What if the key to becoming more self-reliant and financially resilient in midlife starts with something as counterintuitive as embracing fear? Journalist and finance pro Farnoosh Torabi invites us to throw our arms around fear to unlock growth and resiliency in midlife. Farnoosh walks us through nine common fears and how they can catapult growth in her latest book, “A Healthy State of Panic: Follow Your Fears to Build Wealth, Crush Your Career, and Win at Life.” We explore biggies like the fear of regret, failure, and loneliness, why we should stop feeling bad for being afraid, and how to make friends with fear without letting it stop you from moving forward. Bonus! We uncover the unsung gifts of fear, including self-reflection, wisdom, self-advocacy, and inner peace. This conversation might just change your life!
