ADHD and Money: The Hidden Interest Gap Keeping You Stuck
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.
