In this solo episode, Kim Raine tackles a topic every ADHD entrepreneur grapples with but few talk about honestly, failure.

Sharing personal stories and coaching insights, Kim reframes failure not as a red flag but as vital feedback, a roadmap for growth, and a normal part of building a successful business. She dives into why ADHD brains often experience failure more intensely thanks to rejection sensitivity, all-or-nothing thinking, and internalised shame, and reminds us that flopped launches, messy pivots, and slow seasons are often what pave the way to the biggest breakthroughs.

With warmth and humour, Kim shares how one of her own biggest “failures” led to the clarity, confidence, and business alignment she’d been chasing for years.

This episode is a pep talk for anyone in the messy middle, feeling stuck, tired, or tempted to quit. You’re not failing, you’re learning, adjusting, and growing a business that fits your brain. So pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and go again. You've got this.
