The Psychology of Money (Why We Do What We Do)

In this Best Of episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, host Bruce Sellery explores the powerful connection between money and mental health. ADHD coach Leanne Gawley explains why budgeting feels different for neurodivergent brains and shares practical tips for managing impulse spending, time blindness, and financial overwhelm. Deloitte psychologist and behavioural scientist Michelle Hilscher reveals how scammers weaponize psychology, using urgency, FOMO, and false intimacy, and how to protect yourself and loved ones. Licensed insolvency trustee Rob Kilner discusses how debt load affects sleep, relationships, and overall well-being, and why simply talking about it is the first step toward relief. Mental well-being advocate Olga Morawczynski, co-founder of Heal3, puts a real dollar figure on burnout and the cost of ignoring your mental health. Finally, financial educator and author Kelly Keehn shares insights from her book Save Yourself, explaining how your money identity, and even AI tools, can help you take control of your financial future.
