    In her new book The 50/50 Solution, creator of the Wealthy Single Mommy community Emma Johnson showcases the robust research proving that, in the vast majority of cases, equal timesharing is the best outcome for everyone in a family where the adults no longer live together. The 50/50 Solution will show you that equal parenting time leads to better physical, emotional, and mental health for children of divorce, higher career earnings for single mothers, fathers who are more engaged and whose rights as parents are preserved and far less parental and legal conflict.

    1657: Creating More Financial Security With a Portfolio Life

    My career has never been this ONE thing, and I sometimes worry that it seems like I’m scattered. My guest today wants us all to feel validated and secure in pursuing multiple pursuits simultaneously. Christina Wallace is the author of The Portfolio Life, in which she shares how we can develop an identity that is so much broader than just how we monetize our time today. Christina is also a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, where she teaches entrepreneurship and leads the HBS Startup Bootcamp. She is also the co-founder of Nothing Ventured Productions, where she and her co-founders provide access to micro-investments in Broadway theatre. Christina and I will talk more about investing in theatre, crafting your portfolio life, and the applications of AI in our daily lives.

In our house, we love “So Money”

I found “So Money” a few years ago during a time in my life where I was struggling financially. I had more than enough opportunity to grow wealth but instead ended up in debt due to poor decisions. I appreciate Farnoosh’s approachable and intentional cadence to providing financial education in a way that makes me feel seen. She is an ally to all but her episodes where she championed Black voices in the finance space resonated really well and were so sincere. In “So Money” you will learn about the tactical landscape of finance but also the emotional and psychological considerations that make the journey more meaningful. I would recommend you take a listen.

1639 money and culture

I have been listening to So Money for almost 2 years now. I’ve loved every episode, Farnoosh. However, this episode hit home with me. I may be a young white woman, but I do feel an immense amount of pressure to support my low income family. To feel guilty that I am striving for something bigger and better. And I wouldn’t have found the framework for that without Farnoosh. She reminds us that we can do it all ❤️

Best 1 stop shop for all things personal finance!

If you are looking for an amazing personal finance podcast that caters for everyone, from those who don’t know much about personal finance yet to those who consider themselves pretty knowledgeable, look no further. So money covers everything from getting started, saving, investing, debt, money psychology—to social, environmental and other societal issues impacting personal finances. A lot of the reviewers here will explain how this podcast has changed their lives, and I’d like to also add to the conversation in the hopes that my examples on how listening to this podcast has impacted my life can help you decide to listen to So Money as well.

I was moderately happy at my previous job and Episode 1147 (Ramit Sethi) helped me evaluate that job, discover where I really wanted to be in my career, gave me actionable steps on how to prepare for and ace the job search process. Then when it came time to negotiate a salary, Episode 1122 (Alexandra Carter) gave me the blueprint on how to negotiate my salary. My original offer was 40% more than I was making before, and after negotiations that rose to 53%. Now I have a job I love more than the last, where I get paid more, and have a better work-life balance.

Believe me when I say there are more episodes that have specifically made my life better, and I am confident this podcast will do the same for you. I am forever grateful I found this podcast in 2020! What are you waiting for? Hit the subscribe button and join the fun. I promise you will not regret it!
