Money is SO personal, and no matter how prepared you think you are to meet your money goals, there are many factors that can throw a wrench into your carefully designed plans. There’s perhaps no greater hurdle to overcome than being part of a community that is historically diminished in conversations about money. 

Ellyce Fulmore, a queer ADHD money coach and neurodivergent content creator, joins us to talk about the social and personal identities that make you who you are — and how they shape the way we manage our money.
