Show Notes
In this episode of ADHD Money & Finance, we dive into why we need to talk more about money - whether with your kids, your partner or within your community. From breaking the stigma around financial conversations to making money topics more accessible for ADHD brains, we explore how open discussions can improve financial confidence, reduce stress, and help us make better money decisions. We also touch on creating judgment-free spaces, having regular money dates, and engaging with financial conversations online - plus how neurodivergent individuals can navigate financial content in a way that works for them.
Start with just one conversation this week and see how it changes your relationship with money!

If budgeting has never worked for you, it’s not because you’re bad with money. Most budgeting systems are too complicated, too rigid, and not built for real life — which is why so many people start strong and then fall off. In this episode, I break down the real reasons budgeting hasn’t stuck for you, and what actually needs to change. If you’re ready for a simpler, more practical way to manage your money, this is where to start. -------------------------------------------------------- Waitlist for The Budget That Actually Works course: https://beacons.ai/adhdmoney
Why does earning more money sometimes leave you feeling like you’re no further ahead financially? In this episode, we’re talking about lifestyle creep — and why it can hit people with ADHD especially hard. Lifestyle creep happens when your spending increases as your income increases, often without you even noticing. But when you have ADHD, this pattern is often driven by dopamine, emotional regulation, and the need to reduce overwhelm in daily life. Instead of treating this like a discipline problem, we explore the real reasons lifestyle creep happens and how ADHD-friendly systems can help you stay in control of your money as your income grows. If you’ve ever wondered why earning more hasn’t automatically improved your financial situation, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on — and what to do about it. ----------------------------------------------------------- Podcast Request Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSBSNNlG5lswwD7StMUdsDe4D6Fd97cscK0PEOCir-Kk64lw/viewform?usp=header

If you’ve been ignoring your bank account, putting off your budget, or telling yourself you’ll “deal with it next week”… this episode is for you. In this conversation, I’m unpacking why money avoidance isn’t laziness or irresponsibility — especially for those of us with ADHD. We’ll talk about nervous system responses, emotional overload, and why shame actually makes financial avoidance worse. You’ll also learn some gentle 5-minute resets to help you re-enter your finances without overwhelm. Because managing money isn’t about becoming more disciplined. It’s about building safety and self-trust. ---------------------------------------------------------- Podcast Request Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSBSNNlG5lswwD7StMUdsDe4D6Fd97cscK0PEOCir-Kk64lw/viewform?usp=header Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions, if you'd like to submit a question for the podcast, or would like to request podcast topics.
