ADHD & Money
An interview with Jodie L Stauffer, CFP Money Coach and Financial Planner
Money. If you’ve ever hidden a credit card bill, ignored a parking ticket until it multiplied, or felt like you’re “bad at money” despite being smart and capable then this episode is for you.
In Episode 4 of ADHDFM, I open up about my own messy money story, the secrecy, the guilt, the overspending, the inevitable “I’ll deal with it later” spiral, and the very real tightness in my chest that still shows up when I talk about it.
Then I sit down with financial planning expert Jodie Stauffer, who was also diagnosed with ADHD later in life, to talk about what is going on when ADHD and money collide, and how to build systems that work with our brains, not against them.
What We Talk About
- The “ADHD tax” (subscriptions, late fees, parking tickets, forgotten returns)
- How impulsive spending is often dopamine-seeking and not irresponsibility
- Why traditional budgeting advice often fails ADHD brains
If this episode resonates with you, especially the secrecy, guilt, or “I should be better at this” voice, you are absolutely not alone.
