In this episode of Neurodivergent Money Management, host Esther Bangura speaks directly to high-earning neurodivergent adults who still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed about money despite earning a good income. Esther unpacks why traditional money advice often fails neurodivergent brains, explores the emotional and cognitive challenges behind money stress, and offers practical, shame-free steps to help you find calm and clarity with your finances.

Highlights

• Why earning more doesn’t automatically reduce money stress for neurodivergent adults
• Survey insights: 77% struggle with financial planning, 68% experience avoidance, and 61% feel out of control despite earning enough
• The three main reasons money stress persists are increased cognitive load, emotional weight of money, and systems that don’t fit neurodivergent needs
• Practical strategies: automating one payment, creating a “money home” for documents, and practicing neutral awareness
• A compassionate reframe: you are not broken—your brain just works differently

Invitation to Esther’s workshop for high earners who want to build money systems that actually work for their brain.
