1763: The Power of Saying ‘Enough’: A New Blueprint for Success

What happens when you decide to walk away—from burnout, expectations, from a life that looks ‘successful’ on the outside but leaves you feeling hollow inside? My guest today, Faye McCray, has lived that transformation. A high-achieving lawyer turned storyteller, strategist, and wellness advocate, Faye made the bold decision to leave corporate life and redefine success on her terms. We’ll explore what led her to this breaking point, how she navigated the uncertainty of starting over, and how she’s helping others bridge the gap between their personal identities and professional lives. Faye opens up about her lessons on slowing down, prioritizing health, and finding fulfillment beyond titles and accolades. Plus, we talk about breaking free from ‘hustle culture,’ redefining work-life balance, and why it’s okay to end the year strong—without crossing every item off your to-do list. If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or wondering how to make peace with your pace, this episode is for you. And yes, we even revisit the wild story of how our friendship began in the streets of Charlotte. Join the So Money Members Club. Download Farnoosh's free investing blueprint.
