Your Neurodivergent Money Coach

Your brain isn’t the problem. Traditional money advice is.

Money systems designed to work with how you think – not against it.

If budgets never stick, apps feel useless, and you know what you should do but can’t make yourself do it, you’re in the right place.

Especially if you’re earning well but your finances still feel like chaos. You’re not failing. You’re running a high-performing brain on a system that was never built for you. That’s exactly what I help with.

I’m Stephanie, a certified YNAB coach specializing in money management for ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD brains.

Since 2018, my clients have paid off over $800,000 in debt using strategies built for neurodivergent minds – not against them. Whether you’re ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, or neurospicy and overwhelmed – you’re in the right place.

Does This Sound Like You?

  • You open your banking app, feel a wave of dread, and close it again.
  • You buy things impulsively and then feel awful about it.
  • You’ve tried every budgeting app – and quit every one.
  • You know the rules of budgeting. Following them is another story.
  • An unexpected expense derails your whole month.
  • The shame around money makes everything worse, not better.

You’re not failing at money. You’re using a system that was never designed for
your brain. That’s what we fix.

Money coaching built for how your brain works

1

Find Your Starting Point

We look at where you are: income, spending, debt, goals. No judgment, no jargon. Just a clear picture of what’s actually happening with your money.

2

A System For Your Brain

Using YNAB as the foundation, we build a budgeting system customized to how you think – not a generic template. Visual, flexible, and tailored to your brain.

3

Stay on Track Together

Regular check-ins keep you accountable without shame. As your confidence grows, we adjust the system to match – so it keeps working for you long-term.

Why Neurodivergent-Specific Coaching Matters

Standard budgeting advice assumes your brain tracks deadlines naturally, feels motivated by spreadsheets, and can override impulse with willpower.

For ADHD and autistic brains – and especially AuDHD brains, where both overlap – that’s not how it works. No amount of trying harder changes that.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult. My husband and I paid off $21,000 in debt, went $18,000 back into debt, and then paid that off in just 22 months once I had the right systems and income in place.

I built this practice because I needed it to exist. I get it because I live it.

And that lived experience is the foundation of every coaching relationship I have.

Real Results from Real People

Stephanie is very patient, and the numbers speak for themselves.  My fiancee doesn’t have any anxiety about us being in our new home.

I know where each dollar is going, I feel much more comfortable and confident in the way I spend my money. And I've paid off a ton of debt that I wouldn't have if I hadn't worked with Stephanie.
Karim Shallwani, DDS
Every single time I attend one of our meetings I am left feeling so confident and so optimistic that this month will be even better than the last. Stephanie always has a new way of looking at things I never would have thought of.
