ADHA can affect how your brain handles things like planning, focus and organisation, which can make it particularly challenging to stay on top of your finances. Things like paying off debt, saving into a pension, paying a bill on time can feel really overwhelming.  In this episode we explore exactly why money and ADHD can clash, find out what can help, and take a look at how to build systems that could work for you.  Join our host, Philippa Lamb, and our expert panel as they break it all down.
