## Resource

Join us for Book to Brand on Friday, October 9, in New York City. Early bird tickets are available now at BookToBrand.co . Farnoosh shares a parenting mishap from her book A Healthy State of Panic —accidentally sending her kids to the wrong birthday party—and explains why low-stakes failures can help us build resilience instead of fear. Then, she tackles listener questions about whether to stay in an unhappy marriage for financial reasons, how to navigate a toxic workplace, and what home repairs are worth making before a sale. Plus: advice for Penn State finance freshmen looking to stand out, tips for choosing the right investment platform, and what to know before setting up an S-corporation for your business. This episode aired originally on June 24, 2023. Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand. Early bird registration is now open! Hosted on Acast.
