ADHD and Money: The Hidden Interest Gap Keeping You Stuck14 Jun 202600:25:53

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.  

In This Episode: 

✔ What the Interest Gap is 

✔ Why ADHD brains struggle with money 

✔ The connection between dopamine and spending 

✔ How attention creates better financial decisions 

✔ Simple strategies to reduce money chaos

✔ How to stop impulsive spending without relying on willpower 

✔ Why creativity is your secret financial advantage

The Biggest Lie About ADHD10 Aug 202500:23:34

You've had it with strategies that don't work and are looking for ones that do, especially when it comes to money management? FREE training here

_

You try to see the positive sides of ADHD but find it hard, especially when it's been perceived as a problem for years. Or maybe you're reminded of your challenges more than your strengths and what you are talented in. This episode reveals the truth about the biggest lie about ADHD from a scientific point of view.

Zarina Boily shares what studies show when it comes to the positive aspects of ADHD, and why being unsuccessful at believing it's not a problem has nothing to do with you or the fact that you see the glass half empty. She breaks down the steps to identifying what you appreciate about your uniquely wired brain and tap into your strengths.

From divergent-thinking to the willingness to help others, you will get science-baked proof that the spectrum of the positives aspect of ADHD is real and expanding.

ADHD & Money: The Hidden Resistance Keeping You Stuck17 May 202600:28:47

  • How childhood labels shape financial confidence
  • The subconscious money beliefs you inherited
  • Why ADHD amplifies money stress
  • How to calm your nervous system around finances
  • Why money work creates a ripple effect in your life

Unwrapping ADHD in Girls Part 3—Womanhood13 Jul 202500:25:17

Are you part of a lost generation of women who were late diagnosed with ADHD? If so, you grew up believing there was something wrong with you, were believed to be "too sensitive", and were performing well in school so ADHD was never considered a possibility.

In this last part of understanding how ADHD shows up in women at different stages of life, we zero-in on how having a uniquely wired brain impacts our professional and romantic lives, but also, how ADHD is not the end of the story, but the beginning of one where you can start living by your own rules.

There are more women that are late diagnosed and part of a lost generation and here are a few that have spoken openly about having ADHD:

 
  • Greta Gerwig: Director and writer of "Barbie".
  • Michelle Rodriguez: Actress, known for her roles in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise
  • Simone Biles: Olympic gymnast
  • Mel Robbins: Author and host of the Mel Robbins Podcast
  • Karina Smirnoff: Professional dancer and "Dancing with the Stars" professional

Your ADHD Monthly Reset That Prevents Money Chaos14 May 202600:17:09

What if money isn’t the problem… staying connected to it is?

If you have ADHD, financial chaos isn’t about laziness or lack of intelligence. It’s about executive function friction.

In this episode, Zarina shares the exact 3-step monthly reset she uses to prevent financial overwhelm — without rigid budgeting or tracking every expense daily.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

  • Why traditional budgeting fails ADHD brains
  • The power of visual money systems
  • How to reduce impulsive spending without restriction
  • Why ADHD money management is cyclical, not linear
  • How your money archetype creates friction
  • The reset points your brain actually needs

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • ADHD needs reliable reset points, not perfect consistency.
  • Visibility reduces anxiety.
  • Money awareness ≠ judgment.
  • Decision fatigue fuels impulsivity.
  • Closing the mental loop creates clarity.

This episode is your permission to stop forcing yourself into systems that don’t fit — and start building one that does.

Are you Time Insensitive?28 Mar 202300:29:05

Are you time insensitive or time nearsighted?

If you are wondering why you are always late, forget appointments and don’t seem to have enough time, chances are you are insensitive to time.

On the other hand, fearing to be late and doing everything possible to make sure you arrive on time, you are time nearsighted.

But it goes farther than that. You may arrive at the end of your day with the feeling you haven’t accomplished anything.

You may also be under the impression that you won’t have enough time to do or accomplish everything you want in this lifetime or on the contrary, that you have plenty of time.

Adults with ADHD perceive time differently and it’s one of the many reasons why functioning in a world that is so regulated by it is such a challenge.

Fortunately, there are ways to overcome this obstacle as you will find out in this episode.

Masking and Overcompensating to Hide ADHD Symptoms27 Oct 202400:38:11

 Ever feel like you’re constantly playing a role, hiding parts of yourself just to “fit in”? This episode dives into the experience of masking for women with ADHD—when we cover up or downplay our ADHD traits to meet the world’s expectations.

From early school days when we first learn to mask to the pressures of juggling adult roles, masking becomes second nature for many of us. But the emotional toll is real.

In this episode, we’ll explore why girls and women with ADHD often feel compelled to hide their symptoms, how masking shows up in different stages of life, and the specific challenges faced by women.

We’ll talk about the exhaustion and loss of identity that come with years of masking and, most importantly, how awareness can be the first step to unmasking and embracing your true self.

Hit play to discover what masking really is, how it impacts you, and how to start letting go of that mask. You deserve to live fully as the real, phenomenal you!

Unwrapping ADHD in Girls Part 1—From Childhood to Adolescence15 Jun 202500:26:18

ADHD shows up differently in girls than on boys, that we know, especially if you are the inattentive type, meaning, you show no signs of physical hyperactivity because it's been internalized or camouflaged.

In this episode, Zarina, unapologetic rebel, unwraps what it was like to grow up with ADHD being unbeknownst to her, her mother, family and teachers (who maybe, had a clue). 

✅ Getting kicked out of school in grade 6

✅ Breaking and entering into a neighbour’s apartment

✅ Feeling different, but thinking it was because of her skin colour

3 Benefits of Using Structure for the ADHD Brain01 Sep 202400:22:17

The word structure usually make ADHDers cringe and want nothing to do with it, even if you know that all hell brakes loose if you don't have it. Do you know why that is?

Because most structures are not created for the ADHD brain, but the neurotypical one.

That's one of the reasons doing things spontaneously is the way we prefer, but did you know that when you navigate a structure that fit your unique brain style, you:

  • Create or gain momentum and that increases productivity
  • Reduce overwhelm and that decreases procrastination
  • Enjoy more flow in your days and less chaos.

If like me, you show any kind of resistance to using a structure, this episode is for you as it will help you figure out how to make it work for your brain, what the most important thing you need to consider when thinking about creating a structure is and words you can replace the words so that it generates expansion, not contraction.

How Being a Gen-X Women Could Explain ADHD Financial Chaos18 Aug 202400:29:48

Are you a Gen-X woman who received a late diagnosis and are just beginning to see the impact it had on your life? 

What about your professional life and career which ultimately, reflects on your financial situation due to how ADHD challenges hinder the ability to manage money?

  • Job hopping to avoid boredom
  • Missed opportunities like promotions or career advancement
  • Burnout from trying to meet expectations and demands
  • Unemployment or underemployment

There’s a lot to advocate for with ADHD and even more so when it comes to women and, to a certain extent, gen-x women who fall short as they approach retirement and face many financial struggles.

  • Impulsive spending due to the difficulty of delaying gratification
  • Lack of sufficient retirement savings because of irregular contributions
  • Carrying debt, including credit card balances, mortgages, or personal loans into retirement.

Tax Season + ADHD = Shutdown? Listen to This.22 Mar 202600:28:44

Tax season stresses you out, feels like a cognitive ambush — it can also shut you down completely. If you have ADHD and filing taxes feels overwhelming, paralyzing, or shame-filled, this episode reframes it in a way that allows you to get unstuck and take action with a simple 3-step system to prevent tax overwhelm.

Zarina explains why tax season creates executive function overload and how low interest + high demand equals total brain freeze. But this isn’t about capability. It’s about ignition.

Inside this episode:

The real reason taxes feel impossible

Why urgency works (and why it drains you)

How shame keeps ADHDers stuck

Why tuning your systems beats forcing discipline

Want to help spread the word?

Sneaky Signs You're Working Against Your ADHD Brain18 May 202500:28:55

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:

  • Why overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means your strategies need a tune-up.
  • What to listen for in your inner dialogue when you're close to a crash. 
  • Why “pushing through” works… until it seriously doesn’t—and what to do instead.

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!

Making ADHD Happen for You Not to You04 Aug 202400:29:02

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.

Break Free from ADHD Money Chaos: Unlock Your Financial Archetype (Party 1)20 Apr 202500:22:53

Managing money with ADHD isn’t about willpower — it’s about wiring. You’re not lazy. You’re not bad with money. You’ve just been trying to force your unique ADHD brain into systems that were never designed for you. That ends today.

In this first part of a powerful 2-part series, Zarina — ADHD & money coach and rebel-with-a-cause — introduces the first four of the Eight Money Archetypes that unlock why ADHDers struggle with money (and what to do about it). You’ll finally understand the “why” behind your habits, emotional triggers, and self-sabotaging money patterns — and how to rewire them in a way that’s actually ADHD-friendly.

If you’ve ever felt anxious about money, ghosted your bills, avoided looking at your account, or felt guilt for every "treat yourself" moment — this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air and a blueprint to move forward.

🎙️ In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why traditional money advice doesn’t work for ADHDers
  • What Money Archetypes are and how they uncover hidden beliefs and behaviors

  • How ADHD traits like impulsivity, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and avoidance show up in your finances

  • The strengths and shadow sides of these 4 archetypes:

    • The Nurturer — the over-giver who forgets to put herself first

    • The Ruler — the visionary hustler who can’t turn it off

    • The Connector — the relationship-first soul who avoids money talk

    • The Celebrity — the magnetic light who links money with self-worth

  • ADHD Coaching Nuggets: actionable mindset shifts for each archetype

  • How to use your financial personality to build better habits that stick (no spreadsheets required)

Key Takeaways:

  • ADHD and money struggles are emotional, not just logical

  • Your brain isn’t broken — it’s just wired for different systems

  • Money archetypes help bring clarity, not shame, to your habits

  • You don’t need more willpower — you need better tools

  • Emotional spending, avoidance, burnout, or undercharging all have roots in these archetypes

Navigating ADHD: Start with Self-Awareness - Part 107 Jul 202400:29:20

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:

  • Why is being self-aware challenging for our brain?
  • How can self-awareness be a game changer for ADHDers?
  • What is self-awareness and why do we need it?
  • How to develop your self-awareness muscle the ADHD way?

And much much more!

Be ready to learn, understand and be empowered in making navigating ADHD-like challenges an enjoyable experience.

Navigating The End of The School Year With ADHD20 Jun 202300:20:56

Holy smokes…the end of the school year. How challenging it can be.

Can you remember how it was for you as a kid?

For me it wasn’t always easy.

There are a lot of transitions and endings happening at the same time when the school year ends.

It’s as if the intensity in the energy is greater, emotions are conflicting and kids with ADHD tend to have a more difficult time than other kids do.

If this is part of your reality, listening to this episode, I hope, will answer some questions or give you a better idea of what’s going on and how you can help your child navigate through.

Understanding How ADHD Impacts Flexibility21 Feb 202300:19:42

Are you completely disorganized when your plan changes last minute or when your routine doesn't go as it usually does?

Flexibility is often one executive function with ADHD that can either perform well or bring the inability to react calmly when something changes unexpectedly.

In this episode I want to expand how you see flexibility, and ADHD for that matter, by sharing what happens when my plans go out the window and something very simple you can do if flexibility is something you have difficulty with.

Hope you enjoy!

The 5 ADHD Barriers That Crush Your Dream-Achieving Mojo06 Apr 202500:29:24

Feel like your dreams are stuck in a ‘loading… please wait’ loop? ADHD might be the reason—and the hidden key. In this episode, I break down 5 sneaky ADHD barriers blocking your progress and walk you through a powerful coaching exercise to outsmart overwhelm and build real momentum—ADHD-style.

There’s a reason your dreams keep getting delayed—and it’s not laziness.

You’ve got ideas. You’ve got ambition. But somehow, your follow-through is on a permanent coffee break. ADHD much?

Sure, ADHD comes with its fair share of barriers—but it also hides some powerful levers that can help you achieve your dreams. Problem is, those levers don’t come with a user manual. Until you figure out how your brain ticks, they stay locked away like treasures in a video game. All you need is to crack the code on your brilliant brain.

In this episode, we’re diving into 5 sneaky ADHD barriers that can quietly sabotage your dream-chasing mojo. But don’t worry—we’re not just naming the culprits—you’ll also learn:

💥 How executive function messes with your momentum

💥 What to do when your brain ghosts your own goals

💥 Why the “boring middle” makes you want to peace out (and how to stick with it by making it fun)

Plus, I walk you through a powerful coaching exercise (access it here) to help you name what’s really getting in your way, outsmart the overwhelm, and build real momentum toward your dream.

You’re not lazy and you don’t need to work harder. You’re just stuck in ADHD quicksand. This episode’s your rope—grab it and let’s climb out so those dreams find their way out of the “someday” zone.

ADHD, Passion Of Learning and Sustaining Attention13 Jun 202300:20:17

How many books have you bought and not read yet? How many books have you started and read a little bit of one, a little bit of another one and so on? Do you have different books in different places in your house?

Maybe you have one on your bedside table that you read before going to bed, one in the bathroom and another one in the living room. We’re definitely lifelong students that never get tired of discovering new things but it can also be a trap because our attention can be on many different things.

Reasons to Love Your ADHD Brain14 Feb 202300:16:30

If you wonder what's there to love about ADHD, let me tell you that there's a lot to be crazy in love with our brain. Showing love and appreciation can definitely help change how you see it and when you accept and love ADHD, you accept a part of yourself as well.

Even if it's not always easy to be different, I've come to realize that it is one of the biggest strength I have because that's what I know best. So if you are looking to move away from the negative attention given to ADHD and are curious to see how it's possible to feel happy, and privileged to have an amazing brain like yours, even if you can't quite see how it can be possible, this episode gives you a few insights.

Because the greatest gift you can give yourself is to stop believing what people say about you or ADHD is true and start bringing the positive aspects in the spotlight.

[Repost] How Being a Gen-X Women Could Explain ADHD Financial Chaos31 May 202600:29:48

Are you a Gen-X woman who received a late diagnosis and are just beginning to see the impact it had on your life?

What about your professional life and career which ultimately, reflects on your financial situation due to how ADHD challenges hinder the ability to manage money?

  • Job hopping to avoid boredom
  • Missed opportunities like promotions or career advancement
  • Burnout from trying to meet expectations and demands
  • Unemployment or underemployment

There’s a lot to advocate for with ADHD and even more so when it comes to women and, to a certain extent, gen-x women who fall short as they approach retirement and face many financial struggles.

  • Impulsive spending due to the difficulty of delaying gratification
  • Lack of sufficient retirement savings because of irregular contributions
  • Carrying debt, including credit card balances, mortgages, or personal loans into retirement.

Despite the beliefs, baggage and habits you carry about money, lack of interest is probably what’s at the top of the list when you live with ADHD.

This episode covers many aspects to help you become knowledgeable about ADHD, the way it shows up in women and what changes when you start paying attention to your money and finances, so you can see what gets in the way and see a beacon of hope pointing toward a brighter future as you enter your third act.

Why Impulsive Spending Isn't a Self-Control Problem for ADHD26 Jan 202600:21:05

Impulsive spending isn’t random—it’s not a flaw, and isn’t about willpower, discipline, or being “bad with money.” In this episode, you’ll discover why ADHD brains use spending as a regulation shortcut, especially during stress, boredom, overload, and emotional exhaustion.

Highlights:

• Why ADHD brains crave fast relief
• How dopamine drives impulsive spending
• Why guilt after spending proves it’s not recklessness
• The hidden emotional triggers behind money decisions
• A powerful reframe that can interrupt the pattern

If you’ve ever said “I’m just bad with money”, this episode will change how you see yourself—and your brain.

Key Takeaway:

You’re not reckless. Your brain is regulating.

How the "ADHD Tax" Increases Your Financial Burden23 Mar 202500:27:56

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.

Why ADHD is a Difference, not a Disorder09 Jun 202400:22:30

The saddest thing about ADHD is the narrative that focuses more on the pain and struggles than the strengths and abilities. Of course, it's an undeniable fact that there is a long list of symptoms that create a heavy burden of challenges.

When everything that doesn't work gets all the attention, it's hard, if not impossible, to see what does.

As an ADHDer, you have the power to choose the lens through which you look at ADHD; the one that zooms in on everything you can't do or struggle with, or the one that zooms out and allows you to see what is actually going well.

Here’s a few highlights from this episode:

  • Why what you pay attention to matters and how it affects the way you experience ADHD.
  • How seeing ADHD as a difference came quite naturally to me and is at the heart of what I do.
  • Why constant external validation of what isn't working can keep you in victim mode without you even knowing it, and how to break the cycle.

How Can You Benefit From ADHD Coaching?06 Jun 202300:22:40

The coaching process for ADHD is designed as a pause where the coach and the client explore together just what your particular reality is so that you can identify and employ strategies and skills.

One way you benefit from it is that it helps minimize the effects of ADHD symptoms on your daily life and allows you to achieve your personal and professional goals with less struggles or feeling of not being able to and you’re better able to create a life you want and love.
