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

| Are you Time Insensitive? | 28 Mar 2023 | 00:29:05 | |
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. Connect with me in a free 20 minute call: https://calendly.com/zarinaboily/brilliance-call | |||

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.

| 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!

| 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 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:

| [Repost] How Being a Gen-X Women Could Explain ADHD Financial Chaos | 31 May 2026 | 00:29:48 | |
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?
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.
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.

| 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.
