In this episode of the Stress Less Podcast, I discuss my personal experiences of managing finances while living with ADHD. Starting from a memorable conversation in 2013, I walk you through the significant challenges ADHD can bring to financial management, such as impulsivity, difficulty with long-term planning, and task paralysis. I share insights on the 'ADHD tax' and explore how to recognize and handle emotional and environmental spending triggers. I also discuss practical strategies like automating finances, using visual aids, setting short-term goals, and finding the right budget tools—highlighting apps such as 'Today's Budget' and 'YNAB'. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of decluttering to understand spending habits and the benefits of having accountability partners or engaging with financial communities. Lastly, I introduce the 'Decide Guide' to facilitate room-by-room decluttering. This episode aims to provide relatable experiences and actionable steps to help manage money more effectively, especially for moms with ADHD.
