1763: The Power of Saying ‘Enough’: A New Blueprint for Success

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] (https://fayemccray.com/) , 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] (http://www.somoneymembers.com/) .

1762: The #1 Framework for Modern Couples to Manage Money

Most couples struggle to get on the same page regarding money and relationships. Less than 40% of married couples discuss their finances in detail—a staggering statistic that often leads to miscommunication, conflict, and, for some, divorce. But today’s guests, Jessica and Brandon Norwood, are trying to change that narrative. Jessica and Brandon are the dynamic duo behind [The Sugar Daddy Podcast] (https://www.thesugardaddypodcast.com/) , a show dedicated to helping millennials break the stigma around money conversations and build wealth as a team. As a married couple who have navigated everything from student loans to merging their financial lives, they bring a wealth of personal and professional insight. Jessica, a tech professional and the breadwinner in their family, and Brandon, a licensed financial planner, have developed a proven 5-step framework for creating financial harmony in relationships. In this episode, we dive into: ---The importance of shared values and financial alignment—why dreaming big as a couple is key. ---Tackling financial dealbreakers—and why financial infidelity might be a red flag you can’t ignore. ---What it’s like being a female breadwinner—and how Jessica and Brandon embrace modern parenthood and partnership. ---And a bold take on affording kids—why waiting for financial “readiness” might mean you’ll never leap.

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.

1739: Financial Resilience After Hurricane Helene

We’re discussing a topic that’s become increasingly relevant as climate disasters become more frequent and unpredictable: financial resilience in the face of devastating events. No matter where you live, you are at risk of being affected by climate change, and it’s changing how you think about your finances, homes, and futures. To bring this conversation to life, I’m joined by artist and creator of [Sunlight Tax] (http://www.sunlighttax.com/) , Hannah Cole. Hannah recently experienced a Category 4 hurricane in her town of Asheville, NC, which brought unprecedented destruction to their community—flooding homes, destroying businesses, and taking lives. Hannah lost 20 years of her life's work as an artist when her studio was washed away. She shares her firsthand experience of the devastation and how she’s using her financial foundation to navigate this crisis. We’ll hear about her rebuilding efforts, the importance of being financially prepared for the unexpected, and how Asheville is coming together to recover. Because financial preparedness is critical, I’m partnering with Hannah to give one lucky listener free access to her [Money Boot Camp] (https://www.sunlighttax.com/moneybootcamp-old222) , a comprehensive course package designed for freelancers, sole proprietors, and solopreneurs. To enter, head over to my [Instagram] (http://www.instagram.com/farnooshtorabi) feed, where you’ll find all the details on how to apply. ... Read more
