Release Your Money Shame by an ADHD Mone...

Kate Moryoussef
About this episode

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!

What You'll Learn:

  • Why money can feel so emotionally overwhelming for women with ADHD
  • How your nervous system is linked to financial stress and decision-making
  • Tina’s perspective on trial-and-error budgeting
  • Simple tools to reduce impulsive spending
  • How to talk to accountants or financial advisors about your ADHD needs
  • Why self-compassion and money affirmations can rewire unhelpful beliefs
  • How to start shifting from shame to empowerment in your financial life
  • Apps to help with financing, budgeting and accounting with ADHD

Timestamps:

  • 02:45 – What inspired Tina to write ADHD Money
  • 04:26 – The nervous system, ADHD, and money overwhelm
  • 07:57 - ADHD traits that complicate money management
  • 11:32 – Navigating finances through an ADHD lens
  • 15:05 – What to be mindful of when managing money
  • 26:03 – Reframing money as a tool for empowerment
  • 32:56 – Strategies to manage impulsive spending with ADHD

Whether you're working on impulsive spending, emotional budgeting, or simply trying to feel more in control of your finances, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and more hopeful about what’s possible.
