Inflation and Investing – Women, Do Not Fear!

The stock market is volatile. That’s scary for your 401K, especially if you are thinking of using it soon. These days the cost of everything is higher because of inflation, and it can trigger even those making high incomes to fear not having enough to care for themselves or their families.

Remember fear is:

False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

It’s that thing working to keep us safe, trying to protect us from feeling pain, keeping us from expanding and growing and reaching our full potential. 


Fear will stop you every time. It is always there, and we often are discouraged before our intelligence has had a chance to evaluate. Recognizing it and accepting it for what it is will help you move forward.

Step through the veil of fear, let your more evolved brain, the prefrontal cortex, work through the problem, let it decide the value of the fear. This is where the good stuff is, the “I can’t believe how far I’ve come” revelations.

Remember that scary word, inflation? It’s the trendy topic on every financial news show and article, and the story they are building has us thinking we can’t possibly survive this. 

That is not true. If we step through the veil and let our prefrontal cortex help, we can work out how to survive. 

There are investments that work well against inflations AND investments available because of inflation. Watch this video from my friend Michelle Connell of Portia Capital.

Michelle talks about investing in things that make sense during inflation, things like energy, housing, and food. All things that we cannot live without and things that we can invest in as hard assets

The need for affordable housing is rising. The need for shorter supply chains for fresh food is here.

If these are things that you are thinking about, I’d love to talk to you about investing in affordable housing, farmland, cleaner energy, and other alternatives to our current food supply chain!

ICYMI: Money Tales: Money’s Everywhere with Dr. Felecia Froe

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.

Foundations #10: You’re Not Bad with Money

You’re not bad with money. In this Foundations episode, Dr. Felecia Froe speaks directly to every woman carrying the belief that she’s somehow failed at money, whether she’s avoided her finances for years, watched a high income never translate into confidence, or is still making sense of a setback that shook her trust in herself. 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.

ICYMI: How to Invest When You’re Scared (Because Everyone Is) with Dr. Felecia Froe

Felecia Froe became a urologic surgeon after succeeding in medical school and urology residency. Somehow she knew this wasn’t the last thing she would ever do. 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.
