This week, Farnoosh shares her top advice for finishing 2024 on a financially solid foot. Whether it's maxing out retirement contributions or finding ways to save on healthcare, now's the perfect time to take a closer look at your finances.

We’re discussing a topic that’s become increasingly relevant as climate disasters become more frequent and unpredictable: financial resilience in the face of devastating events. No matter where you live, you are at risk of being affected by climate change, and it’s changing how you think about your finances, homes, and futures.

To bring this conversation to life, I’m joined by artist and creator of Sunlight Tax, Hannah Cole. Hannah recently experienced a Category 4 hurricane in her town of Asheville, NC, which brought unprecedented destruction to their community—flooding homes, destroying businesses, and taking lives. Hannah lost 20 years of her life's work as an artist when her studio was washed away. She shares her firsthand experience of the devastation and how she’s using her financial foundation to navigate this crisis. We’ll hear about her rebuilding efforts, the importance of being financially prepared for the unexpected, and how Asheville is coming together to recover.

Because financial preparedness is critical, I’m partnering with Hannah to give one lucky listener free access to her Money Boot Camp, a comprehensive course package designed for freelancers, sole proprietors, and solopreneurs. To enter, head over to my Instagram feed, where you’ll find all the details on how to apply.
