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! 

Let me help you give your money a mission to make the world a better place and improve your bottom line. Schedule a call to learn more.

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. And while those things matter, they don’t always bring the peace we expect. Sometimes, what looks secure from the outside is actually only stable as long as nothing changes.
