Why does putting your prices up or negotiating a higher salary feel so much scarier than it should?

On this episode of Mind + Money, we're joined by Kate Edwards, founder of Eight Percent Coaching, to dig into rejection sensitivity, pricing, and why so many ADHD entrepreneurs (and employees) leave real money on the table.

Here's what we get into:

Why the fear that shows up right before a price increase or a negotiation isn't really about the number at all

Kate's own 56% pay jump, and what she actually did to advocate for herself

Why women with ADHD are earning meaningfully less than neurotypical women, and what that gap adds up to over a lifetime

A simple business audit exercise that shows you exactly where your time and money are actually going

How to negotiate a job offer (or a client contract) without losing the deal

Note that we'll be slowing down a bit for the summer and will be switching to bi-weekly episodes because, well, Summer!

Do you need a niche to run a successful business? The standard advice says yes, and it usually sounds like "pick a demographic." But what if that approach doesn't work for how your ADHD brain actually operates?

In this episode, Sherry and Val dig into what it really means to find your people as an ADHD entrepreneur. Spoiler: it has a lot less to do with age ranges and job titles and a lot more to do with values, energy, and shared interests.

They cover:

- Why demographic-based niching often falls flat for ADHD entrepreneurs

- What to look at instead when figuring out who your ideal client actually is

- How sharing your values openly (even the polarising ones) attracts the right clients and repels the wrong ones

- Why financial stability gives you the power to say no to clients who aren't a fit

- How your gut instinct is your biggest asset on discovery calls, and why ADHDers often second-guess it even when it's right

If you've been stuck trying to force your business into a niche box that doesn't feel right, this one's for you.

Ever found yourself in the kitchen at 9pm, suddenly aware you have not eaten all day, and then felt that wave of shame wash over you? If feeding yourself feels weirdly hard, you are not broken and you are definitely not alone.

This week we are joined by Amy Jones, a certified functional nutrition practitioner and ADHD life coach who was not diagnosed with ADHD until she was 45. She gets it, because she lives it too.

We get into:

- Why eating is actually an executive function task (and why that one reframe changes everything)

- The shame spiral around food, and how to start stepping out of it

- The surprising link between digestion, stomach acid, and feeling like garbage

- Amy's PFF is your BFF approach to staying fuelled without overhauling your whole life

- Meals as assembly, not recipes, for the days you have zero capacity left

If you have ever wondered why you can know exactly what you should eat and still not do it, this is the episode for you.
