## Resource

What if your money problems aren't about being irresponsible or bad at planning? What if you're just stuck in survival mode... swinging between spending, hoarding, or avoiding? In this episode, I break down the four money patterns dysregulated ADHDers get stuck in. It's not about budgets or apps. It's about getting out of fight or flight . When you're regulated, you make conscious choices with money. When you're dysregulated, you're either impulsively spending, paralyzed by fear, avoiding your accounts, or obsessively checking them.
