Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and

coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD. Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B.

Hey what's up? This is Kristen Carter and you are listening to the I have

ADHD podcast episode number 68. I am

medicated I am caffeinated and I am ready to roll.

Happy August to you.

If you're listening real time, it is my favorite time of year.

It is summer summer it is hot

Soeltering. I am loving every second of it I was made for the heat

Spending almost every night on our back porch under the pergola sitting in my hammock swing with an adult beverage in my hand occasionally loving it completely I hope that you are enjoying your summer as well. Today we are

going to talk about money, money. I am enjoying talking about money so much. I am changing all of my thoughts,

all of my thinking, all of my thoughts all of my thinking all of my beliefs about money and I can't wait to

bring you in on everything that's changed for me so I do have two other money episodes that I recorded. I believe they were last summer and even in the last year so much has changed for me and so I'm super stoked to kind of give you a peek into my brain and the thoughts

and feelings that are changing which are creating different

results. It's so fun. In my experience, most ADHD years are

under-earning, overspending, feeling shame,

can't seem to get a handle on their finances,

not able to consistently get positive results in this area and that was the story of my life for most of my life but honestly not anymore and so I'm

super excited to tell you about where I am today and how I've changed everything in the last year.

And I'm still in process. Like you guys know that I don't wait until I've made all of the progress to share with you where I am because I love to bring you in on the journey and I love to show you what it looks like to be in the process of change. So I want to tell you a little bit about where I am right now. I earn what I want to earn. Imagine that. Okay? And I continue to increase my income just for fun, like just because

it's super fun. I've dropped my victim mentality with money, which I didn't realize that I had, but I totally did.
