Money feels harder when you have an ADHD brain. The Distracted Dollar exists to explain why and what actually helps. The Distracted Dollar is a podcast for anyone with ADHD who feels behind, ashamed, or overwhelmed by money. Hosted by Vanessa Dean, ADHD Money Coach, this podcast breaks down the real reasons traditional money advice does not work for ADHD brains and replaces it with systems that do. Each episode explores impulsive and emotional spending, why budgets fall apart, how time blindness leads to late fees and forgotten bills, and how financial identity and money shame keep people stuck. The focus is always on simple, ADHD friendly systems that reduce chaos and build control. There is no hustle culture here. There is no shame. There is no advice that tells you to just try harder. This podcast helps you understand your brain, remove guilt from the equation, and design a financial life that actually fits you
