ADHD and Money

Too many entrepreneurs stay quiet about debt. They hide it, carry shame around it, and convince themselves they’re the only one struggling — especially when they’re earning six figures or more. But here’s the truth: debt isn’t failure. It’s feedback. And understanding it is the first step to financial freedom. This episode is your honest, practical guide to getting out of debt and staying out of it. We’re talking about the mindset shifts, the money systems, and the strategic steps that actually work (without the shame or jargon). In this episode, I’m sharing: 💭 Why the psychology of money is the foundation to any debt-free plan 💸 The difference between “good” and “bad” debt and how to tell which you’ve got ⚖️ The truth about IVAs, consolidation, and what to avoid 📊 How to use the Snowball and Avalanche methods to clear debt strategically 🧠 Why mindset and consistency matter more than perfection 💚 How to rebuild your financial confidence and start creating real wealth If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or exhausted trying to get out of debt, this is your reminder, you are not alone, and you are not broken. You just need the right plan, the right mindset, and a bit of patience. 🎧 Plug in, take a deep breath, and let’s rebuild your financial power, one step at a time.

I’ve seen too many people hand over their financial power, quietly, unknowingly, in relationships, in business, and in everyday life. This episode is one I had to make. Because we need to talk about the unspoken abuse that’s keeping people stuck, stressed, and silently struggling. We’re pulling back the curtain on financial manipulation - how it shows up in relationships, how it’s disguised in sales tactics, and how it damages confidence, clarity, and control. In this episode, I’m sharing: 💡 What financial manipulation really looks like (it’s not always loud) 💡 How it shows up in marriages, friendships — and business coaching calls 💡 The dangerous overlap between money, control, and coercion 💡 My own experience and how financial education helped me survive 💡 Why ethical sales must replace pressure-based tactics 💡 What real, conscious wealth looks like — and how to protect yourself If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or ashamed around money, this is your wake up call. Because financial empowerment isn’t about earning more. It’s about reclaiming your power. 🎧 Plug in, breathe deep, and let’s talk about what no one else will.
