🚨 Trigger Warning: Mild discussion of money anxiety and decision-making overwhelm.

Ever spent way too long deciding on something simple, only to end up buying nothing? Or spent hours researching an item, panicked after purchasing it, and then convinced yourself you made the wrong choice? Yeah, same.

When you have ADHD, autism, or both, making decisions can feel like an extreme sport—especially when it comes to big purchases, meal planning, or even choosing what to watch on Netflix. Between executive dysfunction, overthinking, perfectionism, and money anxiety, decision fatigue is a real struggle.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

✔ Why neurodivergent brains struggle with decision-making

✔ The fear of regret, perfectionism, and why we spiral over ‘the right choice’

✔ How money anxiety makes spending feel impossible

✔ Real-life examples of decision paralysis (yes, I’m still choosing a toaster)

✔ Strategies to make decision-making easier when your brain refuses to cooperate

So, if you’ve ever felt personally victimised by your own inability to make a decision, this one’s for you.
