Did you know there are three ways you spend money based on your identity? You either spend money to escape, belong, or embrace your identity. Before you go second guessing how you spend your money, our guest, Ellyse Fulmore, author of the new book, Keep Money Personal and a queer and neurodivergent financial educator, content creator, and the founder of Queerd Co., a financial literacy company, wants you to set down the shoulds and the shame around money and start embracing your identity. This powerful conversation about Ellyce’s money journey inspired her book. Ellyce came out as Queer and was diagnosed with ADHD, and this had a profound impact on how she uses her money to show up in the world. We talk about it all, including the impact of shame and societal expectations on your money, why understanding your money story can help you spend to embrace your identity, and how to create a money system that works for your brain. This is such an important conversation, and I hope you’re inspired to share it with your friends so we can start to change the narrative around money.
