Dr. Elisa Chiang: I think there's different levels of budgeting for some people having a strict budget really stresses them out. And I don't know that you have to have a really strict budget. I think you do have to have a sense of what you're spending and where your money is going.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Hi, welcome to beyond ADHD, A Pysician's Perspective podcast. I am your host, Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh. I'm a family medicine doc, with ADHD, practicing in a rural setting in Texas. I am a mother to two very energetic toddlers for three and four years of age.
And in the past year, I have undergone radical transformation after discovery, ADHD coaching, and life-coaching. For the past decade, my typical day consisted of having 300 charts, backlog, a graveyard of unfinished. And a lack of time awareness. I didn't realize that I was not filling my own cup. I was running on fumes the last year I figured out the secret; learn to stay in your lane. So now my mission is to help others develop systems that tap into their zone of genius. So they too can reclaim their personal lives back. Like I have.

Dr. Elisa Chiang: I'm so happy to be here. Thank you.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Can you tell us a little bit about how you started this and money mindset? How did that come about?
Dr. Elisa Chiang: You know, so in the beginning of. Yeah, everyone. When they're starting to love, coach business tries to think about like, well, who are my people and what can I specifically do to serve my people?
And so being a physician, you know, it's natural to want to coach other physicians because that's, you know, our people. And one of the places where, I have a lot more, you know, knowledge and just, experience is with. Investing and partially with money mindset. And I have to admit it's not because I've had to overcome a lot of, money mindset issues, but I, I guess was blessed with parents who actually talked about money and you know, not everything.
It's not like it was a perfect money upbringing, but. My parents, when I was young, like, you know, money was discussed in the household. When we got allowance, it was very specifically to kind of teach us how to manage money. When we want to kind of bigger ticket items like a bicycle, we actually would go 50 50 with our parents.
So we understood the value of money, the bio of working for something that we wanted and how much things like actually. And so that continued, you know, in college, like there was always talk about like saving for college and how much, , you know, college cost. And then when we're in college, like actually managing our money, like my sister and I literally had like independently, I don't even think it's like, my parents told us this, but somehow we just independently like had spreadsheets where we actually put all of our spending and like, yeah, like who does that?
But like, literally she did it. I did it. It's not like. It's not like we were ever told to do it, but somehow it just came up like, well, we should be tracking everything we're spending and making sure that like, it falls in, you know, the budget that we have so that, you know, we can, you know, I mean, freshman year we were all on meal plans, but after freshman year we were no longer on meal plans and we had kind of a budget.
And so we wanted to make sure that. Yeah, we had food.
Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: That's amazing. You know, I remember I'm the oldest of my family and I'm the first one to go to college and education was always like something that my parents were like, this is how you're going to get ahead. This is how you're going to have money security.
Right. But I remember like, I would always, because we didn't have excess money. So to say, like, I got scholarships and I was also on financial aid. I remember I was choosing like the biggest loan, like not knowing that eventually I was going to have to pay it back. Right. And so I would always choose the biggest loan and like, Use it to go on vacations and like all this other stuff, instead of being mindful.
Oh, I should be careful. But it was, it was silly because I remember always looking to see if I could find like a cheap book, because those were expensive. They were like $500 or something crazy. Right. But at the same time, I wasn't really c...
