Ever feel like buying something new becomes a full-blown research project? Or maybe you’re on the flip side, hitting “buy now” before you’ve really thought it through?

In this episode of the Mind & Money Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we make purchasing decisions — from smartwatches to sports bras — and the lessons you can take into your own financial life.

As two financial professionals (and ADHD brains), we get real about:

• Why ADHD can make decision-making about money feel so overwhelming

• The balance between thoughtful research and “fuck it, I’ll try it” moments

• How to use return policies, wants lists, and budgeting to make smarter purchases

• Why your spending choices don’t need to be perfect to still move you toward your goals

Whether you’re debating a smartwatch upgrade, a big appliance, or just everyday purchases, this episode will help you see your own money habits in a new light — and give you strategies to make decisions without the guilt spiral.
