ADHD women are smart. They've built careers, show up, and deliver. But for many of them, money is the ball that keeps dropping. Why is that?  

If you've ever wondered why you can manage a career, a family, a household, and countless responsibilities, yet still struggle to submit an insurance claim, check your bank account, or stay on top of your finances, hit play!  

In this episode, Zarina introduces a powerful concept she calls The Interest Gap — the space between knowing finances are important and having enough interest, motivation, and dopamine to engage with them consistently.  

Maybe you've automated your bills but still avoid checking your bank account. Maybe impulsive spending keeps derailing your goals, or financial tasks that should take only a few minutes feel overwhelming.

If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.  Zarina shares her personal journey from debt, financial anxiety, and avoidance to building a healthy relationship with money. You'll learn how ADHD affects attention, motivation, and money management—and how creativity can become your greatest financial superpower.  

In This Episode: 

✔ What the Interest Gap is 

✔ Why ADHD brains struggle with money 

✔ The connection between dopamine and spending 

✔ How attention creates better financial decisions 

✔ Simple strategies to reduce money chaos

✔ How to stop impulsive spending without relying on willpower 

✔ Why creativity is your secret financial advantage

Are you a Gen-X woman who received a late diagnosis and are just beginning to see the impact it had on your life?

What about your professional life and career which ultimately, reflects on your financial situation due to how ADHD challenges hinder the ability to manage money?

There’s a lot to advocate for with ADHD and even more so when it comes to women and, to a certain extent, gen-x women who fall short as they approach retirement and face many financial struggles.

Despite the beliefs, baggage and habits you carry about money, lack of interest is probably what’s at the top of the list when you live with ADHD.

This episode covers many aspects to help you become knowledgeable about ADHD, the way it shows up in women and what changes when you start paying attention to your money and finances, so you can see what gets in the way and see a beacon of hope pointing toward a brighter future as you enter your third act.
