    Ep 549: Farnoosh Torabi on Why “Healthy” Fear Is Good for Your Money (and Your Life)

    Sixty percent of Americans say they feel scared when they think about the future, and women are more likely than men to feel that way. If your instinct is to push that fear down, breathe through it, or just try to be more fearless, Farnoosh Torabi wants to stop you right there. Because fear, she argues, isn’t the enemy. It’s actually one of the most powerful tools you have, if you know how to listen to it. This week, Jean sits down with Farnoosh Torabi to talk about her book, A Healthy State of Panic: Follow Your Fears to Build Wealth, Crush Your Career, and Win at Life. They dig into: The difference between healthy and unhealthy fear  The live TV snafu that taught Farnoosh to stop performing and just be herself (and what that has to do with your next big meeting or financial conversation) Why your fear of money might actually be ingrained, and what to do about it The Forever Paycheck is officially a New York Times bestseller!

    You Might Also Like: The Run-Through with Vogue

    Introducing Bowen Yang Wants Cher to Come See Oh, Mary! from The Run-Through with Vogue. Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue Vogue has been a fan of Oh, Mary! since before the play transferred to Broadway. Now, ten Marys later, Bowen Yang has stepped into the lead role of Mary Todd Lincoln (X), making his Broadway debut just under a month ago. Marley Marius, who made her podcast debut in 2024 while interviewing Oh, Mary! creator and performer Cole Escola, joined Chloe again, this time to talk to Yang about starring in this wildly beloved production.  Yang is a seasoned performer from years as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, but now is learning a new kind of endurance in the eight a week performances on Broadway. “I would just nod my head politely any time someone would say, like, "Broadway performers are athletes." And I never doubted it, but now I understand that it is absolutely true,” he told them. His secret stamina lies in a potent combination of energy drinks—Fuji Apple Celsius to be specific—and traditional Chinese medicine.  When asked about his most Mary-like quality, Yang turned to the duality of the clown, “There’s the misunderstood outcast and the murderous deviant. It’s like Pennywise and Bozo,” he explained, “And I am certainly not murderous. But I have this trickster energy that coincides with this idea that we all have where we feel sort of alienated by the arbitrary rules of society.”  So far, his favorite guest to come to the show has been Malala Yousafzai. And his hope is that Cher will one day make it to the theater. “I think Cher would really get a kick out of this. Like wow, that’s a horny legend. I feel comfortable saying that.” As for who should be cast next in the role of Mary? His votes are in for Keke Palmer and Lisa Rinna. Stay tuned! The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

    The Pink Tax on Everything: Why Women Pay More for a World Built for Men

    Have you ever stopped to think about how nearly every product in your life — the car you drive, the shoes on your feet, the chair you're sitting in right now — was actually designed for men? Because cars were designed for men, women are 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a crash, and 17% more likely to die in one. And it doesn't stop at cars; even your sneakers were likely modeled on a man's foot first. This week, Jean sits down with Karen Reuther — former Global Creative Director at Nike, VP of Creative Direction at Reebok, and now a design lecturer at Harvard — to talk about her new book, Man-Made: How We Designed a World That Leaves Women Out, and How We Can Make It Right.  They dig into: The "headspace gap" — the hidden mental tax women pay navigating cities, commutes, and public spaces built around men How the Stanley Quencher became a case study in designing for women Practical ways to push back on the pink tax with your voice, your vote, and your wallet The Forever Paycheck is officially a New York Times bestseller!

    Dr. Jill Biden on Why Every Woman Needs Her Own Money

    It's no secret that Dr. Jill Biden has been through a lot. She opens her new memoir, View From The East Wing, by telling us about the heartbreak of losing her son Beau to brain cancer at the age of 46. In the wake of that loss, she and her husband almost lost their son Hunter Biden to addiction. And more recently, she has been by former President Joe Biden's side through his diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, though she says they are very optimistic about his most recent scans. Yet in an era where "unprecedented" has been used more times than most of us can stomach, Jill Biden has stayed steady — continuing to teach as a community college English professor even through her husband's presidency, making her the only First Lady in history to hold an outside job while her husband was in office. In this episode, Jean Chatzky sits down with Dr. Jill Biden to talk about money, independence, and resilience. They discuss: How a first marriage that ended in financial panic shaped everything she believes about money Why she and Joe Biden have always kept separate bank accounts, and why she thinks every woman should Her message to women in their 50s and 60s who feel like they've missed their window Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why I Changed My Mind About Annuities After 20 Years

    For almost twenty years, HerMoney CEO Jean Chatzky was an annuity denier. In 2006, when her mother's financial advisor suggested putting some of her mom's money into one, Jean told him, flatly, to forget it. This week, she tells the full story of what changed her mind. Jean walks through the research that convinced her — retirees with annuitized income spend meaningfully more than retirees with similar wealth who don't have it, in some cases twice as much — and unpacks the psychology behind why a paycheck feels safer to spend than drawing down a balance on your own.  Want a signed copy of The Forever Paycheck?
