Summary

Ellyce Fulmore, Canadian Queer and neurodivergent financial educator, joins the Journey to Launch podcast to talk about how she paid off high interest debt, ADHD and money, and her new book, “Keeping Finance Personal.”

Ellyce is a full-time content creator and founder of Queerd Co., a financial literacy company. Her approach to finance goes beyond the conventional, focusing on the intersectionality of identities and lived experiences.

We also discuss the importance of understanding how dopamine operates in your neurodivergent brain, ADHD hacks to get better with money, what “Momentum Surfing” is, and how to figure out (and stick to) a budget process that works best for you.

In this episode you’ll learn more about:

Challenges people with neurodivergence experience with finance + how they can become better at money management
The strategy behind Ellyce paying off debt and investing while on an inconsistent income
Why becoming debt free isn’t “the ultimate” goal for everyone
Celebrating people's differences, the validity of self diagnosis, sticker boards + more
