In this milestone 30th episode, dive deep into the crucial connection between burnout and its impact on executive function, and how this affects your finances, especially for high-earning neurodivergent adults. Drawing on my personal experience of taking an 18-month break from finance coaching, I explain why your money management, budgeting, and savings habits might falter even when your income remains steady. This decline is not due to a lack of skill but a nervous system response called executive dysfunction. Discover how burnout often first reveals itself through subtle financial challenges, long before it affects other parts of your life.
If you find managing your money, savings, or budgeting to be increasingly difficult despite a stable income, this episode offers clarity. You'll learn to identify the early signs of burnout affecting your executive function, understand why it impacts your finances first, and gain compassionate language to describe what you've been experiencing. More importantly, realize that these struggles are not a reflection of failure or lack of discipline — they're part of how burnout interacts with your nervous system and executive function.
