If you have ADHD and feel out of control with money, impulse spending, or online shopping… this might explain why.

This episode breaks down why traditional budgeting fails ADHD brains, and what actually works instead.

We’re talking about dopamine-driven spending, impulsive purchases, money shame, and the simple systems that help you reduce overspending without relying on willpower.

If you’ve ever said “it was only $20” five times in one day, struggled with impulse buying, or felt frustrated that your ADHD affects your finances, this conversation will make you feel seen and give you practical tools you can actually use.

Because managing money with ADHD isn’t about discipline.
It’s about designing better systems.

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.
