ADHD & Finances: More Than Just Impulsivity?!

The ADHD Skills Lab

Impulse spending is a product of more than just ADHD impulsivity, and we’re excited to untangle what that means!
On this week’s episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we went looking for a research-backed financial decision-making framework—and what we found surprised us! There isn’t as much research on ADHD and financial decision making as we expected, which makes this episode feel even more special.
Curious about what’s inside?

• Discover your financial decision-making style!
• Why impulsive spending might have less to do with ADHD than you think…
• Explore the paradox of ADHD: A blessing or a curse for your career?

Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
