Episode 44: ‘ADHD and Spending Addiction Patterns’ with Maddy Alexander Grout
Our powerful dopamine-seeking behaviour can lead us down some very dark roads, but having the awareness and some nurturing accountability can help us channel our hyperfocuses in a healthy way.
This week’s guest is money-saving specialist, Maddy Alexander-Grout and recently diagnosed ADHD mum of two. Her main passion is helping people save money, find discounts, and guide people to find support for their ADHD in the workplace.
