Setbacks are unavoidable in business, finance, career, and relationships. While uncomfortable, they provide an opportunity to redefine success and gain a renewed perspective. Some of the world’s most prominent leaders attribute their setbacks to the reason they found success. Their lowest moments paved the way for their creative rebirth. But why does this happen? Guest Amy Shoenthal spent the past few years researching this phenomenon and developing a framework for her book, The Setback Cycle. On the podcast, she shares the science behind setbacks and how everyone can navigate their businesses, careers -- and lives -- armed with the tools to work through this inevitable cycle.  Hosted on Acast.

The "tradwife," short for "traditional wife" is a fast-growing lifestyle that emulates the 1950's housewife and can be seen everywhere on social media today.

Some accounts are a parody. Many are real. Some consider this a movement against modern feminism and the burnout culture so many women experience as they aspire to "have it all." Journalist and author Jo Piazza has been following the tradwife culture for the past year and shares her insights.More about Jo Piazza: She is a bestselling author, podcast creator of Under the Influence, and award-winning journalist.

**Last day to secure a spot (for a while) in Farnoosh's So Money Members Club**It’s Valentine’s week, and my birthday week, so I’m kicking things off with a show topic that’s near and dear: Why women need to have their own money. Everyone should have their own money, but this message needs to be emphasized more for women who may sometimes feel it’s not their strength or role to make money or manage money in a relationship.The impetus for this episode was a New York Times essay entitled Never Rely on a Man’s Money. Maggie Smith writes about how her divorce was a shock that led her to a new vow: financial independence. We’ll get into her story and bring on our guest today, Maggie Johndrow, a partner and financial advisor at Johndrow Wealth. She’s one of my favorite advisors, and we share a common love for making women rich. We talk about what she sees in her practice; oftentimes, women come into post-divorce with financial regrets. What are those regrets? What are the absolute facts women need to know about their financial lives, and how can they insist upon more financial transparency and equality in their relationship?

I have a question, I have been listening to your podcasts & many others for years, so adjuster now? Why are all the white finance podcasts are focusing on inclusivity. Did you not notice the small numbers of blacks for years at your workshops, on your jobs & not in leadership positions. Why now, I think you all need to podcast about White blindness, not privilege, because once yall get tired of this, back to the same.
