Our powerful dopamine-seeking behaviour can lead us down some very dark roads, but having the awareness and some nurturing accountability can help us channel our hyperfocuses in a healthy way.

This week’s guest is money-saving specialist, Maddy Alexander-Grout and recently diagnosed ADHD mum of two. Her main passion is helping people save money, find discounts, and guide people to find support for their ADHD in the workplace.

During this week's episode, Kate and Maddy speak about:

• How Maddy's spending addiction manifested
• Dopamine seeking behaviours
• Shame and guilt from spending addiction
• Having a fear of dealing with money
• Why it's so important for people with ADHD to talk about money
• How Maddy dealt with her own debt
• How to recognise our strengths and challenges in business
• Finding support and understanding of our neurodivergence in business
• Tips to reduce your spending with ADHD
• What's changed in Maddy's life since her diagnosis
• How Maddy manages with her dopamine cravings now

You can connect with Maddy via her website, myviprewards.co.uk, Tik Tok, and Instagram.
