Summary
In this Best of So Money 2025 episode, we revisit some of the most powerful conversations about managing money through midlife — a stage where financial decisions collide with health changes, caregiving responsibilities, relationship transitions, and neurodiversity. From menopause and medical advocacy, to rebuilding after divorce, to rethinking money with ADHD, to caring for aging parents, these excerpts offer practical guidance and reassurance for navigating one of the most complex (and consequential) phases of our financial lives.

- Nicole Stanley (Episode 1841) – ADHD and money, late diagnosis in midlife, why traditional budgeting often fails neurodivergent brains, and building systems rooted in compassion and dopamine
