Professional women with ADHD often carry a secret - even from themselves. That secrecy fuels shame.
The secret? ADHD and struggles with money.
đź’¸ Debt.
đź’¸ Spending you can't seem to control.
đź’¸ Barely any savings.
Worst of all, living paycheck to paycheck - even though you "make good money."
If this resonates, you're in the right place. My channel has shifted to ADHD women and money, so together we can break these patterns & build financial stability & freedom.
I'll be sharing my own journey as a late-diagnosed ADHD woman - the struggles, what's helped (but wasn't enough), and how I'm shifting things now.
My past content on ADHD, late diagnosis, productivity, & big feelings is still here for you anytime.
If you've been struggling with money and want support, I'm glad you're here. Let's do this together.

Oof! It’s out there! In this first video in my shift towards ADHD and money, I am sharing a lot of vulnerable stuff. Why? Because I know I’m not alone and because shame loves secrecy. Starting with this video, I’m taking you on my journey to pay off $50k in debt, build savings for unexpected expenses, and save money to repair and remodel my older home and to do fun things like travel, concerts, and more.
In this first episode, I share the first three of five myths my ADHD brain had believed around money that contributed to me creating this debt. If you’ve been struggling with money and have an ADHD brain, this might be why.
Check it out!

It dropped! My latest video on how anxiety shows up first in perimenopause is now live. I’m especially excited about this video because it shares something I haven’t seen or heard anyone else talking about and it was brand new learning for me - even as a psychotherapist for 18 years!
Check it out here.

I just learned something really cool about another impact of perimenopause - one that I hadn’t read about or seen talked about yet. This moves beyond the common estrogen-dopamine conversation that gets so much attention. Tune in tomorrow to hear about it!

Honest question after yesterday's video.
When you think about your anxiety — what has it actually been protecting you from?
None of these fit? Tell me in the comments. I read every single one. 👇

It's live.
And I'll be honest — this one goes deep. Deeper than nervous system tools. Deeper than ADHD strategies.
Because what I've learned — both as a therapist and as someone who has lived this — is that your anxiety isn't just noise. It's been protecting something. Something real.
This video is about what that actually means. And what to do with it.
The Hidden Job of ADHD Anxiety is up now. Link below. 👇

Something I've been sitting with for a long time is dropping tomorrow.
If you've ever tried to push your anxiety down — calm it, fix it, just make it stop — and it keeps coming back anyway...
There's a reason for that. And it's not what most people think.
Tomorrow. Here on YouTube. đź–¤

You did the thing. You stopped white-knuckling your way through your to-do list. You stopped manufacturing urgency, stopped using the anxiety motor to push yourself across the finish line over and over again.
And then something unexpected happened.
The quiet showed up — and it didn't feel like relief. It felt like stalling. Like your brain finally got off the hamster wheel and just... stood there. Blinking.
If you have ADHD, this moment is real, and it's more common than anyone talks about. The nervous system work, the burnout recovery, the decision to stop running on stress — none of it comes with a roadmap for what fills that space next.
That's what this week's episode is.
Not a pep talk. Not a productivity hack. Something that actually accounts for how your ADHD brain is wired — and what it needs to move from a place that doesn't cost you everything.
