Derek Miller wears many hats: money coach, musician, athlete, performer, cider guide, and more. His ADHD story is just as full of twists. Derek didn’t find out he had ADHD until college. The jump from high school left him struggling to focus — especially while also caring for his wife during her cancer treatment. To get through the stress, he often used caffeine, while also working on managing his emotions and finding ways to improve himself.Derek’s view of life and money also changed during his time in Mozambique, where he served as a Mormon missionary. That experience shaped how he thinks about community and resilience. In this episode of “ADHD Aha!,” host Laura Key talks with Derek about majoring in math even though he had math anxiety, how he learned to handle his emotions and focus, and why he now helps others build a healthier relationship with money.For more on this topic<ul><li><a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/adhd-money-management">ADHD and managing money</a></li><li><a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/adhd-caffeine">ADHD and caffeine</a></li></ul>Timestamps(00:00) Intro(01:07) Derek’s college ADHD diagnosis story(05:53) Math anxiety(09:04) Self awareness and introspection(12:32) How emotional money can be(15:49) Derek’s time living in Mozambique, and what he learned about rejection sensitivity(21:40) What’s next for Derek(22:53) Outro and creditsFor a transcript and more resources, visit the <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/adhd-aha">ADHD Aha!</a> show page on Understood.org. We love hearing from our listeners!
