Both hosts emphasize identifying triggers for impulsive behavior and practicing self-compassion. Katy mentions that financial challenges are common, reassuring listeners to accept themselves without judgment.

In their discussion on tools to tackle impulsive spending and ADHD-related challenges, Janita highlights the importance of recognizing and being aware of impulsive habits. She advises changing the inner monologue to seek help without using ADHD as an excuse to overspend, setting spending limits, and delaying purchases to break impulsive behaviors into manageable steps. Future episodes will address debt freedom and no-spend months to offer further financial guidance.

Katy believes that individuals with ADHD or impulsive spending habits can still achieve financial success by setting small goals and being aware of their financial activities. She introduces Janita as a business coach and strategist dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build sustainable online businesses. Janita, who navigates ADHD and money herself, runs the Business Mama's community and the ADHD Entrepreneurs Society.

These impulsive buying behaviors often lead to regret, creating a cycle of overspending and feeling stuck. Janita emphasizes the importance of taking a step back and thinking things through to avoid impulsive buying, focusing the conversation on how these challenges impact business and money management for individuals with ADHD.
