Do you have personal finance goals, but you’re not sure where to start? Does the idea of creating a budget feel overwhelming? Managing finances requires all of your executive function skills & special expertise, so we have a neurodivergent money coach joining us on the podcast today!

I had so much fun talking with Stephanie Berman - she makes budgeting less intimidating, normalizes impulse spending, and shares realistic strategies you can start using today to feel more confident managing your money.

About the guest Stephanie Berman:

Stephanie is a money coach who equips fellow neurodivergents with skills needed to achieve financial freedom. She specializes in budgeting basics and leading clients from overwhelm to “Oh! I get it!” She draws wisdom from lessons learned the hard way, her journey from minimum wage to debt free living, and her financial coach master training. Recently diagnosed with ADHD & autism, she understands the neurodivergent tendencies toward overwhelm & impulsive buying. Since she began her coaching career in 2018, her clients have paid off over a half million dollars in debt.
