This episode dives deep into the challenges neurodivergent adults face with executive dysfunction and money management. If you've ever felt stuck thinking, "I know what I should do with my budgeting and savings, so why can't I follow through?" you're not alone. This episode explores why executive dysfunction impacts money savings and income management beyond just motivation or intelligence.

You'll learn about the critical role that executive function plays in consistently managing your finances, how burnout and overwhelm hinder budgeting efforts, and why traditional financial advice often misses the mark for neurodivergent individuals. Drawing on survey data from over 279 neurodivergent adults, we discuss common patterns like impulse spending, avoidance, and procrastination.

Discover why focusing on capacity gaps, not just knowledge, is key to sustainable financial success and how coaching tailored to executive dysfunction can transform your money habits. Practical strategies for working with your brain—not against it—are shared to help you reduce shame, manage money overwhelm, and build a financial routine that truly works.

If you're ready to take control of your income and budgeting with compassion and understanding, this episode is for you.
