Über diesen Titel

Are you constantly spending to cope with stress, even after promising yourself you wouldn't?

Does opening bills, letters, or financial reminders instantly trigger overwhelm or shame?

Is sticking to a budget a struggle, even though you know you earn enough?

Do money thoughts leave you feeling guilty, anxious, or like you're always “behind” in life?

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

Neurodivergent Money Management is the podcast that helps you finally feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your finances. Here, you’ll learn how to:
✨ pay off debt without shame
✨ budget in a way your brain can actually follow
✨ reduce emotional and impulsive spending
✨ build savings you can rely on
✨ feel genuinely less anxious about money

I’m Esther Bangura, your host — financial coach for neurodivergent adults.
I spent years trapped in a vicious debt cycle, constantly overspending, constantly stressed, and constantly feeling like I was failing at something everyone else seemed to manage easily. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult that everything finally made sense.

I tried all the same things you’ve probably tried too — strict budget spreadsheets, colour-coded tracking apps, discipline, willpower, “no-spend days.” None of it worked. Not because I wasn’t trying hard enough, but because I was using systems built for neurotypical brains.

Everything changed when I realised I needed to:
💛 manage my anxiety around money
💛 interrupt stress-spending before it spirals
💛 build a money routine that works with my brain, not against it

When I did that, I reduced my stress spending, became more organised with my finances, and eventually became completely debt-free.

And now?
I’m here to help you do the same.

If you’re ready to get 1:1 support to understand your money stressors, reframe your anxiety around money, and finally become debt-free — Apply for 1:1 Neurodivergent and Money Coaching.

Your brain works differently.
Your money can too.
