    1790: Rethinking the Stay-at-Home Parent Role (And Getting Paid for It)

    Today we’re catching up with the incredible Jannese Torres, host of Yo Quiero Dinero podcast and trust me—she’s had a year. Since her last visit, she’s launched her book Financially Lit, traveled the country on a book tour while secretly pregnant, became a mom, got engaged, and even bought a house. But that’s just the beginning. In this conversation, we dive into how financial independence has reshaped her life as a new parent, her approach to building wealth while growing a family, and—something we don’t talk about nearly enough—how she and her fiancé have structured their finances now that he’s a stay-at-home parent on her payroll. From prenups to parenthood, from self-employment hacks to the real cost of giving birth (wait until you hear her hospital bill), Jannese gets real about the financial and emotional shifts that come with these big life changes.

    1789: How One Listener Quit Her Job, Built Wealth, and Helped Her Mom Invest

    Guest Brittany Wilson started listening to So Money in 2020 when she realized she needed to take charge of her finances. She grew up with little financial literacy and took on high-interest student loans without knowing what she was signing up for. But once she made the decision to educate herself, everything changed. Since then, Brittany has increased her salary by $42,000, fully funded her emergency savings, diversified her investments, started a side business, and—perhaps most importantly—helped her mom open her very first Roth IRA. Last year, she took one of the biggest leaps of her life: quitting her job to run her career coaching business, Career Candor, full-time. In today’s conversation, we discuss Brittany’s financial transformation, how she navigated job loss and used it as a catalyst for entrepreneurship, and her top career coaching advice—including how AI is changing the hiring process. We also talk about the emotional side of money, the power of financial friendships, and why helping others—especially the women in our lives—can be one of the most rewarding financial moves we make.

    Farnoosh reflects on turning 45—what’s changing in her mindset around money, career, and personal growth, and the biggest financial lessons she's carrying into this next phase of life. From the mailbag, Farnoosh tackles two important listener questions—one from a 60-year-old attorney wondering how to catch up on retirement savings after prioritizing family caregiving, and another from a listener strategizing their Backdoor Roth IRA while juggling old 401(k accounts.

    1787: The Best Ways to Overcome Emotional Money Blocks with Jessica Moorhouse

    Today, we’re diving deep into the real barriers that prevent many of us from achieving financial freedom—and spoiler alert, it’s not just about the dollars and cents. My guest is Jessica Moorhouse, financial counselor, speaker, and now author of the highly-anticipated new book, Everything But Money: The Hidden Barriers Between You and Financial Freedom. In her work, Jessica uncovers how trauma, shame, and our earliest experiences with money shape the way we earn, save, and spend today. Whether it's that nagging sense of guilt when you earn more than your parents or the fear of spending because of a scarcity mindset, these hidden barriers can quietly hold us back for years. Jessica helps us understand where these money blocks come from, how they manifest in our adult lives, and—most importantly—how to start healing from them.

    1786: The Secret to Launching Big Ideas Faster and Better

    What does it really take to launch a big idea—one that can change your career, business, or even the world? Is being a visionary enough, or is there a hidden formula for success? Guest Jen Kem says it's all about building the right "unicorn team." But here’s the twist: even if you’re a solopreneur or running a small business—like me—this book is still for you. Jen’s framework isn’t about having a massive team; it’s about understanding the roles and energies you bring to your work and how to fill in the gaps to achieve success faster and with less burnout. Jen is a brand strategist, entrepreneur, and author of Unicorn Team: The Nine Leadership Types You Need to Launch Your Big Ideas with Speed and Success. With a career working on iconic initiatives for companies like Microsoft, Coca-Cola, and Oracle, she’s now revealing how big ideas succeed—not just through visionaries, but through the right mix of leaders who execute and get results. We'll learn how to identify your own leadership type, how even a solo effort can become a "team" by leveraging the right resources, and hear the inspiring story of how a small team at Moderna outpaced industry giants to lead the charge on a life-saving vaccine.
