Money Coach, Researcher & Host of the Esther Bangura Show
Esther is a financial wellbeing coach and researcher who helps neurodivergent adults build healthier relationships with money. As the host of The Esther Bangura Show, she speaks openly about navigating neurodivergence, faith, marriage, fertility, and identity, topics that shape how many professionals experience work and financial stability.
She authored the UK research study Managing Money With a Neurodivergent Brain (367 participants, 2025), revealing that 80% of neurodivergent adults believe they’re under-earning due to poor workplace design and executive-function barriers. Her findings directly informed CognifyMe’s product roadmap, particularly the Workstyle Matcher, Focus Toolkit, Burnout Prevention Engine, and Manager Coach Dashboard, strengthening the product-market fit for neurodivergent financial wellbeing and performance.
As a trusted voice in neuroinclusion and money coaching, Esther advises CognifyMe on financial wellbeing strategy, behavioural insights, and the integration of executive-function research into user experience design.
