and productivity advice wasn’t built for your brain, this conversation will make you feel seen—and give you practical ways to build a business that works with your brain, not against it.Find out more about Stephanie:Free community & resources: https://www.facebook.com/thespicybraincollective/ https://www.instagram.com/thespicybraincollective/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-ward-sbc/ Connect with me & follow the Unconventional Business PodcastPodcast website & episodes: https://www.unconventionalbiz.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/

  Mini-ep 17: Manage your threshold, not your triggers 24.06.2026 5min

  Managing Thresholds Instead of Triggers: A New Approach to Resilience?!In this weekly mini-episode, I go leftfield (as always!) to offer you a slightly different perspective on how to handle your daily challenges.Using my migraines as an analogy, I talk through the benefits of "going upstream" and focusing on managing your threshold, rather than just your triggers. As a migraine sufferer and AuDHDer, I've found this a really effective way to build my resilience and reduce my stress levels in everyday life and business.By building resilience through small, consistent habits (like sleep, hydration, movement - MEDS!), you can often dissolve these triggers altogether.Maybe it’s time to think bigger than avoidance. What ONE action are you committing to take from this episode to boost your resilience?

  Mini-ep 16: Stop crashing out. Hyperfocus responsibly! 17.06.2026 5min

  Ever hit that "God mode" where you feel unstoppable? But what if I told you that’s exactly when you should pause? 🤯 While ADHD hyperfocus can feel like a superpower, it often leads to a huge energy crash - or worse, burnout. When you're in the zone, it's easy to ignore your body's signals, like hunger or needing a wee. I've learned that the moment you start feeling euphoria is actually a cue to slow down, just like when I swim in cold water. After years of swimming in the River Itchen, I've realised that the moment I feel invincible is the exact moment I need to check in with myself. I am not, in fact, an actual dolphin!!Try this: next time you drop into hyperfocus, set a timer, ask a friend to check on you, or find some external scaffolding to help you build that all-important self-awareness. Can you catch your "God mode" euphoria moment and take a step back? What do you notice when you do take a break?!I'd love to know: do you recognise this feeling in yourself? How do you manage your hyperfocus? Comment below and let's keep the conversation going!Oh and if you're enjoying this podcast, please follow us, and leave a rating or review wherever you listen to podcasts!

  Ep 107: Making Peace With The Mess 10.06.2026 42min

  What is radical self-acceptance? And could it really hold the keys to business success!?In this episode of Unconventional Business Podcast, I chat with Donna Henley, a business strategist who helps women who constantly second-guess themselves to build solid strategy foundations while practising radical self-acceptance.Donna shares her journey from burnout, self-doubt, and “doing business the right way” to embracing her messy humanity, honouring her ADHD brain, and building a business that prioritises peace and freedom over hustle and perfection.Together, we unpack what it really means to build a business you don’t need time off from, how to work with your brain instead of against it, and why authenticity, needs-awareness, and self-compassion are non‑negotiable for sustainable success—especially for neurodivergent entrepreneurs.In this episode, we cover:Donna’s unconventional approach:Building a business by embracing messiness, self-doubt and imperfectionLetting go of “doing it the right way” and industry shouldsBurnout, self-doubt & the fluke narrative:Feeling like success was an accident, not abilityBurning out from trying to follow every popular strategy and scheduleRadical self-acceptance in business:Choosing peace and freedom over performative “seven-figure” perfectionBuilding a business you don’t need time off fromPotato days vs. powerhouse days:Designing work that honours fluctuating energy and capacityHelping clients ditch the noise, get clear on what they actually want, and then build strategy to matchRethinking productivity & work norms:Questioning the 40-hour work week in a world of AI and higher outputWhy “part-time” hours don’t equal a lack of commitmentADHD as operating instructions, not an excuse:Donna’s self-diagnosis journey and deep researchUsing ADHD as a lens to design better strategies, not as a label to hide behindMasking, ableism & the hidden cost of coping:The physical and emotional toll of decades of pretending to be “fine”Internalised ableism and why invisible needs are so often dismissedPermission, peace and being a “masterpiece in progress”:“Borrow my permission until you can give it to yourself”You can be both a work-in-progress and a masterpiece at the same timeParenting & power phrases for self-acceptance:Teaching kids they’re already awesome while they’re still learningSimple phrases like “Did you mean to hurt my feelings?” and “I didn’t ask for your feedback” to hand other people’s stuff backEnjoyed the show?Leave a comment and let me know what you're taking away from this ep - and please follow us and share the pod with someone else who needs to hear this message! Find out more about DonnaLI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donnahenleyco/FB: https://www.facebook.com/donnahenleyhogg/Donna’s free business strategy board: https://donna-oodtlcyw.scoreapp.com/--Step into Siobhan's Unconventional WorldConnect with Siobhan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Mini-ep 15: Why ADHD burnout hits different 10.06.2026 4min

  Burnout hits different for ADHD and AuDHD business owners. Can you relate?!As ADHD business owners, we often feel the weight of big goals, endless new ideas, and the pressure of keeping our clients happy (never mind paying the bills!) But let's be real: if we don’t take a break, we risk running ourselves into the ground. So how do we balance it all? It starts by recognising that we wear multiple hats: the passionate human being, the dedicated employee, and the visionary CEO. Each part of us has unique needs - and very often those needs can pull in opposite directions!For me, the answer lies in acknowledging these different sets of needs, and seeing them holistically. And always, always, putting yourself first - what do you need, as a human?When these three parts of yourself work together in harmony, burnout becomes a thing of the past. I'm living proof! I’ve learned that supporting all versions of myself is essential to avoiding burnout. Now I want to hear your thoughts—how does burnout show up for you? Let's keep the conversation going! Comment below or drop me a message. And if you're enjoying the podcast, please follow us, share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and leave us a rating or review.

  How do you stay in business long‑term when things keep changing, clients disappear, and life keeps “lifing” – without constantly feeling blindsided?I recently celebrated 7 years in business and thought: what better time to reflect on everything I've learned?! In this mini episode, I dive into Lesson 1 of my Seven Lessons for Seven Years in Business: Adapt or Die. I share the messy, real‑life truth of what it actually takes to stay ahead in business when you’re neurodivergent, juggling life, and trying to build something sustainable that works for you.“The moment you get too comfortable is the moment something is probably about to go tits up.”I talk about:Why Comfort is a Red FlagHow getting cosy with your current clients and routines can quietly put your business at risk The CEO / Employee / You FrameworkSeeing yourself as three people:CEO you – strategy, sales, directionEmployee you – serving clients and doing the workYou‑you – the human who needs sleep, food, joy, and a lifeSimple Monthly Check‑In QuestionsThe low‑key, high-impact “walk and ponder” questions to keep your head above the parapet:What’s gone really well this month?What’s actually working + where are my clients really coming from?What did I love and want more of – and what do I want less of?Why Social Media Isn’t the Magic BulletRethinking where clients actually come from (spoiler: often not Instagram) and why doubling down on what already works beats chasing shiny tacticsIf you’re running a business and constantly feel one curveball away from everything falling apart, this episode will help you step back, think like a CEO, and build in simple rhythms that keep you adaptable without a giant spreadsheet or a full nervous breakdown.Further resources & linksListen to the full episode -  How do you keep going and stay in business? - for the remaining six lessons on pricing, burnout, boundaries, self‑investment, building your village, and being Marmite not jam: https://open.spotify.com/episode/17edxaFusjfW7mB7G6h1an?si=OTlqFTmaR1OpzC8MAuVjcwConnect with me on LinkedIn for more unconventional, sweary business truths--Curious to know more?Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Ep 106: How do you keep going and stay in business? 03.06.2026 24min

  How do you actually stay in business long‑term without burning out, especially as a neurodivergent, values‑led, self‑employed human?To celebrate seven years in business, I’m sharing seven lessons I've learned the hard way, so you don't have to! The surprising truths, face‑slap moments, and practical mindset shifts that helped me go from crashed‑out corporate employee to building a business that genuinely supports my life (not the other way round).“Work–life balance isn’t something I’m chasing anymore, it’s something I live.”Seven Lessons - The Juicy Deets:1. Adapt or DieWhy getting too comfortable is risky, how to stay ahead when life is “lifing”, plus the magic CEO / Employee / You framework for checking in on your business.2. The Real Secret to PricingYour rates must cover all your time: time on the business, time in the business, time off and time out.3. You Are the Best InvestmentHow therapy, coaching, ADHD/autism discovery and self‑development changed everything for me – and why you can’t “strategise” your way out of unhealed emotional stuff.4. Becoming Your Own Best BossSpotting where you’ve internalised your worst bosses and turned them on yourself – and why kindness and beats self‑bullying for productivity hands down.5. It Takes a Village to Raise a BusinessI invite you to think about networking as building your virtual board and finding your people so self‑employment doesn’t feel so lonely.6. Zero Prizes for BurnoutBoundaries, artificial urgency, capacity‑led planning and the reminder: “You’re saving PDFs, not lives.”7. Be Marmite, Not JamWhy the most effective marketing is being your weird, sweary, fully‑you self – so the right people feel deeply seen and the wrong ones self‑select out. “In a sea of jam, you need to be Marmite.”If you’re tired of fluffy business advice and want honest, lived‑experience truths about building a sustainable, neurodivergent‑friendly business, this episode will help you redesign how you work so it actually works for your life.Further resources & linksReal Hourly Rate Calculator + Loom walkthrough (fix your pricing): https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/resources/realhourlyratecalcRelated episodes on: fixing your pricing: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1XoawW3tW0q8Y3Fh6MvzG1?si=KXpeUScPTOibikRJurVyuAjust being your damn self in business: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0oqWVt0pCZmrsZiyIo0ir1?si=IDOsO6ILSqSj0bXp6koipgbuilding neurodivergent‑friendly business strategy: https://open.spotify.com/episode/05zZJZylL5CsAJFSAtN0XN?si=oyD0uEX9RsuGgj0HsCsvegConnect with me on LinkedIn for more “unconventional business” conversations and behind‑the‑scenes shares!Curious to know more?Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Mini-ep 13: Can you hold the tension? 27.05.2026 5min

  Can you love your life but still feel overwhelmed? Let’s talk about holding the tension. Here's your permission slip: it’s totally okay to feel both gratitude and overwhelm at the same time. As someone with an AuDHD brain, I often find myself in that all-or-nothing mindset. I'm grateful for my life, but goddamn is it a lot sometimes!!What if it’s possible to hold space for both feelings at the same time?I love my kid and my business, but there are days when it feels like too much for one person to handle. What I've learned is it’s about recognising those moments of overwhelm without letting them mean a bunch of stuff about yourself and your life.So, how can we tune into those signals? It might be as simple as taking a deep breath or stepping outside for a moment (even if it feels like the only answer is to escape to the Bahamas for a week!)Remember, it’s a-okay to ask for help and make small adjustments to ease the load. How do you hold that tension? Comment on the ep or drop me an email. I'd love to know if this resonates!-----Curious to know more?Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Mini-ep 12: Are you top-down or bottom-up? 20.05.2026 5min

  Are you a big picture thinker or all about the details? Let’s dive into how these processing styles shape our problem-solving...Share this with someone who needs to hear this!In our latest mini episode of the Unconventional Business Podcast, we explore the concepts of top-down and bottom-up processing. For many neurodivergent folks, our approach to problem-solving can vary greatly from "the norm."Where top-down processing starts with a big idea, bottom-up processing focuses on absorbing details first. This can be a real strength and allow us to spot details others miss, but it can also be a lot! Taking in lots of data can lead to sensory overwhelm for those of us who process the world differently.Take 5 minutes out of your busy day today and discover how recognising your processing style can empower your decision-making and help manage sensory overload. It’s not just about being able to do more stuff; it’s about understanding how your brain naturally operates.I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you noticed this in your life? How could switching approaches make things easier for you?-----Curious to know more?Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Mini-Ep 11 - What do you need right now? 13.05.2026 5min

  What do you really need in your business right now? 🤔 Let’s get real and raw and talk about those challenges! I want to hear from YOU!!After an unbelievable FOUR YEARS of the Unconventional Business Podcast, I’ve realised it’s YOU who inspires me when I go off track (I am an ADHDer, after all!).Every time I hit a wall with my production schedule, your wonderful messages pull me back in and fire me up to get going again. One recent message slapped me in the face: a listener shared how this very podcast helped them grow from zero to a four-figure income in just months! 🎉 This is such a great reminder that our individual experiences and differences matter. Let’s face it: traditional business advice isn’t for everyone, especially for those of us with ADHD or different neurotypes. For me, it’s about leaning into your strengths and finding ways to sidestep challenges. So as a business owner, what’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now? What’s keeping you up at night? I want to build my library of affordable resources to actually help you, rather than pumping out the same generic advice that doesn’t work for brains like ours.Let me know what's driving you nuts in your biz right now, and let’s figure it out together.

  Mini Ep 10 - Are you giving too much away? 06.05.2026 5min

  Ever wondered if you’re giving too much away in your business? 🤔 Share this ep with a fellow ADHD business owner who needs to hear this! In today’s episode, I’m talking about that fine line between sharing value with your audience and giving everything away for free. It’s a common debate: should you hold stuff back or give it all away in your content? Here’s my take on this: when you share your insights, perspective and thinking, it’s not about giving away your expertise for free; it’s about offering your audience a taste - and earning their trust.The real value exchange happens when someone pays for your personalised attention and service. You’re not just sharing knowledge with them at this point; you’re helping them solve their specific problems, with solutions tailored to their needs. For me, it's about helping others while also ensuring I meet my business goals. You can do both!What’s your perspective on this?

  Episode 105: Is AI Making Us Less Creative? 29.04.2026 40min

  Is AI making us less creative – especially us neurodivergent folks who might use it just to get through daily life?I’m joined by Hari Patience-Davies for this meaty episode. Hari is a storytelling coach who helps people improve their public speaking and presentations. We originally connected on LinkedIn and immediately got into a big, uncomfortable question: Is AI making us less creative?In this ep of the podcast, we talk about shame, late-diagnosed ADHD and autism, school trauma (hello, horrible art teachers), perfectionism, and the slippery slope of how easy it becomes to outsource our creativity and critical thinking to tools that were meant to “save us time”. Hari shares why she refuses to hand her writing voice over to AI, as well as the situations she happily uses tech for efficiency elsewhere.We also look at what happens when students and graduates lean on AI to write and research for them, what that might mean for the workplace, and how to use AI intentionally without losing the skills that actually matter to you.We cover:Why storytelling is a learnable skill, not a magical talentHow early criticism such as “you’re bad at drawing” can create a lifelong identity that looks like: “I can’t draw.”ADHD, autism, and the perfectionist gap between the idea in your head and what actually comes outHari’s experiments with AI-written LinkedIn posts – and why they all started to sound the sameStudies suggesting heavy AI use can erode writing and critical thinking skills in studentsThe difference between using AI for efficiency vs. outsourcing your core creativityPhones, social media, and why today’s teens often say they wish they’d never had a smartphoneThis episode is part therapy session, part tech-ethics chat, and part love letter to human creativity!

  Mini-ep 9: What If You Treat Yourself Like A Plant? 29.04.2026 5min

  Is your environment helping or hindering you right now? 🤔Share this ep with someone who needs to hear this!So often, we forget how much our surroundings affect our well-being. Recently, I spent a weekend repotting my houseplants—they were pot-bound, struggling to thrive. 🌱Just like those plants, we sometimes have just about enough to stay alive but don’t truly flourish in our environments. Are we in the right space? Do we have what we need to grow? I thought about this a lot as I repotted my plants, and felt deep satisfaction in giving them the space and support they needed to thrive. 🌿 Think of yourself: Are you getting enough sunlight, support, and care? If you need a change in your environment, it's important to think about nudging your comfort zone, not jumping into something too big too quickly (plants don't like to go into too big a pot too quickly, after all!)Let’s challenge ourselves gently! What’s one small nudge you can make this week?Join me next week for more ramblings and analogies from daily life!-----Curious to know more about my work coaching ADHD business owners?Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com

  Episode 104 - From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust 15.04.2026 35min

  What happens when you shift from self-doubt to self-trust? In this episode of the Unconventional Business Podcast, I am joined by Love & Breathwork Coach Hannah Holt for an honest (and mildly sweary) discussion to dismantle some of those pesky internal blocks that so often keep business owners playing small. From overcoming the "good girl" narrative (oh hi, it me!) to understanding why our brains are wired to keep us safe (but stuck), Hannah and I break down how to move from a place of constant second-guessing to radical self-trust.Inside the episode:🎧 The Power of Curiosity: Hannah explains why "curiosity is the antidote to judgment" and how shifting from "why am I like this?" to "that's interesting" can change your self-talk for the better.🎧 "Good Girl" Conditioning: How being praised for being "easy" or "quiet" as a child can impact our ability to set boundaries or take up space in business.🎧 Safety vs. Growth: Why your brain often views self-doubt as a survival mechanism. Hannah breaks down how the "primitive brain" tries to keep you in safe to avoid the perceived "danger" of visibility.🎧 Redefining Self-Trust: It isn't about knowing everything will work out perfectly; it’s the confidence that you can handle whatever comes your way.🎧 The Impact of Comparisonitis: How "compare and despair" culture on social media feeds our self-doubt and why we need to stop comparing our "internal gunk" to everyone else's "external highlight reel".🎧 ADHD and the Internal Critic: We discuss the specific challenges of ADHD, including "Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria" (RSD) and how a lifetime of negative feedback can erode self-belief.Mic-Drop Moments:"Self-doubt is just a thought, it is not a fact." We often treat our doubts as objective truths, but they are usually just stories our brains tell to keep us from taking risks."Borrowing Trust": When self-trust feels hard, Hannah suggests "borrowing" the trust your coach or peers have in you until you can build your own.The Goal is Resilience, Not Perfection: Self-trust is the "antidote to the fear of failure" because it focuses on your ability to "have your own back" regardless of the result.Keeping Receipts: Instead of focusing on what went wrong, start intentionally looking for and logging evidence of what is going right, to retrain your brain's bias.Enjoyed the show?Leave a comment and let me know what you're taking away from this ep - and please follow us and share the pod with someone else who needs to hear this message!Find out more about Hannah Holt here:https://www.hannahholt.co.uk/--Step into Siobhan's Unconventional WorldConnect with Siobhan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siobhanrfox/Learn more about ADHD business coaching: https://bigpicturebusinesscoach.com/Get in touch: siobhan@revealmarketinguk.com
