  • Raising Financially Savvy Kids In A World of Crypto, Betting Apps, and 'Girl Math'
    Oct 16 2026
    Financial literacy isn’t just a problem for young people — it spans every generation and income bracket, and the numbers have only gotten worse over the last decade. So what actually works? This week, Jean sits down with Diana Isern, a 20-year NYC public school educator, Accredited Financial Counselor, and author of the new book Money Talks: An Educator’s Guide to Teaching Financial Empowerment. Diana approaches things differently: instead of lecturing people about what they don’t know, she starts from what families already do well, and builds from there. They dig into: The intergenerational money trauma most of us inherit without even realizing it, and how to break the cycle with your own kids Why 11th grade is the exact right moment for financial literacy to click What Diana actually tells her students when they ask her about crypto, sports betting apps, and “girl math” I'm hosting a free Forever Paycheck book club on November 17th at 7 ET.

  • Ep 549: Farnoosh Torabi on Why “Healthy” Fear Is Good for Your Money (and Your Life)
    Oct 14 2026
    Sixty percent of Americans say they feel scared when they think about the future, and women are more likely than men to feel that way. If your instinct is to push that fear down, breathe through it, or just try to be more fearless, Farnoosh Torabi wants to stop you right there. Because fear, she argues, isn’t the enemy. It’s actually one of the most powerful tools you have, if you know how to listen to it. This week, Jean sits down with Farnoosh Torabi to talk about her book, A Healthy State of Panic: Follow Your Fears to Build Wealth, Crush Your Career, and Win at Life. They dig into: The difference between healthy and unhealthy fear The live TV snafu that taught Farnoosh to stop performing and just be herself (and what that has to do with your next big meeting or financial conversation) Why your fear of money might actually be ingrained, and what to do about it The Forever Paycheck is officially a New York Times bestseller!

  • The Pink Tax on Everything: Why Women Pay More for a World Built for Men
    Oct 9 2026
    Have you ever stopped to think about how nearly every product in your life — the car you drive, the shoes on your feet, the chair you're sitting in right now — was actually designed for men? Because cars were designed for men, women are 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a crash, and 17% more likely to die in one. And it doesn't stop at cars; even your sneakers were likely modeled on a man's foot first. This week, Jean sits down with Karen Reuther — former Global Creative Director at Nike, VP of Creative Direction at Reebok, and now a design lecturer at Harvard — to talk about her new book, Man-Made: How We Designed a World That Leaves Women Out, and How We Can Make It Right. They dig into: The "headspace gap" — the hidden mental tax women pay navigating cities, commutes, and public spaces built around men How the Stanley Quencher became a case study in designing for women Practical ways to push back on the pink tax with your voice, your vote, and your wallet The Forever Paycheck is officially a New York Times bestseller!
