538 | ADHD and money: impulse spending, overwhelm and what can help

This weeks episode is sponsored by Charles Stanley http://charlesstanley.sjv.io/6k7oEQ

Managing money can be difficult at the best of times, but ADHD can bring its own set of challenges – from impulse spending and planning ahead to remembering deadlines, making decisions and simply finding the mental energy to deal with your finances.

In this episode, Amelia is joined by neurodivergent money expert and ADHD coach Abby Birch to look at the relationship between ADHD and money.

They discuss why conventional money advice doesn't always work for neurodivergent people, how emotions and executive function can affect financial decisions, and some practical ways to make managing your money feel more achievable.

They also talk about impulse spending, financial anxiety, guilt and embarrassment around money, and why finding systems that work with your brain can be far more useful than trying to force yourself to manage money the way you think you "should".
