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.

Takeaways

• Failure is not the end; it's a lesson.
• Reframing failure as feedback can change your perspective.
• Resilience is key to overcoming setbacks.
• Rejection sensitivity can hinder progress; recognize it.
• Your identity is separate from your business outcomes.
• Embrace the messy middle; it's where growth happens.
• Build a business that aligns with your neurodivergent strengths.
• Learning from failures is crucial for success.
• You only get paid for completed work; finish what you start.
• You can do it your way; success is personal.

In this episode, Kim Raine is joined by the phenomenal Kate Moryoussef, host of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast and author of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit. This rich and honest conversation dives into the emotional and practical realities of living and working with ADHD as a woman, particularly as an entrepreneur.

Kim and Kate reflect on the early days of navigating ADHD diagnosis, the role of hormones, and why Kate’s podcast became such a beacon for women feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or burnt out.

They explore how burnout often goes unrecognised until it’s too late, how to begin spotting the early signs, and why it’s so essential to honour your energy cycles, create spacious routines, and reconnect with joy, creativity, and community. Kate opens up about her own challenges running a purpose-led digital business with ADHD, from managing overwhelm to finding the right team and learning to give herself grace.

She also shares powerful insight into why self-compassion is such a crucial tool for women with ADHD, and how shifting the narrative from “I’m the problem” to “this is my ADHD” can be life-changing. The conversation closes with a heartfelt call to trust your intuition, back yourself, and allow your unique brain to lead the way, even if it looks different from what everyone else is doing. For anyone navigating business, womanhood, or wellbeing with ADHD, this episode is full of both wisdom and warmth.
