Thank you for discussing your ADHD diagnosis. You inspired me to seek help from my doctor.

Wow!! Definitely a bullseye 🎯 Thank you for all of the sensitivity, compassion and love that you show each other and your viewers. And yes, I consider myself one of the "R&R Fam....or maybe one of the elders. Love y'all. I can relate to this topic on a personal basis as well as a professional one. So many gems in this episode.❤

I love this! Thank you for sharing. I have not been diagnosed with ADHD, but I’m pretty sure I am. I manage the executive functioning with calendars and task lists. The short term memory lapses I understand and my memory and brain fog increases during certain times of the month. I understand the tendency of impulsivity as well. I think my husband probably identifies with Julian. Lol It’s really interesting. Thank you for sharing! This makes me feel less alone and less weird. 🙏🏽

Yes....we have to be brave! Working on this 🙏🏿

Girl. I am you, and you are me. Ya'll givin me hope 😅🙏🏾

ADHD & Us is a really good book for a couple that is comprised of a neurotypical and a neurodivergent person. It has actionable steps, scenarios, etc.

This is how I got diagnosed. It changed my life for the better. So many of my friends are now diagnosed this way.

Lissen!! I was just thinking yesterday, "I wish there were resources or podcasts for Black women with ADHD and money", and today, my good friend sent me a link to this. As a Black woman who has been recently diagnosed with ADHD in my 40's, I am grateful for this conversation. Thank you - ya''ll are out here doing God's work.

The way I listened to this while in hyper focus mode cleaning up this morning. I have sooo many thoughts. Thank you, Kiersten, for being so open, and to both of you for bringing this conversation to the forefront. 🖤

This conversation is so honest and refreshing. It’s also so beautiful to see a loving Black couple have a healthy conversation about finances

Fantastic video! I randomly came across your video and I’m so thankful I did. I really enjoyed both of you and how your interactions are incredibly supportive, cohesive and respectful. The content was spot on for me having recently been diagnosed with ADHD and perimenopause. Thanks again ❤

Practice makes the videos perfect!🤗🌹

I just found you guys today and I have to say I am enchanted! Thank you for your content ❤

Thank you so very much! This was an extremely helpful podcast! As someone who is rarely still, who thrives on multi-tasking, and has not managed my money well (PAUSE) - kindness coupled with impulsivity has landed me … WELP!!!! While I recognize that I am neurodivergent, I am motivated by this podcast to get tested for ADHD! Muchas gracias, amigos! Great job, familia!

Great dialogue!❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your honesty, transparency and vulnerability are very much appreciated in all of your discussions, but even more so in discussing this very important topic with tremendous care and sensitivity. Yes! A better understanding of neurodiversity would go a long way to helping families heal and better manage the generational challenges of undiagnosed dysfunctions that have crippled us for far too long! Again, thank you for how you presented this topic and for your recommendations for further research. My prayers are with you as you continue to discover and successfully navigate your future!

Wow. This hit home. It has taken a lot of years and heartache, but I've broken free of the guilt of being successful in my tech career and approaching FIRE in the next year. My challenge has been finding my "tribe" of people of people who are high earners, understand the social contracts often placed on "the one who made it" and are in pursuit FIRE. So, just know, we're imaginary friends.

All these conversations are so relatable

Yes!!! I was just talking to my sister yesterday about this!! Lots of people expect us to do things in our family…and we’ve definitely heard the “honor thy father and mother” on several occasions smh

We know these guys 😉❤️❤️

Agreed. It’s not really being selfish because someone has to survive and thrive to continue the ethnic lineage. All cannot self destruct. Look up the seed library of Svalbard. I have decided to be a seed saver for my lineage and humanity ❤

It's hard. You always want to spoil family but you have to prioritize you first.

As a parent of 2 sons who have ADHD, that last part hit home. Our oldest just graduated and it was ROUGH! The youngest is 11 and it’s ROUGH! We are always tinkering with the idea of meds and the teachers probably hate us for not deciding to give our youngest the meds. Either way, I appreciate your candidness and I’m glad you got the diagnosis. That certainly helps to explain things.

It’s not easy to build these types of viable partnerships. As you age, it is even more important to thoroughly vet who you allow in your life. We have truly lost the art of partnership in 2024. I always admired how you as a couple are on the same page. I pray others find their own productive partnerships, whether romantic, familial, or platonic. I also encourage people to not just partner with anybody to not be alone, the partnership selection process is vital.

Great stuff. Keep being great Humans

Thank you. You've just opened my eyes to what I should do with my little savings currently earning little interest.

She so articulate and bomb. Could listen to her stories and advice all day.

Such a great and timely topic/conversation. Hoping to see continued, regular conversation on this little discussed area of black life.

Hopefully you guys do a part two on this episode.

Thank you!! 👍🏾

Very nice clip; topic recommendation….. Do a deep dive into tip 3 to 5 brokerage accounts comparing and contrasting the pros and cons of each…. Highlighting Charting, research options, debit cards, customer service, software Intuitiveness, fractional opt, whats allowed ( stocks, mutual, options, futures, forex,crypto,),and educational classes.…

Another great conversation. This channel should have 100,000 subs because this is what we need to be discussing in our community.

@10:00 Please tell me this jazz music! Song name? Song title?

Great Episode Guys 🔥🔥…My Rich Cousins spitting Facts..

taxable account will come in handy during retirement also!!

Yes!! Great and necessary discussion. So much to unpack here.

Wonderful discussion! I love these money and life talks at the table!

Congrats on the start of a new season!🌹

Love your content & format!❤

The “family contract” for me is another name for the “Black Tax”…it can be expensive, but it is very necessary. Julian’s characterization of this unwritten responsibility as “running in place” sums it all up!😥

💯 Absolutely! food for thought

This is such an important topic. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my mid 20s but it’s affected my life more deeply recently. I’ve spent the last 18+ months trying to dive deeper into how ADHD specifically manifests itself in different areas of my life. I’m still searching for answers but I’ve made progress.

I'm finally in the 5%😂. I opened a brokerage account when our income was so low that the tax incentive money wasn't worth the lack of flexibility of that money.

Loving the cloth talk subscribed!

Kudos to you for sharing your truth. We, as adults, need to be more attentive to our mental health needs. I recently started therapy and it has been very beneficial in helping me cope with the struggles and stressors in my daily life. We must strive to “put our oxygen masks on first” before we endeavor to assist those around us.🌹

I’m a single person, so after maxing my Roth and 457b, there’s not alot left to send to a taxable account. I am able to put about $50-$100 during most months. I say a little is better than nothing there and it’s accessible if a super emergency pops up.

What do you all think oh a whole life insurance or IUL ?

Great episode! We’ve been focused so much on maximizing retirement accounts. We recently decided to focus more on our brokerage accounts.
