In this deeply personal episode of The Debt Rebel Podcast, Jewlz the Budget Nerd shares a surprising life update—her ADHD diagnosis at age 42—and how it reshaped her understanding of overwhelm, impulse spending, and budgeting struggles. She opens up about the emotional impact of years of burnout, forgotten bills, and financial shame, even as a certified financial coach with a background in economics. Jewlz dives into the systems, routines, and mindset shifts that helped her and her family pay off $107,000 in debt, and how she now uses those lessons to support overwhelmed parents—especially those navigating ADHD or emotional spending.
