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.

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.
