Weekly MindSweep No. 238 | Curated Conversation | Interdependence

🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 238 | Curated Conversation | Interdependence How Dare You Tend to Me. I’ve got it. Fifty topics in, and interdependence is the one we're the worst at. A brain-based business podcast for the ADHD entrepreneur, neurodivergent entrepreneur, and creative entrepreneur building a service-based business without a one-size-fits-all playbook. This week, Jamie Chapman opens the Interdependence arc, Curated Conversation's 50th topic, with a story about her son, a stuck zipper, and four seconds she couldn't let him have. What starts as one small moment in the kitchen becomes a real look at a pattern a lot of creative and ADHD entrepreneurs know intimately: being fluent in giving support and nearly illiterate in receiving it. Inside this episode: The real difference between dependence, codependence, and interdependence, and why most of us were only ever taught two of the three Why receiving help can trigger the same threat response as rejection itself, and what rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) has to do with it The attachment research behind why self-sufficiency so often gets mistaken for safety Vanessa Bohns' research on the "underestimation-of-compliance effect," and why asking for help almost never costs what we think it will Five real, specific moments to watch for this week if you tend to say "I've got it" before anyone's even finished asking This episode is part of the Weekly MindSweep, a weekly newsletter and podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs, neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and creative entrepreneurs who want brain-based strategies for building a business that actually fits how their mind works, not the other way around. Also inside: an invitation to Curated Conversation, a free community for spicy-brained entrepreneurs, meeting live every Monday morning at 8am EST, and details on MindSweep Mapping Sessions for anyone ready to go deeper on where these patterns show up in their own business.
