About Mad About Money
I'm Maddy Alexander-Grout.
I am a money and business coach, visibility strategist, author, speaker, and proud disability champion.
I’m also someone who’s been through it. ADHD, chronic illness, mental health struggles, trauma, debt, burnout, I’ve lived it all. And I know what it feels like to be left behind by a system that wasn’t built for people like us.
I’ve been £40,000 in debt (twice). I’ve battled shame, overwhelm, and self-doubt. I’ve built a successful business from my bedroom, and a movement from my lived experience.
Mad About Money isn’t just a brand. It’s a support system for the people the government are forgetting. The ones who’ve been boxed out, burnt out, and underestimated. It’s a free community where we talk honestly about money, life, business, and well-being, where no one has to mask, hustle, or pretend they’re fine.
Whether you’re neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, managing mental health, from a marginalised background, or simply someone who’s always felt “too much” or “not enough”, this is your place.
My Mission
Help people sort their money story, own their soundtrack, and thrive in life and business on their own terms. Through coaching, community, and real, messy, empowering conversations, I support underrepresented humans to get visible, get paid, and get free to live the life they want.
You can read about my own bumpy journey in my book, Mad About Money.
You can listen to my no-BS podcast, Mad About Money, where we get real about the stuff no one else talks about.
And if you’re in business, my membership Invisible to Influential helps you show up, stand out, and sell without selling your soul.
I also support clients through Access to Work, helping people from underrepresented communities access the coaching and strategy they need to succeed.

Behind the scenes That’s where you’ll find Vix, my co-founder. She runs the operational and financial side of Mad About Money, quietly and brilliantly. She might not be front and centre, but this entire mission wouldn’t run without her. Together, we’re building something bold, inclusive, and unshakably real. Because no one should be left behind, not on our watch. We only have one rule. No douchebags allowed. As long as you are a human who supports other humans come on in and hang out with us, learn some stuff, sort your shizz out and make some friends.
