The Emotional Weight of Financial Management

Managing finances can evoke strong feelings of guilt, shame, and fear of judgment, particularly for individuals with ADHD. Many clients often believe they are the only ones struggling with these issues, leading to heightened feelings of isolation. The hosts liken the topic of finances to hygiene, indicating that conversations around money can be just as loaded and difficult.
