MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Financial expert Pattie Ehsaei was born in Iran and left on the last plane out during the revolution — the start of a life spent moving, rebuilding, and refusing to rely on anyone but herself. She began working at 10, taking out neighbors' trash for quarters, went on to become a criminal prosecutor, and then fell into finance, where she found her real mission: teaching women that financial freedom is never just about money.
In this episode, Chef Claudia Sandoval and Pattie trace their food memories back to her aunt Neshat's aromatic ghormeh sabzi, slow-cooked with bones for the marrow, the bone broth their cultures were sipping long before the wellness crowd discovered it, and a Persian spaghetti steamed over a crispy tortilla. Along the way, they talk about growing up broke, why 98% of domestic violence cases involve financial abuse, and how a separate bank account and a six-month emergency fund can be the difference between staying and getting free.
At its heart, this is a conversation about options — the freedom that comes from being financially whole — and about the failures nobody sees behind the success. Because for Pattie, whoever controls the gold makes the rules, and she wants every woman to have the playbook.
