The Enough Equation: Why More Money Isn’t the Answer with Will R. Young

In this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with behavioral finance expert, financial advisor, and practicing stoic philosopher Will R. Young to explore a question most people never slow down long enough to ask: What is enough?

 

Drawing from Will’s book The Enough Equation, the conversation moves beyond spreadsheets and market noise into the psychology behind money decisions. Together, they unpack why fear, identity, and comparison quietly shape our financial behavior, and how clarity, values, and intentional planning create real freedom. This episode is an invitation to pause, define what truly matters, and build a financial life that supports peace rather than pressure.

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.

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.
