This week, I'm sitting now with my friend, Farnoosh Torabi, who has been obsessed with how

people relate to money, including herself, pretty much for as long as she can remember.

Her first book, Your So Money, was a nationally acclaimed tell-off for people searching for financial

independence.

That led to appearances all over the media on places like the Today Show, Good Morning America,

writing for magazines like Glamour, Marie Claire, O Magazine, being featured in reality

TV shows like Bank of Mom and Dad, TLC's Real Simple Real Life, and a personal finance

series called Financially Fit on Yahoo.

Along the way, she got married, she became a mom, and also found herself in this interesting

role of the primary breadwinner in her family, and that made her really curious about what

happens when women in a relationship earn more than men.

This question became kind of an obsession for her, not only on a personal level, as she

wanted to explore how it affected her relationship with her husband and with her friends, it became

the focus of her last book when she makes more.

We dive into this question and also explore the far-reaching corners of her life as the

parents of first generation American family, her upbringing, her relationships, and what

led her into this really fascinating path and professional life.

Really excited to share this conversation with you.
