It’s not just about numbers. For many women, money is deeply emotional and tangled with fear, shame, control, and confidence.
But as personal finance expert Farnoosh Torabi explained on The Tamsen Show, avoiding your finances doesn’t protect you, it disempowers you.
Tamsen shared her own story: a divorce that left her over $100,000 in debt. The fear? Paralyzing. The shame? Crippling. And the hardest part wasn’t just the money… it was feeling out of control.
Farnoosh sees this all the time. Women often delay engaging with their finances because they feel like they’re “not good at money.” But as she put it, “This is not rocket science. It’s just that nobody taught us and it’s time to teach ourselves.”
Here’s what she recommends:
- Know your bare minimum expenses and build a rainy day fund (4–6x those expenses).
- Open your own credit card and bank account, even if you’re in a relationship.
- Automate savings and investing because “we can’t be trusted to do it manually.”
The most important step? Stop believing you’re bad with money. That story is holding you back from the freedom you deserve.
As Farnoosh said, “Nobody will care more about your money than you.”
