Why Avoiding Money Decisions is More Common than You Think

There is a quiet kind of money stress many of us carry: the bank statement we don’t open. The investment decision we delay. The financial advisor appointment we don’t make. It looks like procrastination, but often it is something deeper. Money decisions can be emotional, feel risky, unfamiliar, and very high-stakes.

In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe lets you know it’s not just you. Avoiding money decisions is more common than you think. Avoidance does not mean you are irresponsible or bad with money. It often means you do not feel clear, informed, or supported enough to move forward. When shame gets layered on top, the cycle gets harder to break. With clarity, community, and small steps, avoidance becomes awareness. Awareness is where change begins.

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.
