Episode 126: Financial Wellbeing for the ADHD Brain
Who knew talking about financial wellbeing and accounting could be this fascinating and inspiring? When you hear this episode, you'll see why I'm so giddy about it!
My guest this week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast is Rachel Harris. Rachel is disrupting what it means to be an accountant, a business owner and an employer in 2023. She is a TEDx speaker, content creator, author, business owner and, most importantly... an accountant! She is passionate about free financial education for everyone.
During this week's podcast episode, Kate and Rachel spoke about:
Rachel being profoundly deaf and how she became so successful despite this challenge
Communication preferences in business
Financial fears
Asking clients what they need
Breaking down barriers of fear
The trauma of not understanding money or accounts
Asking for help without shame
Financial wellbeing routines
Upper limiting ourselves with ADHD
Removing judgment and harnessing our differences to create evolution and change
Leaning into our strengths and embracing new industries
Updating the maths education and careers advice, especially for neurodivergent brains
Rachel has also generously shared two free resources with the listeners—her 'Accounting 101' video, which you can access here, and her 'Financial Wellbeing' video, which you can watch now by clicking here.
Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.
