## Resource

Sherry lost her credit card two weeks ago. Is she worried? Not even a little, and she shares exactly why in this episode. This episode is about what happens when you're tuned out with your money, not from a place of shame, but from a place of how you can shift things a little to save you money and make your life easier. The costs of not looking at your statements can add up fast. From subscriptions you forgot to cancel that have been auto-renewing for three years, to fraud charges you never caught, and so much more. We talk about why ADHD makes it so easy to avoid statements, the shame that builds when you haven't looked in months, and the simple five-minute weekly habit that catches all of this before it costs you. Whether you've been avoiding your credit card for six months or you're trying to categorize 12 months of transactions and burning out, this episode offers a lower-the-bar approach that actually works when the novelty wears off.
