We are talking about why money can be hard and what we can do to make it better. Takeaways ADHD can complicate money management due to impulsivity. Survival mode affects our ability to think long-term about finances. Shopping can provide temporary relief from dysregulation. Rushing leads to poor financial decisions and increased spending.

I dive into common beliefs that contribute to dysregulation, such as "I' m behind and I need to catch up", and offers strategies for shifting to more regulating beliefs.

There are three layers of regulation: nervous system, thoughts and beliefs, and behavior. Shifting beliefs can lead to better regulation and improved functioning. The idea of being 'done' is a myth; life is ongoing. Scarcity mindset can lead to feelings of desperation and overwhelm. The dangling carrot philosophy keeps individuals in a cycle of stress.
