High Income is Not Wealth with Dr. Felecia Froe

This episode is part of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, where Dr. Felecia Froe steps out of interview mode and into the core truths that sit beneath all of her conversations about money, investing, and building a meaningful life. 

In this solo reflection, she challenges one of the most deeply held assumptions many of us carry: that earning a high income automatically equals financial security. Drawing from personal experience and years of working with high-achieving women, Dr. Froe unpacks the difference between income and wealth, and why so many capable, responsible earners still feel financially uneasy. Rather than offering quick fixes or strategies, this episode invites listeners to slow down, listen to their discomfort, and recognize it as information. In the Foundations series, awareness comes first — because before wealth can be built, it must be clearly understood.

Choice Is Dignity with Stephanie Georges

After four decades guiding companies through disruption and reinvention, Stephanie Georges realized she was applying every lesson to everyone but herself. In this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Stephanie sits down with Felecia to unpack the slow, quiet unraveling that led her to walk away from a senior leadership career in defense technology, and how that leap became the Meraki Dignity Project, a platform built to help women navigate change with clarity, community, and financial confidence.

Foundations #9: Community Changes How Women Build Wealth

We talk a lot about the internal work of building wealth: reframing what money means, examining our triggers, defining what security looks like for you. In this episode, Felecia turns to something we don’t talk about enough, the myth that financially successful women figure everything out alone. She unpacks how isolation taxes our financial lives in decisions delayed, opportunities missed, and energy spent performing a confidence we don’t actually feel, and makes the case for why the right community isn’t about accountability check-ins, but about something deeper: belief, believing in yourself and being in a room with other women who believe in you.

What If the Money in Your Account Isn’t Real Wealth? with Paul Musson
