In today's raw and honest episode, I chat with Nicole Stanley—founder of Arise Financial Coaching. We talk openly about navigating money with ADHD and the very real challenges that come with managing finances when ADHD is in the mix. Nicole offers practical strategies that actually work for brains wired differently—no rigid rules or “just try harder” advice here.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why standard money advice often falls flat for women and families dealing with ADHD

• How Nicole’s lived experience and ADHD-focused coaching help clients ditch shame, build confidence, and design systems that stick

• Approaches to parenting neurodivergent kids so they feel supported, not stressed out, around money

Nicole Stanley is the founder and head financial coach at Arise Financial Coaching. After overcoming her own financial anxiety and transforming her life from being $30K in debt to building a $250K+ net worth by age 27—all on an average salary and without shortcuts—Nicole created the Money Momentum Method. Her approach focuses on helping professionals, especially women and those with ADHD, eliminate financial stress and build confidence with practical, shame-free strategies. Nicole and her ADHD-informed team have guided over 600 clients worldwide, helping them save an average of $20,000 within six months. She has been featured by TIME, Yahoo Finance, and CNET and lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and two children.

This week, I'm breaking down the very real (but mostly unspoken) phenomenon of financial dysmorphia: that nagging feeling where your bank statement says one thing, but your emotions tell a totally different story.

I share some relatable, everyday examples (hi, back-to-school budget spiral!) and explain why even "doing all the right things" financially can still leave you feeling stuck, not enough, or overwhelmed.

On this week's episode, I'm sharing my conversation with Dr. Corinne Low—she’s an absolute powerhouse economist who helps to break down some big, sticky ideas about women, money, and why we’re always chasing that impossible dream of “having it all.”

In our conversation, we tackle:

• Why the whole “having it all” thing is kind of a myth—and how the systems around us keep pushing that pressure, even when it stresses us out

• The actual health benefits of saying NO (yes, it’s allowed!) and why protecting our boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s survival

• Simple, doable ways to get a grip on your money and claim some much-needed emotional independence, even when the world feels chaotic

Corinne shares her story, plenty of lightbulb moments, and some practical advice for anyone feeling the weight of expectations.
