You found a new hyperfocus hobby or product, and a great deal, and , of course, that little hit of dopamine that comes with winning. A few paydays later, you're wondering where your spending money went. Sound familiar?

This week on Mind + Money, Val turns the tables and interviews Sherry about the time(s) she got spendy herself. Yes, this can even happen to a financial coach!

Together they talk about how she noticed it was happening, what she did after looking back at her purchases, and why telling an ADHD brain "never again" usually backfires.

Here's what's inside:

• The moment Sherry noticed her fun money was disappearing every payday

• How to look back at your purchases without the shame spiral

• What changes when every dollar gets a job before it can be spent

• Why a smaller, more frequent top up can feel less tight

• A client story about planning for a big trip, and what happened next

Spending less doesn't have to mean building a fence around yourself. Press play and see what you might want to try.
