Why You Avoid Your Bank Account | Overcoming Shame and Guilt in ADHD Money Management| 111

No shame finance starts here: If checking your bank account feels stressful, your brain is protecting you—and that's not laziness.

In this episode, Jewlz explores why money avoidance happens, how shame and overwhelm feed the cycle, and why "just check it" advice backfires.

Learn the neuroscience behind account avoidance, practical ways to build a judgment-free relationship with your numbers, and a simple 10-minute money date ritual to break free.

Perfect for adults with ADHD and anyone avoiding their finances due to shame or overwhelm.
