The Cost of Investing — and the Cost of Standing Still with Krisstina Wise

In this deeply honest and reflective conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe welcomes back Krisstina Wise for a very different kind of discussion from their previous appearance. Instead of focusing on wins and strategies, they explore the realities most people avoid, including loss, intuition, risk, shame, resilience, and what it actually takes to stay in the game long term. This episode is candid and unfiltered and includes occasional strong language as part of an authentic conversation about real-life experiences.

 

Krisstina opens up about a brutal year that included near–seven-figure risk, broken trust, and the emotional toll of not listening to her intuition. Together, she and Felecia examine why every form of wealth-building involves risk, why even experienced investors make painful mistakes, and how transparency and community often become the true path to recovery. The conversation also looks forward, touching on redefining success, blending intuition with strategy, and stepping into a more sustainable, aligned way of building both wealth and life.

The Client a $1.4 Billion Advisor Won’t Take with Jonathan Steele

What if the way you think about money today traces back to something that happened when you were twelve or thirteen? On this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Jonathan Steele, founder and chief investment officer of One Wealth Advisors, a firm managing $1.4 billion for roughly 400 families. Jonathan traces his money story back to eighth grade, watching his mom pay off a department store credit card the second they got home, and then walks through his own winding path from a restaurant kitchen to cold calling at Bear Stearns to building an independent firm with his brother.

ICYMI: Creating Social Impact Through Real Estate Investing with Felecia Froe

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn’t the last thing she’d ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn’t realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate as a financial escape hatch from bad jobs and bad relationships.

Foundations #11: The Cost of Waiting

There’s a kind of waiting that doesn’t feel like waiting. You know exactly what you need to do. You’ve meant to do it for longer than you’d like to admit. You keep finding a reason why right now isn’t quite the right time, and you tell yourself that’s responsible, that’s thoughtful, that’s just good timing. In episode 11 of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe is done letting that story stand. She breaks down exactly what waiting costs, the compound growth that quietly disappears, the confidence that erodes one avoided month at a time, the low hum of 2am anxiety that never fully goes away. She shares her own experience starting over in the middle of real loss after 2008, and she lands on something most financial advice never says out loud: the perfect moment to begin is never coming, for anyone.
