Foundations #7: Purpose Before Portfolio

Before you invest a dollar, there’s one question that matters more than the return, the structure, or the opportunity itself: What do you want this money to do for you? Not what did someone else earn. Not how much can this grow. What is this money meant to create in your life?

In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe explains why investing without purpose can leave you wealthy on paper but misaligned in reality. Money is a tool, and tools only make sense when you know what you are building. When your purpose is clear, the question changes from “Is this a good deal?” to “Does this move me toward the life I want?” That clarity helps quiet urgency, reduce comparison, and create calmer, more intentional decisions.

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

There is a version of financial security that many women were taught to chase: high income, a respected title, a steady paycheck, benefits, a retirement account.
