| A Simple Money Routine for ADHD Women When Energy Drops | 26 Sep 2026 | 00:28:29 | |
You may be perfectly capable of managing your money when you have enough energy, focus, and bandwidth. Then your capacity drops. Life gets busy. You're tired. Your brain has too many other things competing for attention. And suddenly the financial tasks you normally know how to handle start slipping out of view. If you have ADHD, that change in capacity can make staying connected to your money much harder—and trying to fix it by demanding even more consistency from yourself isn't the answer. In this episode of Phenomenally ADHD, we're looking at a simpler way to manage money when your energy and attention aren't always predictable. I walk you through three practical financial checkpoints that create a way to reconnect with your money without requiring you to monitor everything perfectly every day. You'll learn: • Why changing capacity can make financial routines harder to maintain The goal isn't to build a money routine for the version of you who always has plenty of time, focus, and energy. It's to create one you can still find your way back to when you don't. Any questions?

| [Coaching Tips] How I Self-Regulate as a Late-Diagnosed Women with ADHD | 18 Sep 2026 | 00:11:07 | |
You arrive home after a demanding day—but instead of immediately going inside, you sit quietly in the car for a few minutes. Sound familiar? For women with ADHD, seemingly small behaviors like this can reveal something important about how our brains handle transitions, stimulation and the constant starting and stopping that fills a typical workday. In this episode, I’m sharing why I’ve learned to stop fighting some of the things my brain naturally wants to do and start asking a much more useful question. I’ll share how sitting quietly in my car helps me transition after a busy day, what an uncomfortable moment during a work meeting taught me about advocating for my ADHD brain, and why the exact same principle can change the way we approach money. Because managing money isn’t one simple task. It involves checking, deciding, starting, stopping, remembering and transitioning—and when the system you’re using doesn’t fit your brain, every one of those steps can become harder than it needs to be. In this episode, you’ll learn:
Episode Highlight One of the most useful questions I’ve learned to ask myself when something isn’t working is: “How can I do this differently?” The goal isn’t to become better at forcing yourself through a system that doesn’t work for you. It’s to find a way of doing the task that does. Also in This Episode I introduce Money Investigation, a five-mission experience where you become a “money PI” and investigate your own finances—what your numbers are, where your money goes and what’s creating the financial chaos or uncertainty you’re experiencing. It’s intentionally designed around things the ADHD brain responds to: interest, creativity, simplicity and play. The bigger goal? Building your financial self-trust. If this episode makes you think of another woman with ADHD who keeps trying harder when she may simply need a different approach, share it with her. Any questions?

| How to Make Boring Money Tasks Interesting for Your ADHD Brain | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:22:04 | |
You make good money. You know what you should be doing with it. But staying interested enough to actually manage it? That can be a completely different story with ADHD. When money feels boring, repetitive, overwhelming, or too far removed from any immediate reward, even simple financial tasks can become surprisingly difficult to start and stick with. In this episode, I’m exploring why interest matters so much for the ADHD brain and how making money more engaging can reduce some of the friction around saving, planning, tracking, and following through. We’ll talk about why retirement can feel too far away to motivate action, why money tasks that seem “simple” can be mentally exhausting, and why your brain may naturally look for shortcuts when something feels complicated. I’ll also share a real coaching example of how simplifying a monthly cash flow plan helped one of my clients make the process much easier to complete. And I’ll give you one question you can use immediately. Because the goal isn’t to force yourself to become fascinated by money. It’s to make managing it interesting enough, simple enough, and rewarding enough that your brain is more willing to engage. If money is the one part of your life where you keep thinking, “Why can’t I just get this together?” this episode is for you. 💬 What part of managing money bores your brain the most? Tell me in the comments. If you want more conversations about ADHD, women, money, and creating financial systems that work with the way your brain actually functions, subscribe to the channel.

| [Coaching Tips] When Knowing What to do With Money Isn't Enough When You Have ADHD (And What to Do About it) | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:13:13 | |
You’re successful in areas of your life that require far more complicated decisions than paying a bill or checking an account balance. So why can money be the thing you just… can’t make yourself deal with? If you have ADHD, knowing what to do with money and being able to start doing it are not necessarily the same thing. And that distinction matters. In this episode, we’re looking beneath the usual “I just need to be more disciplined” explanation and exploring what may actually be happening when you repeatedly struggle to start financial tasks you know are important. You’ll hear why something as seemingly straightforward as “manage my money” can create so much friction: too many decisions, no obvious starting point, working-memory demands, delayed rewards, boredom, overwhelm, and the emotions money itself can carry. I’ll also share what I personally do on days when my capacity seems to have taken a vacation—and why asking yourself for the three tiniest things you can start and finish may be more useful than trying to force your brain into a task it currently experiences as enormous. In this bonus episode, you’ll learn: • Why knowing what to do doesn’t automatically make starting easier • Why importance and motivation don’t tell the whole story • Four common reasons an ADHD brain can struggle to initiate a task • Why money management contains far more invisible steps than it appears to • How decision fatigue and working-memory overload can show up with finances • Why fear, guilt, frustration, and overwhelm can make ordinary financial tasks feel loaded • What happens when your physical, emotional, or mental capacity is depleted • How the “three tiniest things” approach can help reduce the activation threshold One idea to take with you You may not always need to make yourself try harder. Sometimes you need to make the starting point smaller. As I say in this episode: “Starting becomes easier for your brain when the starting threshold is reduced.” If you know what you want to change with your money but repeatedly struggle to get started or follow through, my Breakthrough Consultation is designed to help identify the ADHD money challenge creating the most friction and turn one financial goal into a personalized strategy and action plan. 👩💻 Breakthrough consultation with Zarina Any questions?

| How to Avoid Back-to-School Overspending With ADHD | 28 Aug 2026 | 00:23:52 | |
You’re already juggling work, family, schedules, lunches, activities, and a million little decisions—then back-to-school hits and somehow the spending starts adding up faster than expected. If you have ADHD, that may not be a coincidence. Back-to-school can amplify the exact challenges that already make money harder to manage: time blindness, decision overload, last-minute urgency, planning friction, and the pressure to make everything work. And sometimes, overspending isn’t really about impulsiveness. It’s about your brain trying to make life easier. In this episode, I’m breaking down why back-to-school can become especially expensive when you have ADHD—and what you can do to reduce the stress, decisions, and friction that can quietly push your spending higher. You’ll learn: • How back-to-school adds dozens of small decisions that can overload your ADHD brain • Why spending can become a way to reduce friction when you’re stressed • How time blindness can make planning and saving ahead harder • Why traditional advice like “start early” or “compare prices” don't work • How creating defaults helps reduce your mental load • A simple way to make future time more visible • How to start putting money aside AND get a dopamine hit One of the most important questions in this episode is: What problem was I trying to make easier when I decided to buy this? Because when you understand what your ADHD brain was trying to solve, you can start changing the pattern without simply telling yourself to “spend less.” If back-to-school has you feeling overwhelmed, behind, or surprised by how much you’re spending, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening underneath it. Tell me in the comments: What back-to-school decision drains your brain the fastest—meals, schedules, school supplies, activities, or something else? Any questions?

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.

| Why Trying Harder Isn’t The Answer (But This is) | 14 Dec 2025 | 00:22:08 | |

We’ll unpack the famed “Big Five” personality traits, explore how they overlap with ADHD, and give you concrete tests you can take (and what to do with the results). If you’ve ever felt like ADHD is only part of your story, this one’s for you. Expect science + self‑awareness + a little Gen X sass. What you’ll learn:

| Sneaky Signs You're Working Against Your ADHD Brain | 18 May 2025 | 00:28:55 | |
In this episode, I walk you through a simple process to help you recognize the 3 sneaky 🚩 red flags you’re working *against* your ADHD brain and what to do to prevent it. You will discover:
When pressure turns into pile-up, the brain starts shutting down just when we need it most. The more we go on without pausing, the more dysregulated we become. And when the nervous system is fried, executive function goes offline. Overwhelm sets in and your inner critic wakes up. Suddenly, you’re questioning how you work: “Am I making things harder than they need to be?” “Should I be more structured?” “Is this even the right way to do it?” Let’s interrupt that loop!

| How the "ADHD Tax" Increases Your Financial Burden | 23 Mar 2025 | 00:27:56 | |
When we talk about the ADHD tax, producing your income tax declaration is definitely something that figures on the list of what ADHD is costing you as it is not uncommon for people with ADHD to be late or even a few years behind in their declarations. The ADHD tax amounts to thousands of dollars every year. In the US, adults with ADHD earn about $15 to $20 thousand dollars LESS annually than our neurotypical peers with the same education? Here in Canada, it’s approximately $10 to $15K less per year. The estimated lifetime economic impact in the United States, ranges between $400,000-to half a million dollars per individual in lost wages, fees, and treatment costs. In Canada, it ranges from $350,000-$450,000 per person in lost wages, healthcare costs, and productivity losses. Any questions?

| Cut the Chatter: Mastering Oversharing with ADHD | 09 Feb 2025 | 00:23:22 | |
Ever blurt out way too much and then spend the next hour replaying that conversation in your head? If you’re an ADHDer who’s all about genuine connection (but sometimes forgets to hit the pause button), you’re in the right place! Oversharing isn’t just about being an open book that might make others feel awkward or overwhelmed—it’s about uncovering the hidden dynamics behind our ADHD tendencies. It’s a deep dive into how impulsivity and intense emotions can sometimes transform our strengths into vulnerabilities, even turning our genuine desire to connect against us. In this episode, ADHD coach Zarina Boily dives deep into the art—and occasional misadventure—of oversharing. With empathy, practical insights, and a sprinkle of humour, she unpacks why our fast-paced brains sometimes turn us into an open book, and more importantly, how to decide what to share, when, and with whom. What You’ll Learn:
Why You Should Listen: Because oversharing goes far beyond being an open book and making someone feel awkward and uncomfortable because you revealed too much, too soon. It’s about knowing what goes on behind the scenes of this ADHD-type behavior that can literally end up turning against yourself.
Remember, being an ADHDer means you’re naturally bold, genuine, and brilliant—now, let’s channel that brilliance in every conversation. Enjoy the show! Any questions?

| How to Improve Your Planning Skills | 26 Jan 2025 | 00:31:04 | |
If planning doesn’t come easy in your ADHD world, you can believe it’s never going to change because it’s always been that way or, you can shift your thoughts to create your new normal. Holding on to a belief only hardwires it deeper, shutting the door to any possibility for anything to improve. In this episode, Zarina explains why planning can be so hard for the ADHD brain and how any challenge, including this one, is far from being set in stone. Through the Symphony Conductor Metaphor that makes it easier to understand what executive functions do, you’ll better understand how the ADHD brain works. Among the three of her favorite planning tools she shares, you’ll discover one that can actually help enhance executive function such as working memory, impulsivity and organization.

| Making ADHD Happen for You Not to You | 04 Aug 2024 | 00:29:02 | |
Have you ever thought of ADHD happening for you, not to you or against you? People like us would graduate with honors if they could earn a degree for all we’ve had to do to adapt to a world that wasn’t designed with us in mind. The biggest mistake a lot of ADHDers make, mainly because they don’t know how their brain works, is using methods that are designed for the non ADHD brain. Remember the good old days when Apple and PC operating systems couldn’t have a civil conversation? You'd send a Word document from your Mac to a PC, and, you know, it was like trying to get a cat and a dog to read Shakespeare together. The PC would look at that document and say, “What is this gibberish?!” Meanwhile, the Mac was off in its corner, being all artsy and misunderstood. Well, that’s pretty much how the ADHD brain operates. It's like having a Mac in a world full of PCs. This episode is all about inspiring you to inspire and challenge you to look at ADHD with a different set of lenses and become the private investigator of what your brain needs more of to do things in respect to how our brain works.

Navigating the vast, unpredictable ocean in a small boat mirrors the journey of living with ADHD. Storms and fog represent the challenges and uncertainties that come with it.

| Navigating ADHD: Start with Self-Awareness - Part 1 | 07 Jul 2024 | 00:29:20 | |
When you have ADHD, you might feel that becoming more self aware of your distractible brain is like fighting a losing battle. ADHDers pretty much live in their head which means they’re not paying attention to their bodies, patterns and behavior. Fortunately, there’s an explanation for that and it resides in those two words: executive functioning. Self-awareness is one of the most important keys in making life with ADHD less challenging because no system or strategy will be effective if you are clueless about what works and what doesn’t for your brain. However, people with ADHD tend to have low self awareness and seem to fit the "absent-minded professor" description, which is someone who might seem a bit disconnected from their surroundings or what's happening around them. Even if they appear to be absent or in their own world, unaware of what is happening around them, they’re not. They're deeply immersed and feel present and in the moment. They are present to thoughts that others can’t see. This episode will help you shed some light on:
