Looking for ways to save on gas or double your double coupons? Sorry, you're in the wrong place. Seeking profound ways to live a richer, happier life. Welcome to So Money.

Our values have changed. Family, connection, personal time. It matters. And so people are really thinking about, what will the redesign be as we get ready to kind of go back and the world opens up?

What is the redesign for our life that's going to work for us now? Welcome to So Money, everybody. I'm your host, Farnoosh Karabi, and thanks for your patience with me.

The last two episodes were replays as I tried to get back to normal. Normalcy, I feel much better. I'm rested. I'm actually in Philadelphia right now recording.

Tonight, we'll be joining my best friend for a comedy show. We're going to be seeing John Mulaney. First time I'm doing anything like this since probably early 2020.

But it is an indication of just how good I feel and really happy to share this episode with you. I recorded an episode with Tanisha Warner recently. She is the author of the new book, The Big Stretch. 90 days to expand your dreams, crush your goals, and create your own success.

I know many of us right now are in this space, in this headspace of wanting more. Maybe we haven't identified what that more is, whether that's more in our careers, in our relationships, just life in general.

There have been many challenges in the last two years, and they continue to affect all of us, whether we're still working from home, whether we're straddling life as a parent and as a worker.

We are, as Tanisha says, recalibrating our personal and professional goals. And in our conversation, Tanisha shares how we can move beyond that comfort zone, which by the way, I feel like the comfort zone is a happy place for me.

So I pushed her a little bit on that. Like how can we stay comfortable, but still dare ourselves to do things that will be healthy? How to identify what kind of a dreamer you are?

Tanisha is big on dreamers. I actually took her dreamer assessment quiz online. You'll find out what kind of a dreamer I am. It's kind of fun. And Tanisha opens up about her life growing up in the South, the pivotal career lesson she learned from her grandmother.

Many years ago that she continues to take with her into her life today. Here's Tanisha Warner.

Tanisha Warner, welcome to so money. I am doing my stretches.

All right. Well, thank you for having me here.

Yeah. Well, I say this because we're going to be talking about stretching, getting out of our comfort zone. You are the author of the new book, The Big Stretch 90 days 90 to expand your dreams, crush your goals and create your own success.

Is it really possible to do this in three months? That's by the end of the year.

So here's what it's possible to do. It's possible for you to have a plan and start that plan and then also walk away with the plan of action to keep going.

Well, we're going to dive into some of the action steps you've gotten this book as well as your own personal motivation for writing this.

I know you have a personal, very important personal story behind this book. It's a really special time. Tanisha to be thinking about expansion and stretching beyond our comfort zones.

As you know, there's a lot of transition happening right now in the career world. Some people are looking to quit. Others are hoping to get promoted. Others are starting their own businesses.
