Dove Shepard
I'm a creative and wellness practitioner focused on supporting people with ADHD and related challenges.
In my own life as a 1099 worker—freelancing, doing gig work, and managing multiple income streams—I ran into the same problem I saw in others: not a lack of discipline, but a lack of structure.
Unstructured income, combined with ADHD, made it difficult to stay consistent, know what to set aside, and feel confident about my money from week to week.
Payday Relay came out of that experience. I built it to create a simple, repeatable rhythm around income—something you can return to each week without starting over.

My Story
For years, I struggled with the unpredictability of freelance and gig work. Some weeks were great—money coming in, bills getting paid. Other weeks felt like starting from scratch.
As someone with ADHD, I found that most financial advice didn't work for me. Budgets felt restrictive. Spreadsheets got abandoned. And the shame of "not being good with money" just made everything harder.
What I needed wasn't another budget—it was a rhythm. A simple weekly check-in that told me where I stood and what to do next.
That's how Payday Relay was born. It's not about perfection. It's about showing up each week with a system that meets you where you are.
The Income Mapping Tool is the first step—helping you understand exactly what you need to earn each week to support your goals. From there, Payday Relay helps you track and manage that income week by week.
