Understanding Your Finances Is True Self-Care

Description

“Knowing about your money is the ultimate form of self care.”

— Farnoosh Torabi

I’m so excited about my guest for this episode! Farnoosh Torabi is a leading personal finance authority and the author of three books on personal finance and mindset.

Her latest book, When She Makes More: 10 Rules for Breadwinning Women, is about the new rules for love and life, and gives top-earning women the strategies, tools, and mindset to really be empowered in the role and stop it from getting in the way of their relationships.

More women than ever find themselves in the position of being the higher earner in their relationship.

Unfortunately, social beliefs about women and money haven’t caught up to this reality.

A 2020 UBS survey of over 1800 married couples found that OVER HALF of the women still let male spouses handle all long-term financial and investment decisions, and a recent Pew study found that many still believe that the breadwinner should be a man’s role.

While we want and expect gender equality in society, there’s still a huge gap between our progressive values and our outdated social conditioning!
