## Resource

Today I’m joined by Carrie Joy Grimes. founder of WorkMoney and the author of the new book The Joy of Money . She’s a former union organizer who spent years helping workers fight for better wages and benefits while also trying to untangle her own complicated relationship with money — debt, shame, financial anxiety, all of it. In this episode, we talk about why so many women still avoid taking ownership of their finances, how to rebuild confidence after money mistakes, whether homeownership still makes sense, and how to separate what society tells us should make us happy from what actually does. We also talk about the inspiration behind her new book, The Joy of Money , and why she believes financial security is not just about numbers — it’s about feeling safer, freer, and more in control of your life. Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand. Early bird registration is now open! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
