42 — How to Conquer FOMO with Financial Expert Farnoosh Torabi

Most of us go to great lengths to avoid uncomfortable emotions like anxiety or fear. But when we learn to question our fears and understand their origins, we can learn to use them to our advantage. On today's episode, we discuss facing fears head-on with a specific focus on how to cope with the fear of missing out.

Farnoosh Torabi is a financial expert, best-selling author, and host of the popular podcast So Money. With over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, she has become known as the "money lady." Farnoosh's latest book, The Healthy State of Panic," explores the power of fear and how it can be harnessed to achieve success.

Some of the things she shares are:

• How fear is often the underlying emotion behind our financial decisions.
• How power can be used for positive purposes, such as uplifting and supporting others.
• FOMO can be a sign that we are craving a certain feeling, not necessarily the thing everyone else is doing.
• How to define your own version of success and focus on what brings you joy and fulfillment.
• Why setting boundaries and saying no can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life.
