    ADHD & Money

    ADHD & Money An interview with Jodie L Stauffer, CFP Money Coach and Financial Planner Money. If you’ve ever hidden a credit card bill, ignored a parking ticket until it multiplied, or felt like you’re “bad at money” despite being smart and capable then this episode is for you. In Episode 4 of ADHDFM, I open up about my own messy money story, the secrecy, the guilt, the overspending, the inevitable “I’ll deal with it later” spiral, and the very real tightness in my chest that still shows up when I talk about it. Then I sit down with financial planning expert Jodie Stauffer, who was also diagnosed with ADHD later in life, to talk about what is going on when ADHD and money collide, and how to build systems that work with our brains, not against them. What We Talk About The “ADHD tax” (subscriptions, late fees, parking tickets, forgotten returns) How impulsive spending is often dopamine-seeking and not irresponsibility Why traditional budgeting advice often fails ADHD brains If this episode resonates with you, especially the secrecy, guilt, or “I should be better at this” voice, you are absolutely not alone.

    ADHD and Organizing

    ADHD & Organizing An interview with Lorinda Dishington Ortiz, Organizing with Lorinda Organizing, cleaning, and decluttering with ADHD can feel like a never-ending cycle of good intentions, overwhelm, and… doom piles. In this episode of ADHD FM, I’m digging into why organization is so hard for ADHD brains and why so many traditional organizing rules just don’t work for us. I share some of my own struggles (and a few hard-earned wins), like why deadlines help me get started, why I’ve stopped believing that “less stuff is always better,” and how things like open shelving, clear containers, and having multiples of everyday items actually make my life easier and not harder. Then I’m joined by organizing expert Lorinda Dishington Ortiz, a registered nurse, ADHD organizing specialist, and fellow neurodivergent woman who truly gets it.  We talk about: What doom piles really are (and why they’re not a personal failure) Clutter blindness, perfectionism, and why “I’ll do it later” rarely works Why organizing is an executive function nightmare and how to work with your brain instead of against it. Gamifying boring tasks, using timers, rewards, and even alter egos This episode isn’t about becoming a minimalist or having a Pinterest-perfect home. It’s about finding systems that reduce friction, letting go of shame, and remembering that clutter is morally neutral and it does not define your worth. If organizing has always felt overwhelming, paralyzing, or just plain impossible, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone and a lot more hopeful.

    Feeding Yourself with ADHD

    Food, Creativity, and Feeding Yourself with ADHD An interview with Catherine Smart (Not From Concentrate) In this episode of ADHD FM, Elianna sits down with Catherine Smart, founder of Not From Concentrate, to explore the deeply intertwined relationship between ADHD, food, creativity, and daily life. As someone who works as a food coach and culinary educator, Elianna brings her own experience and professional perspective into the conversation, especially around how ADHD shapes our relationship with cooking, meal planning, and feeding ourselves consistently. Together, they unpack what it really means to feed yourself when structure feels hard, motivation comes in waves, and pleasure matters just as much as practicality. Catherine shares candid insights into her relationship with food and exercise, her career path, and the systems (and hacks) that actually work for an ADHD brain. The conversation covers everything from hyperfixation meals and hosting strategies to meal planning, organization, and reducing food waste while also naming the very real challenge of having to figure out what to eat every single day. At its core, this episode is about permission: to prioritize creativity, to seek pleasure in food, and to let go of perfection. ✨ Key Takeaways Creativity and pleasure are essential when it comes to food and ADHD Meal planning and reducing food waste can be especially challenging with ADHD, but flexible systems help Hyperfixation meals can be a tool, not a failure. Feeding yourself consistently is real labor and it’s okay to acknowledge that.
