| How Does Money Shame Keep You Stuck When You Have ADHD? (Ep 130) | 05 nov. 2026 | 00:17:50 | |
Money shame is a big bag, and it's filled with a lot of heavy shit. For so many folks with ADHD, it's the quiet reason they put off opening their banking app, avoid looking at their numbers, or hold off on asking for support. In this episode, Val, a financial planner, and Sherry, a financial coach, open that bag up together.
If you've ever felt like you need to have it all together before you ask for help, this one's for you. Press play and give yourself a little grace while you're at it (because we're also really good at being a$$holes to ourselves).

| How Do You Curb ADHD Overspending Without Restricting? (Ep 129) | 22 oct. 2026 | 00:17:56 | |
You found a new hyperfocus hobby or product, and a great deal, and , of course, that little hit of dopamine that comes with winning. A few paydays later, you're wondering where your spending money went. Sound familiar? This week on Mind + Money, Val turns the tables and interviews Sherry about the time(s) she got spendy herself. Yes, this can even happen to a financial coach! Together they talk about how she noticed it was happening, what she did after looking back at her purchases, and why telling an ADHD brain "never again" usually backfires. Here's what's inside:

| How Can You Use Tech to Help Your ADHD Brain? (Ep 128) | 08 oct. 2026 | 00:23:10 | |
You picked up your phone to check one thing! Before you know it, it's 45 minutes later, and you've forgotten what that one thing was. Sound familiar? This week on Mind + Money, Sherry and Val dig into Sherry's latest rabbit hole: a new phone, a pack of tiny stickers, and a few automations that change how she uses it. Along the way, they talk about why willpower alone isn't much of a plan for an ADHD brain, and what happens when your tools take on some of the heavy lifting. Here's what's inside:

| How to Shift Your Money Systems Without ADHD Burnout (Ep 125) | 27 août 2026 | 00:17:50 | |
Ever build the "perfect" money system (or any other system or plan in your life), get three weeks in, and then completely abandon it? You're not alone, and it's not a discipline problem. Sherry and Val dig into why trying to fix everything about your money all at once is the fastest way to burn out an ADHD brain, and why going slower and smaller actually gets you further, faster.

| We React to a Reddit AITA About Splitting Money With Your Partner (Ep 124) | 13 août 2026 | 00:17:11 | |
Ever kept a secret tally of what your partner owes you? Or have your partner agree to something and then not hold up their end of the agreement? This week we're digging into a Reddit AITA post about a couple stuck in a slow-motion money standoff, and it's messier (and more relatable) than it sounds. The original poster has been quietly tracking IOUs for over a year: Venmo requests that go unanswered, dinners he always ends up covering, and a running total that's crept past a thousand dollars. He wants to know if keeping that list makes him the asshole. We dig into: - Why "not the asshole" doesn't mean the relationship is actually fine - The difference between tracking money and avoiding a real conversation - What a shared "fun account" could solve that a Venmo request never will - Why a cohabitation agreement is worth the awkward conversation, especially when only one of you owns the home This one's a good gut check for anyone who's ever let a money frustration fester instead of naming it out loud.

| Money Red Flags to Watch for When You're Dating (Ep 123) | 30 juil. 2026 | 00:30:17 | |
Dating someone new and things are going well? Before it gets too far, there's one conversation you don't want to keep putting off: money. In this episode, Sherry and Val talk about the financial red flags (and green flags) worth paying attention to when you're building a new relationship, whether you're a few dates in or already picturing a future together. They get into: - What actually counts as a financial deal breaker, and why you need to name yours before you're in too deep - How to bring up money without it turning into an interrogation - Why someone's money mindset can matter more than their credit card balance - What it means when debt shows up in the conversation, and how to talk about it without shame - How to build a shared money system that doesn't turn into an admin nightmare (especially with ADHD in the mix) This one's for anyone who's ever wondered how soon is too soon to talk about money with someone new.

| Rejection Sensitivity, Pricing, and Negotiating Your Worth with Kate Edwards (Ep 122) | 16 juil. 2026 | 00:37:17 | |
Why does putting your prices up or negotiating a higher salary feel so much scarier than it should? On this episode of Mind + Money, we're joined by Kate Edwards, founder of Eight Percent Coaching, to dig into rejection sensitivity, pricing, and why so many ADHD entrepreneurs (and employees) leave real money on the table. Here's what we get into: Why the fear that shows up right before a price increase or a negotiation isn't really about the number at all Kate's own 56% pay jump, and what she actually did to advocate for herself Why women with ADHD are earning meaningfully less than neurotypical women, and what that gap adds up to over a lifetime A simple business audit exercise that shows you exactly where your time and money are actually going How to negotiate a job offer (or a client contract) without losing the deal Learn more about Kate Edwards: Website: Eight Percent Coaching (www.eightpercentcoaching.com) Connect with us: Book a free call with Val (financial planner): https://calendly.com/valerie-stratford Book a free call with Sherry (financial coach): https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17480698&appointmentType=25737393 Val's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/you.me.and.money Sherry's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/moneymindsetfc Podcast Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mind.money.adhd.podcast Sherry's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moneymindsetcoaching | |||
| Do ADHD Entrepreneurs Need a Niche? (Ep 121) | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:15:52 | |
Note that we'll be slowing down a bit for the summer and will be switching to bi-weekly episodes because, well, Summer! Do you need a niche to run a successful business? The standard advice says yes, and it usually sounds like "pick a demographic." But what if that approach doesn't work for how your ADHD brain actually operates? In this episode, Sherry and Val dig into what it really means to find your people as an ADHD entrepreneur. Spoiler: it has a lot less to do with age ranges and job titles and a lot more to do with values, energy, and shared interests. They cover: - Why demographic-based niching often falls flat for ADHD entrepreneurs - What to look at instead when figuring out who your ideal client actually is - How sharing your values openly (even the polarising ones) attracts the right clients and repels the wrong ones - Why financial stability gives you the power to say no to clients who aren't a fit - How your gut instinct is your biggest asset on discovery calls, and why ADHDers often second-guess it even when it's right If you've been stuck trying to force your business into a niche box that doesn't feel right, this one's for you.

| Why Eating Is Hard With ADHD, and What Helps (Amy Jones) Ep 120 | 18 juin 2026 | 00:36:06 | |
Ever found yourself in the kitchen at 9pm, suddenly aware you have not eaten all day, and then felt that wave of shame wash over you? If feeding yourself feels weirdly hard, you are not broken and you are definitely not alone. This week we are joined by Amy Jones, a certified functional nutrition practitioner and ADHD life coach who was not diagnosed with ADHD until she was 45. She gets it, because she lives it too. We get into: - Why eating is actually an executive function task (and why that one reframe changes everything) - The shame spiral around food, and how to start stepping out of it - The surprising link between digestion, stomach acid, and feeling like garbage - Amy's PFF is your BFF approach to staying fuelled without overhauling your whole life - Meals as assembly, not recipes, for the days you have zero capacity left If you have ever wondered why you can know exactly what you should eat and still not do it, this is the episode for you.

| ADHD and Bank Accounts: The Setup That Actually Works (Ep 119) | 11 juin 2026 | 00:32:27 | |
How many bank accounts do you actually need? Where does money go once it hits your main account? And what even is a sinking fund? Should they be a part of your plan? In this episode, a financial coach and a financial planner stop talking theory and share their actual bank account setups. Sherry and Val walk through their full personal and business account structures, including the ones that are probably too many steps for most people, and the version they actually recommend to clients. We get into: - Why a separate spending account is the single most impactful change most people can make (and the one-step answer it gives you to "can I afford this?") - What sinking funds are and whether a more separated savings structure makes sense for your brain - Why the credit card works brilliantly for some people and quietly causes problems for others - What a self-employed person's business accounts actually need to look like - How to manage joint finances when both people in a household need some autonomy Whether you have been curious about how money nerds actually structure their accounts or you are tired of not knowing where your money goes before the next payday, this episode has answers.

| How We Cut Our Phone and Internet Bills in Half (Ep 118) | 04 juin 2026 | 00:11:39 | |
If you're Canadian and your phone and internet bill has been quietly creeping up for years, you're not imagining it. Most of us hit a point where we know we should deal with it and then... don't. This episode is about what happens when you finally get fed up enough to actually make the call. We cover: - What finally pushed Sherry to take action (and why loyalty to your provider might be costing you more than you think) - The strategy she used to negotiate with her current provider using a competing offer - Why calling the cancellation department is a completely different experience than calling regular customer service - New Canadian regulations around cell phone switching that are worth knowing before you call - A realistic time breakdown: how much effort this actually takes versus what you can save This one is equal parts relatable rant and genuinely useful strategy. If you've been putting off this conversation because it feels like too much, this episode might just give you the push you need.

| ADHD, Big Purchases, and the Loan Approval Trap (Ep 117) | 28 mai 2026 | 00:19:51 | |
Getting a pre-approval feels like a green light to sign on the dotted line. But the bank's math and the math of your actual life are two very different things. In this episode, Sherry and Val dig into one of the most common money traps out there: getting approved or pre-approved for a mortgage, car loan, or any big purchase and assuming that approval means you can actually afford it. Because the bank doesn't factor in your whole life, and buying at the top of your approval can quietly spiral into something that's really hard to get out of. They also get into the ADHD side of big financial decisions: the impulsivity, the difficulty imagining future you, and the urgency tactics that salespeople use to get you to sign before you've had time to think. Plus: the difference between a budget and cash flow, what a proper vibe check looks like before any big commitment, and a practical way to test whether a new payment actually fits your life before locking it in. Just because you're approved doesn't mean you should say yes.

| Gamify Your Goals: ADHD Motivation and Accountability (Ep 116) | 21 mai 2026 | 00:11:28 | |
What if the thing that finally got your ADHD brain to follow through on your goals wasn't discipline or willpower, it was your own money on the line?!! In this episode, we get into a goal-setting hack that uses real financial stakes to create the urgency and motivation that ADHD brains actually run on. We break down how it works, how to structure it, and how to make it sustainable without turning it into a burden for the people around you. We cover:
Plus, Sherry shared about a group challenge idea that she has been wanting to do for a while and hasn't taken action on yet.

| Manifestation Meets Money: Why You Need Both the Woo Woo and the Plan (Ep 115) | 14 mai 2026 | 00:11:05 | |
Can you actually manifest more money? Yes, and, there's a catch. In this episode, Sherry and Val dig into one of the most misunderstood concepts in the personal finance space: manifestation. They believe in the woo woo. They also believe you need a plan. And they're here to tell you why one without the other just doesn't work. What you'll hear in this episode:
Whether you're all in on manifestation or more of a show-me-the-spreadsheet person, this episode will meet you where you're at and give you something to work with.

| ADHD and Money: Why Your Budget Keeps Going Somewhere to Die (And How to Fix It) Ep 114 | 07 mai 2026 | 00:23:46 | |
You've got a beautiful budget. You downloaded all your transactions, colour-coded everything, and made a plan. And then what? It sits in a folder on your computer with the other 12 budget spreadsheets you've made over the years. There's a massive gap between making a budget and actually living by it. Sherry and Val break down what's missing and why most budgets fail the moment real life happens. Bad news: you need more than a pretty spreadsheet. We talk about the number one question your budget should be able to answer before you spend money, why tracking every transaction won't save you, and the account setup that makes overspending way harder. Plus, what to do when the dopamine wears off, and you stop caring about your budget categories. If you've ever wondered why you keep making budgets that go nowhere, this episode walks you through what actually works for ADHD brains. Less tracking, more structure. Less shame, more systems.

| AITA: Should My Parents Control My Bank Account as an Adult? Ep 113 | 30 avr. 2026 | 00:10:48 | |
Am I the asshole for wanting financial privacy? Sherry and Val break down this Reddit AITA story and explore the gray area between parental concern and financial control. Yes, technically you're an adult. But mom's probably coming from a place of wanting to help, even if it's rolling out in the worst possible way. We talk about why going through transactions line by line creates shame and resentment instead of trust, how to have the boundary conversation without yelling, and why mom might be dealing with her own money trauma or insecurity. This episode covers setting firm financial boundaries while living at home, why mom might be freaking out about your spending even when you're doing fine, the secret bank account strategy if things get really bad, and how to shift the conversation from berating to support. We also dig into why this kind of control accelerates the timeline for moving out and damages the relationship long term. Not the asshole. But both sides need to talk about why this is happening and what boundaries look like going forward.

| ADHD Entrepreneurs: Why You're Probably Charging Way Too Little (And How to Fix It) Ep 112 | 23 avr. 2026 | 00:21:58 | |
If you love what you do, how can you justify charging real money for it? If it feels easy to you, shouldn't it cost less? Nope, not at all! Sherry and Val break down why ADHD entrepreneurs, especially women, wildly undercharge for their services. We talk about the thought patterns that keep pricing low: "I love to do it so it feels weird to charge," "It feels easy to me so how can I justify this price," and the absolute kicker, offering friends and family discounts before they even ask. This episode covers knowing your numbers before you go full time, why you need to stop thinking hourly and shift to value based pricing, the 30 percent tax rule that saves your future self from panic, and why, if you haven't increased prices in the last 12 months, this is your sign. We also get into the incremental price increase strategy that builds confidence without the leap, how investment level impacts client results, and what to do when pricing feels emotionally charged. Whether you're starting out or you've been in business for years, double your prices. Seriously. You're an expert even when it feels easy. Price accordingly.

| Is ADHD a Superpower? The Truth About Strengths and Struggles (Ep 111) | 16 avr. 2026 | 00:14:46 | |
Some days you knock 12 things off your to-do list. The next day? You can barely get off the couch. ADHD gets called a superpower a lot, but that framing misses the whole other side of the coin.Sherry and Val talk about the polarising nature of the superpower narrative. Yes, there are areas where ADHD feels like a strength: hyper-focus as intensity, connecting dots others miss, wide awareness that helps with client relationships and creative problem-solving. But calling it a superpower across the board invalidates the real struggles with executive dysfunction, overstimulation, and the exhaustion that comes from being tuned into everything all the time.We explore why the superpower language can create more shame around the things ADHD makes harder, why perfectionism and overworking often show up as compensation, and what it means to honour both the strengths and the challenges without forcing either into a neat little box.Whether you see ADHD as 22% superpower or something else entirely, this conversation digs into what it actually feels like to live with ADHD when the world expects you to fly but you have no control over when or where it happens.Connect with us:Book a free call with Val (financial planner): https://calendly.com/valerie-stratfordBook a free call with Sherry (financial coach): https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17480698&appointmentType=25737393Val's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/you.me.and.moneySherry's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/moneymindsetfcPodcast Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mind.money.adhd.podcastSherry's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moneymindsetcoaching | |||
| From Mission First to Joy First: Why Self Care Isn't Enough for ADHD Brains (with Julie Barker) Ep 110 | 09 avr. 2026 | 00:35:40 | |
You're getting the massage, taking the vacation, doing all the self care things. But underneath, you're still thinking about how this rest will help you do more for other people. That's mission first, and it's burning you out. Julie Barker joins Sherry to talk about the shift from mission first to joy first living. We explore why people in helping professions and those with ADHD often struggle with selfless service programming, why self care doesn't work when it comes from obligation, and what it means to build an 80% joy driven life.

| The Cost of Not Looking at Your Credit Card (And Why ADHD Makes It Worse) Ep 109 | 02 avr. 2026 | 00:17:27 | |
Sherry lost her credit card two weeks ago. Is she worried? Not even a little, and she shares exactly why in this episode. This episode is about what happens when you're tuned out with your money, not from a place of shame, but from a place of how you can shift things a little to save you money and make your life easier. The costs of not looking at your statements can add up fast. From subscriptions you forgot to cancel that have been auto-renewing for three years, to fraud charges you never caught, and so much more. We talk about why ADHD makes it so easy to avoid statements, the shame that builds when you haven't looked in months, and the simple five-minute weekly habit that catches all of this before it costs you. Whether you've been avoiding your credit card for six months or you're trying to categorize 12 months of transactions and burning out, this episode offers a lower-the-bar approach that actually works when the novelty wears off.
