What’s one thing someone said you couldn’t do, even if that someone was you, that you did anyway? That question kicks off Women Who Dare, a new Wealth B-Hers series. First up is Dr. Jessica Chandler, a gynecologist who chose gynecology-only from the start, a path almost no one around her was taking. She takes us from a small Mississippi town to a full ride at Vanderbilt, through a brutal first semester and a professor who refused to write her a letter, to the day she walked away from a secure job so she wouldn’t end up with “a bunch of receipts” instead of time with her family.
Along the way, she and Dr. Felecia Froe talk about the family legacy behind her “don’t quit” spirit, why a cash runway makes bold moves possible, and why a path that never looks the way you pictured can still work out. If you’ve ever talked yourself out of a big move, press play. There are no straight lines here, only small dares that keep building.
