Impulsive spending isn’t random—it’s not a flaw, and isn’t about willpower, discipline, or being “bad with money.” In this episode, you’ll discover why ADHD brains use spending as a regulation shortcut, especially during stress, boredom, overload, and emotional exhaustion.
• Why ADHD brains crave fast relief
• How dopamine drives impulsive spending
• Why guilt after spending proves it’s not recklessness
• The hidden emotional triggers behind money decisions
• A powerful reframe that can interrupt the pattern
If you’ve ever said “I’m just bad with money”, this episode will change how you see yourself—and your brain.
You’re not reckless. Your brain is regulating.
