Episode 263: How Feel More Financially Empowered Alongside Your ADHD with THE ADHD Money Expert
When it comes to managing finances with ADHD, it’s rarely just about numbers or spreadsheets; it’s about breaking things down and finding what works for you. We know that money is a sensitive topic, but throw ADHD in the mix, and you'll find this conversation incredibly validating and hopefully very helpful!
In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Tina Mathams, ADHD money coach and author of ADHD Money. Together, we explore how ADHD impacts our relationship with finances and why traditional advice often falls short.
Tina shares practical, compassionate strategies to help you manage impulsive spending, understand your money story, and create habits that truly work for your brain. Whether money feels overwhelming or confusing, this episode will help you feel more empowered and less alone.
My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!
