ADHD-Friendly Financial Planning Made Easy

Do you shudder when you hear the words “financial planning”? How do you answer the question “what would you like to be doing in 20 years? “ Do you wonder how you are going to be able to afford to retire and travel/have a big garden/have a woodworking shop/spend more time with family? (Pick any or add your own!) My guest today has developed strategies that fit the way our ADHD mind works; today you get to see and/or hear how to get started with one of them.

Simi Mandelbaum, CEO of PROSPR Financial Wellness, is my guest today. She founded PROSPR in 2019 to provide education and tools for people to use in order to reduce the stress and anxiety they feel around money and reach financial success (as they define it).  (PROSPR has no “E” on purpose – no Excuses.)

ADHD minds work well with visual representation of thoughts and ideas – diagrams, pictures, maps. The PROSPR model starts with visualization of your financial success, in much more depth and detail than just a picture floating around in your head. Watch or listen (or both) as we demonstrate how the process starts, with Simi in her role as a Certified Financial Therapist (CFT™) and myself as someone aiming for retirement. Listen and Learn!
