Not a traditional finance book, the author thoughtfully discusses financial challenges of ADHD and offers lots of tips and resources. She narrates the audiobook and does it well. I’m going to pick up a copy of the book soon for reference.
I loved this psychology of finance book. Great for those trying to work on the why and not the how of their money journey. Speaks to all people, so you’ll meet someone that will connect with your story. Highly recommend the audiobook as all voices are recorded and there are sound effects to alert listener to different topics covered in each chapter. While it is Canadian, any listener will take something from this one. Give this to high school and college graduates as they learn to manage their new incomes. Thanks NetGalley for the audiobook advanced copy.
This book was like a warm hug, a supportive pep talk, a therapy session, and a how-to guide all in one!
Managing my money has always brought me anxiety and led to avoidant behaviours. Working through this book not only helped me pinpoint why I feel this way, but also the suggested tips have gotten me to a place that I feel more in control and confident with my money, and willing to learn more.
I absolutely loved the way way Ellyce approached potentially stressful topics gently, sharing her personal journey with money and her identity in a way that leaves room for us readers to reflect on our own money story in a judgement-free space. The focus on prioritizing your mental health was consistent throughout all the chapters. It was such a refreshing reminder while discussing these financial concepts, societal pressures, financial trauma, managing money within relationships, and family dynamics - very rare for finance books to have that mental health lens, and it’s so valuable here!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and their relationship to money, wants to improve that relationship, and wants to feel more comfortable moving out into the world with a toolkit for managing their personal money story.
