Money feels harder when your brain is already overwhelmed

Which is why I created a gentle, shame free guide to help you pause impulse spending, reduce financial overwhelm, and start building a money system that actually works for your brain

If money makes you feel…

  • Overwhelmed every time you open your bank app

  • Stuck in cycles of impulse spending and regret

  • Ashamed about your financial habits

  • Like budgeting systems just don’t work for your brain


You’re not broken. Most money advice was never designed for overwhelmed nervous systems, ADHD brains, or people carrying financial shame or trauma.

This guide offers a different approach.

Inside this free guide you’ll discover:

-Why Money feels overwhelming: Begin to build empathy and understanding for yourself

-A five-minute regulation reset: A script for regulating yourself before you do any money task

-A basic budget worksheet with reflections: To help you understand where your finances are today

-Four suggestions to reduce decision fatigue: Helpful tips to make financial choices feel easier

A Shame-Free framework for spending awareness that builds regulation first, not restriction.

Hi, I’m Amy

I’m a licensed mental health therapist and the founder of Wildly Authentic Counseling, where I work with neurodivergent and deep feeling adults navigating trauma, ADHD, and financial shame.

For years I struggled with impulsive spending and financial overwhelm myself.

What finally helped wasn’t a stricter budget

It was learning how to work with my brain instead of against it.
