    What happens when you decide to walk away—from burnout, expectations, from a life that looks ‘successful’ on the outside but leaves you feeling hollow inside? My guest today, Faye McCray, has lived that transformation. A high-achieving lawyer turned storyteller, strategist, and wellness advocate, Faye made the bold decision to leave corporate life and redefine success on her terms. We’ll explore what led her to this breaking point, how she navigated the uncertainty of starting over, and how she’s helping others bridge the gap between their personal identities and professional lives. Faye opens up about her lessons on slowing down, prioritizing health, and finding fulfillment beyond titles and accolades. Plus, we talk about breaking free from ‘hustle culture,’ redefining work-life balance, and why it’s okay to end the year strong—without crossing every item off your to-do list. If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or wondering how to make peace with your pace, this episode is for you. And yes, we even revisit the wild story of how our friendship began in the streets of Charlotte. Join the So Money Members Club. Download Farnoosh's free investing blueprint.

    1759: Your #1 Asset Isn't Money. It's Time. Here's How to Make the Most of It.

    Today’s conversation will change your thoughts about time—our most precious and often overlooked currency. Returning to the show is Heather Chauvin, a dynamic speaker, coach, and author whose wisdom on time management is nothing short of transformative. Heather’s journey began in a crucible of crisis—a stage-four cancer diagnosis. Still, from that challenging moment, she built a revolutionary approach to owning and investing time to live richly and intentionally. In this episode, Heather and I dive into her signature concept of "energetic time management," where time isn’t just about productivity or calendars; it’s about aligning your energy, values, and desires to create a life that feels as good as it looks. She shares the origin of this system, the profound realizations she had while juggling motherhood and a career, and why most of us are in what she calls "time debt." Heather explains how to break free, set boundaries, and treat time like money—because every moment matters. We’ll also talk about practical strategies: building a dream calendar and redefining your relationship with time. Also: Why outsourcing isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity for creating space to thrive. Plus, Heather offers profound insights for women navigating the dual roles of professional ambition and domestic responsibility without losing themselves.
