    Ep 25: Why Budgeting Has Never Worked For You (and what actually does!)

    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 Podcast Request Form: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSBSNNlG5lswwD7StMUdsDe4D6Fd97cscK0PEOCir-Kk64lw/viewform?usp=header⁠⁠⁠ Email me at adhdmoneypodcast@gmail.com if you have any questions, if you'd like to submit a question for the podcast, or would like to request podcast topics.

    Ep 24: The Truth About Lifestyle Creep & ADHD

    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 Email me at adhdmoneypodcast@gmail.com if you have any questions, if you'd like to submit a question for the podcast, or would like to request podcast topics.

    Ep 22: Avoiding Your Money Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Care

    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 adhdmoneypodcast@gmail.com if you have any questions, if you'd like to submit a question for the podcast, or would like to request podcast topics.

    In this week’s episode of The ADHD Money and Finance podcast, we discuss emotional spending – a challenge many face, especially within the ADHD community. We explore how emotional spending is often a response to underlying feelings, rather than a lack of financial discipline. We talk through tools like the emotions wheel, along with practical strategies such as the 24-hour rule and tuning in to your self-talk, to help manage spending habits more mindfully. Plus, we chat about an upcoming workshop focused on emotional spending, packed with tools, insights, and support. If you’d like to register, please see the link below.
