After years of navigating trauma, ADHD, and financial instability, Natasha Barber decided to build the financial tool she always wished existed.
In this episode of Hope, Power and Healthcare, Chris and Melissa sit down with Natasha Barber, the founder and CEO of Pistachio Pay. Pistachio Pay is a trauma-informed financial wellness platform, designed specifically for neurodivergent individuals, or those whose brains do not respond to the traditional budgeting tools.
Natasha shares her powerful journey, and the personal experiences that inspired her to build a completely new category of “fintech”. After years of navigating through financial instability and systemic barriers, Natasha set out to create a new tool that actually meets neurodivergent people where they are.
This conversation explores why traditional budgeting apps fail so many neurodivergent users, and the connection between financial stress, mental health and suicide risk. The conversation gets personal covering resilience, entrepreneurship, and the importance of building systems that work for people, not against them.
This episode has something for everyone, you won’t want to miss it.
