## Resource

In this episode of The Truth About Local Government , Matthew Masters speaks with Esther Bangura, a Neurodivergent Money Coaching expert, about a topic rarely explored openly in the public sector, our relationship with money. The conversation unpacks how neurodivergence can shape financial behaviours, from avoidance and overwhelm to impulsivity and perfectionism, and why traditional approaches to budgeting and financial planning often fail to resonate. Esther shares practical, realistic strategies for building systems that work with, not against, how neurodivergent individuals think and operate. They also explore the wider implications for workplace wellbeing, performance, and inclusive leadership, highlighting why financial confidence is not just a personal issue, but a professional one. This episode offers both reassurance and actionable advice for anyone looking to take greater control of their finances in a way that feels achievable and sustainable.
