Your Neurodivergent Guide to Money

Around 1 in 5 people in the UK are neurodivergent, but it often doesn’t get discussed enough when it comes to personal finance. In this episode, our host Iona Bain speaks with accountant and behavioural finance expert Krystle McGilvery about the often-overlooked link between neurodiversity and money. Krystle shares her personal experience of living with ADHD and dyslexia, and how these conditions impact her financial habits. From budgeting struggles to impulsive spending and long-term planning challenges, together they explore how emotional regulation, executive function, and financial systems all intersect. Get ready for some empowering strategies to help take control of your financial future, whether you’re navigating your own neurodivergence or supporting someone who is.
