Ep.6 - ADHD, Overwhelm & Avoidance: Taking Back Control of Your Mind & Money - with special guest Sarah Morgan
Ever felt like you might have ADHD, but you’re not quite sure? Or maybe you just keep procrastinating on that one important financial task?
In this episode of Juggling Mind and Money, Jess Schlupp-Taylor and Steve Rowe welcome their first-ever guest—Sarah Morgan, a coach and expert on ADHD.
Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and a deep dive into ADHD—the strengths, the struggles, and the surprisingly sneaky ways it can mess with your finances.
From impulse spending to the never-ending to-do list of doom, we’re getting real about how ADHD brains navigate money, decision-making, and productivity.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• What is ADHD, really? (And why it’s not just about hyper kids bouncing off the walls.)
• Impulse buying and the dopamine hit—why just adding things to your basket might be enough.
• Procrastination loops & financial overwhelm—why we put things off (and how to break the cycle).
• The ADHD ‘body double’ trick—how having a human accountability partner can be a game-changer.
• What happens when an ADHD brain meets a financial planner—the hilarious story of Sarah’s 18-month journey to find her driving licence (and why chocolate bars with faces on them helped).
• Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)—why some ADHDers take criticism really hard.
PLUS: The team dives into Sockology, the groundbreaking (and totally unscientific) theory about how your socks reveal your state of mind. Spoiler: Steve has the wrong birds on his socks, and Jess might be low-key teasing her colleagues. 🦔🧦
🔥 LISTEN NOW! Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or just want to understand why you still haven’t sorted that pension paperwork, this episode is full of insight, practical hacks, and plenty of laughs.
