E220: Spending Money on Yourself Guilt-free! Plus How to Talk to Your Partner about the Budget

Sometimes you need a reminder that it’s okay to spend a little money on yourself, especially when the guilt of the last 3 wasteful impulse buys are still weighing on you.

In this episode of Motherhood in ADHD, we're diving headfirst into why self-care is NOT selfish. I want you to know that putting yourself on the budget’s priority list is worth it - without guilt creeping in and talking yourself out of it before you ever get that much deserved break.

Often that guilt (or fear of something else) also prevents you from bringing up the topic of money with your partner. 

I’ll cover how you can prepare for a money conversation with your partner and set the stage so it’s as smooth as possible. 

If even thinking about money conversations or putting yourself first gives you hives, this episode is a great first step toward ditching the guilt, as we dive into two uncomfortable conversations in today’s episode.
