About this episode

The episode discusses the unfairness in financial situations, particularly for AuDHD individuals, and explores themes of consumerism and comparison with others.

This & next week are two episodes on money & finances as a follow up to last week's interview (more from Hyperfocus here). Justice sensitivity can highlight the unfairness we often feel between our financial situations and those of people who haven't struggled to find and keep work. For example, AuDHDers often experience conflict with bosses who think we ask too many questions or have a bad "vibe." For me, acknowledging and soothing that unfairness with things beyond just spending has been important. The episode also touches on comparison with others, consumerism, and why I just buy things directly from China now (via AliExpress , and that link gives me a whopping $1 coupon if you end up making a purchase ;) AuDHD Flourishing resources: Transcript Doc (often a few weeks behind, but we do catch up!)
