I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!Does thinking about money make something in your body tighten? Your chest pound and throat close?Maybe you avoid opening your banking app for weeks. Maybe you know something needs to change but every system you've tried has lasted about three days. Maybe you've spent money you didn't mean to spend, not because you're irresponsible, but because in that moment it was the only thing that made you feel okay.You are not bad with money.You just haven't had a system built for your brain.This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Esther Bangura, neurodivergent financial educator, ADHD and money coach, and host of the Neurodivergent Money Management podcast. After years of debt, stress spending, and burnout, Esther paid off £18,000 and bought her own home. Instead of following conventional financial advice, she used systems that actually worked with her ADHD brain; and now she helps other high-earning neurodivergent women do the same.For so many of us, spending isn't really about the thing we're buying, it's about control, relief, and finding calm for a nervous system caught in overwhelm.In this episode, we explore:Esther's realisation of her spending habits and gaining a sense of controlWhy her own ADHD diagnosis transformed the way she supports her clientsWhy the same money systems doesn't work for everyone, and how to find what actually works for youHow to understand your spending patterns and energy levels and use that data to build a strategy that sticksHow burnout and financial stress affected Esther's fertility and her experience of miscarriageWhat needs to change in financial education for neurodivergent peoplePractical tips for ADHD business owners managing their financesThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt shame around money or avoided the conversation because it felt too exposing. Esther brings warmth, honesty and genuine practical wisdom to a topic that our community doesn't talk about anywhere near enough.Financial peace is possible for our brains and this episode shows you what that can look like.Support and information on topics raised in today's episode: The Miscarriage Association Website The Miscarriage Association helpline and support servicesStepChange Debt CharityTimestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing01:12 - Navigating Financial Challenges as a Neurodivergent Individual10:59 - Understanding ADHD and Financial Management21:41 - Exploring Financial Challenges of Neurodivergent Women35:13 - Navigating Transitions: Understanding Yourself and Your Finances40:06 - Navigating Burnout and Self-Employment44:42 - Navigating Neurodivergent Business StrategiesThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.
