Why Not Me? - Learning to Trust Yourself...especially when it comes to money

July 13, 20231 min read

In this powerful conversation, I sat down with Hanna Morrell, a holistic trauma-informed financial coach, to explore what it really means to trust yourself—especially when it comes to money. We unpacked why traditional financial advice often fails neurodivergent folks, how tools like “wants vs. needs” can reinforce shame, and what it looks like to build trust through decision-making rather than self-evaluation.

Hannah also teaches her simple but game-changing tool: “Values, Risks, Any Other Way”—a practical strategy to slow down impulsive decisions and rewire the way you relate to money, worth, and choice. This isn’t just about finances—it’s about building self-trust one choice at a time.

Jess DuBose is an ADHD coach and writer who uses words the same way she approaches coaching—with honesty, humor, and a deep respect for the messy human experience. She’s a published author whose work explores what it means to live, rest, create, and grow in a world that often demands too much. Through both writing and coaching, Jess helps ADHDers build lives and businesses that honor their energy instead of shaming it—and she writes to remind people they’re not alone in the chaos.
