Keeping Finance Personal by Ellyce Fulmore
4.0
This book is not my normal read but the neurodivergent approach to finance had me immediately requesting an early release copy!
Thank you @hachettego and @ellyce.fulmore for providing me with a copy.
The material was easy to read, approachable and made my adhd brain feel empowered to try new methods to budget and take on finance in ways that will make me feel successful in the future!
I resonated with the college and scarcity section!
I grew up VERY poor.
When I finally had money and a career I felt like I needed to provide for my inner child to begin healing those wounds.
In reality I was creating new wounds for my inner young adult with new financial scarcity.
With college I felt like I went from rigid structure while working full time and in college full time to nothing and my spending was my coping mechanism for the lack of structure.
This book opened some new chapters of healing for me to explore in therapy and journaling.
Things I was avoiding, things I did not recognize in myself and my habits.
For all of my neuro friends, please take a chance on this book if you are anything like me and struggle with an all or nothing mindset, have struggled with scarcity or have at times struggled with outright avoidant behaviors when it comes to finance.

Not at all what I expected. Had to text my friend several times to say ‘did I really just read this?’ And now I cannot stop reading this story.
I am obsessed and preordered devil!

A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L. Armentrout

This series beats the sequel FBAA.
The character progression is more dynamic and it could be due to a lot of the world being created already in the sequel that came out previously.
It just felt like in the follow up books for FBAA we spent a lot of time hearing about Poppy using her wind to level trees while casteel is locked up.
This series continuously moves through the world and character’s past, present and future challenges to develop them into who they will become together.
Is Sera a little annoying with her need to constantly push Ash away? Sure.
Is Ash’s avoidant ass annoying? Sure.
Do I love them? Absolutely
