What’s Keeping You From Being at Peace With Money with Carrie Friedberg

Money isn’t just numbers. It’s emotion, identity, and the stories we carry without realizing it.

 

In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with financial coach and author Carrie Friedberg to unpack what’s really behind financial stress, even for high-achieving women who “should” have it figured out. Carrie shares her personal journey from overwhelming debt and shame to becoming a financial coach who helps others build clarity, confidence, and peace with money.

 

This conversation goes beyond budgeting. It explores the emotional weight of money, the difference between financial therapy and coaching, and why so many women avoid looking at their numbers even when they’re earning well.

In this ICYMI conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Sandi Bragar and Cammie Doder on the Money Tales podcast to trace the money narrative that shaped her from childhood all the way to founding Money With Mission. She opens up about watching her mother stay in a domestic violence relationship for financial reasons, the credit card mistakes she made in medical school, and how she used the CASHFLOW 101 game to teach her own daughters about money years before most parents even start the conversation. Felecia also walks through the deal that changed everything: a patient named Jamie who challenged her to buy her first real estate property and removed all the risk in doing so.

Felecia reframes the whole story: what looks like carelessness is actually overwhelm, what looks like incapability is actually a lack of preparation, and what looks like personal failure is actually a systemic failure.

Her mind as rewired about the idea of money after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki. In this ICYMI conversation with Mary Katherine Johnson of Planet Wealth, Felecia traces her path buying 18 properties in two years, losing nearly everything in the 2008 crash, and rebuilding into a social impact investor who’s now running sober living homes and fighting food deserts. She gets honest about the fear that doesn’t fully go away, even after decades of deals, the mindset shift from working for money to making money work for you, and why she believes no woman should ever feel financially stuck in a job or relationship.
