PMS Tax & Emotional Spending... with Abby Birch
from The Period Press · host Samantha Garstin
This episode is not to be missed, especially if, like me, your ADHD brain and your premenstrual mood have ever tag-teamed your bank account.We’re talking about the PMS tax and emotional spending (particularly when it’s fuelled by the spicy).That urge to buy something, anything to make the inner meep feel better, a little “treat yourself” moment that somehow turned into £84 on random crap from Amazon (I do really love my new keyboard and mouse, tho).And who better to talk about it all than Abby Birch, financial wellbeing coach, money expert, and absolute bloody pro when it comes to helping people feel more confident and in control of their finances.And she's a bloody delight.Abby brings 25+ years of experience, but what I love most is how she makes money simple, in real-life terms that make sense.We’ll be chatting about...💸 Why emotional spending ramps up in the premenstrual phase💸 How impulsivity and neurodivergence shape our money habits💸 And what we can actually do to feel more in control (without the shame spiral).Whether your PMS go-to is a planner, a takeaway, or an 8-hour Vinted binge (just me?), you are not alone.
