Farnoosh Torabi

Farnoosh Torabi is one of America’s most recognized personal finance experts, blending sharp financial insight with accessible, human-centered storytelling. She began her career as a researcher at Money magazine before becoming a financial correspondent for TheStreet TV and a go-to expert on shows like Good Morning America and The Today Show.

In 2015, she launched the Webby Award–winning podcast So Money, which has since surpassed 40 million downloads. The show features unfiltered conversations with founders, authors, and creatives about how money intersects with ambition, fear, and identity.

She’s the author of several bestselling books, most recently A Healthy State of Panic (2023), where she argues that embracing fear—not avoiding it—is the key to building wealth and living well. With degrees from Penn State and Columbia Journalism School, Farnoosh has spent two decades helping people—especially women—own their financial power without shame or overwhelm.
