In this episode of Organizing an ADHD Brain, Megs is joined by financial therapist Lindsay for an honest conversation about money, debt, and personal growth for ADHD brains.

If you’ve ever felt shame around finances, struggled with consistency, or believed past money decisions defined your worth, this episode is for you.

Megs and Lindsay explore the powerful overlap between financial organization and home organization, starting with a crucial reframe: debt and clutter are morally neutral. Neither is a personal failure. Both are signals that systems, support, and regulation matter more than willpower.

You’ll learn:

Why persistence matters more than consistency with ADHD
How to use financial data without self-criticism
What “money dates” are and how they reduce avoidance
How to externalize your brain when money feels overwhelming
The impact of social media on financial shame and comparison
Why community and coaching support follow-through and regulation

Lindsay also shares personal insights from her own financial journey, including navigating major life transitions and redefining success on her own terms.

This episode is a reminder that financial growth, like organizing your home or managing ADHD, isn’t about perfection. It’s about self-trust, awareness, and small sustainable actions.

Lindsey is your favorite financial therapist for women and couples, here to help you feel excited about money! (Yes, it's possible!) Money isn't just a math problem; there is always so much more to the equation. Merging behavioral therapy and financial education, Lindsey helps you live your dream life!
