Money isn’t just numbers. It’s emotion, identity, and the stories we carry without realizing it.
In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with financial coach and author Carrie Friedberg to unpack what’s really behind financial stress, even for high-achieving women who “should” have it figured out. Carrie shares her personal journey from overwhelming debt and shame to becoming a financial coach who helps others build clarity, confidence, and peace with money.
This conversation goes beyond budgeting. It explores the emotional weight of money, the difference between financial therapy and coaching, and why so many women avoid looking at their numbers even when they’re earning well. If you’ve ever felt anxious, behind, or unsure about your financial situation, this episode will help you understand why and show you a path forward.
