Mad About Money will help you to make sense of your life if you are neurodivergent or suspect you might be.
Maddy, a 40 year old mum of two, has had her fair share of struggles with money, life and business without always understanding why. With her ADHD and Autism diagnosis, everything suddenly made more sense, and she has used her diagnosis to improve her life. Mad About Money: Managing finances (and life) with ADHD is not your typical money book, it is an unfiltered, honest, sweary and inspiring journey through the life of an undiagnosed neurodivergent woman. Award-winning writer and CPD-accredited neurodiversity specialist , money and business coach Maddy Alexander-Grout walks you through the story of her life. By sharing her own difficulties with money, spending, and debt, she shows you how to apply the lessons she learned in climbing back from over £40000 in consumer debt. But this book is not just about money, it's about the struggles she has had along the way as an undiagnosed neurodivergent with ADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia and more.
This book will give you actionable tips to navigate life as a neurodivergent, manage your money, learn to understand your brain and make sense of your past, especially if you are, or suspect you, are neurodivergent.
