The number of personal finance experts out there can feel overwhelming, and when we try to follow their ’must-follow’ steps to financial success and fail, we can feel defeated.
Together, we will help you ditch the shame and make changes that feel aligned with the life you want to live!
We’ll also share things we learn about ADHD along the way and what works for us to find balance in our lives.
How Can You Use Tech to Help Your ADHD Brain? (Ep 128)
You picked up your phone to check one thing! Before you know it, it's 45 minutes later, and you've forgotten what that one thing was. Sound familiar?
This week on Mind + Money, Sherry and Val dig into Sherry's latest rabbit hole: a new phone, a pack of tiny stickers, and a few automations that change how she uses it.
Along the way, they talk about why willpower alone isn't much of a plan for an ADHD brain, and what happens when your tools take on some of the heavy lifting.
Here's what's inside:
Why a "dumb phone" mode might be the boundary your brain has been asking for
The free apps and low-cost gadgets Sherry is pairing together to make it happen
What your phone habits have to do with your spending
A few honest warnings before you go all in
How to start with one small thing instead of the whole rabbit hole
Technology can't do everything for us, but it can help instead of hinder. Press play and see where you land.

How Do You Trick Your ADHD Brain Into Doing Boring Tasks? (Ep 127)
In a constant cycle of knowing you should do the things, but not sure how to actually get them done?
In this episode, Sherry and Val get into the some of the deals they quietly make with themselves to get things done, and what tricks can help you when literally nobody is watching.
They get into:
Why deadlines, even fake self-imposed ones, are so effective for ADHD brains, from closing a bank account to save $20 in fees to booking a doctor's appointment before the meds run out
The sticky note trick for when the big to-do list feels like too much
Why so many ADHD entrepreneurs avoid invoicing, and what actually gets it done
Giving your inner critic a name (yes, really) so you can tell it where to go
How gamifying boring tasks keeps the dopamine coming when the usual tricks stop working
If there's something that's been sitting on your list for a week and a half, this episode might be the push you need.

Real ADHD Money Coaching: Tracy's Story (Ep 126)
What actually happens when you hand your real money details over to a financial coach and a financial planner?
Tune in to find out!
In this episode, Sherry and Val walk through a live money coaching session with a listener named Tracy, who volunteered to have her whole financial picture reviewed on air.
Here's what gets covered:
Why following a budget is so much harder than making one, especially for ADHD brains
The "if there's money in the account, I have money" trap, and why it's so easy to fall into
How one big annual expense can throw off an otherwise solid system
What changes when bills and spending finally get separated
Tracy's honest reaction to hearing the truth about her own numbers
No lecture, no shame, just a real look at what's actually getting in the way, and what to try instead.
Learn more about Tracy:
Tracy is a professional woman living in the U.S. who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, shortly after her son's own diagnosis. She's happily divorced (twice) and sharing her life these days with her true love, her dog, Bruno.
