The Family Love Letter: Turning Financial Planning into an Act of Love with Jennifer Lee

How do you prepare for life’s biggest transitions —the moments when emotions collide with financial realities? In this empowering conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Jennifer Lee, AIF®, AWMA®, founder of Modern Wealth and author of Squeeze the Juice: Live With Purpose, Then Leave a Legacy. With over 26 years of experience helping clients through divorce, loss, and retirement, Jennifer brings heart and strategy to the financial planning process. She shares why money is simply a tool, how to build trusted relationships with advisors before a crisis strikes, and why every family should write a “Love Letter,” a simple yet powerful way to communicate values and ensure peace of mind for loved ones.

 

This episode serves as a reminder that true wealth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about clarity, connection, and living a life that feels as good as it looks.

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.
