"All You'll Have Is a Bunch of Receipts": Dr. Jessica Chandler on Daring to Walk Away From Security

Wealth B-Hers

What's one thing someone said you couldn't do, even if that someone was you, that you did anyway? That question kicks off Women Who Dare, a new Wealth B-Hers series. First up is Dr. Jessica Chandler, a gynecologist who chose gynecology-only from the start, a path almost no one around her was taking. She takes us from a small Mississippi town to a full ride at Vanderbilt, through a brutal first semester and a professor who refused to write her a letter, to the day she walked away from a secure job so she wouldn't end up with "a bunch of receipts" instead of time with her family.   Along...

The Vanish Test: What My Personal Trainer Taught Me About Your Money with Dr. Felecia Froe show art The Vanish Test: What My Personal Trainer Taught Me About Your Money with Dr. Felecia Froe

Wealth B-Hers

Dr. Felecia Froe opens this solo episode with a confession that has nothing to do with money: she has a personal trainer, and she has absolutely no idea what she's doing at the gym. She just shows up, does what he says, and leaves sweaty. That worked fine until Tony (my trainer) announces he's going on vacation, and Felecia realizes her entire fitness "plan" lives in his head, not hers. That small panic cracks open a much bigger question: how many women are doing the exact same thing with their money?  In this episode, Felecia connects her gym epiphany to a striking UBS statistic about...

Wealth B-Hers

Erica Neal didn't set out to become a wealth strategist. She was on the pre-med track until an unplanned teenage pregnancy knocked her off that path and into a finance and economics degree she almost didn't choose. In this ICYMI episode, Erica joins Dr. Felecia to trace her journey from watching her mom fall into credit card debt to co-founding Infinity Investment Strategies and writing the bestselling Mind of Gold. She opens up about the "earthquake moment" that made her question everything she'd been taught about traditional financial planning: a client who asked a question she couldn't...

Foundations #12: How Wealth B-Hers Talks about Money Differently  show art Foundations #12: How Wealth B-Hers Talks about Money Differently

Wealth B-Hers

Most of us don't avoid money conversations because we don't care; we avoid them because the rooms available to us don't feel safe. In this final installment of the Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe steps away from strategy and numbers to unpack something more fundamental: the culture underneath every Wealth B-Hers conversation. She names the pressure many women feel walking into financial conversations, the pressure to already have the answers, to sound confident, to never ask the "basic" question, and shows how that pressure shuts down learning and breeds shame instead of wealth. In its...

The Client a $1.4 Billion Advisor Won't Take with Jonathan Steele show art The Client a $1.4 Billion Advisor Won't Take with Jonathan Steele

Wealth B-Hers

What if the way you think about money today traces back to something that happened when you were twelve or thirteen? On this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Jonathan Steele, founder and chief investment officer of One Wealth Advisors, a firm managing $1.4 billion for roughly 400 families. Jonathan traces his money story back to eighth grade, watching his mom pay off a department store credit card the second they got home, and then walks through his own winding path from a restaurant kitchen to cold calling at Bear Stearns to building an independent firm with his...

ICYMI: Creating Social Impact Through Real Estate Investing with Felecia Froe show art ICYMI: Creating Social Impact Through Real Estate Investing with Felecia Froe

Wealth B-Hers

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn't the last thing she'd ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn't realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate...

Foundations #11: The Cost of Waiting show art Foundations #11: The Cost of Waiting

Wealth B-Hers

There's a kind of waiting that doesn't feel like waiting. You know exactly what you need to do. You've meant to do it for longer than you'd like to admit. You keep finding a reason why right now isn't quite the right time, and you tell yourself that's responsible, that's thoughtful, that's just good timing. In episode 11 of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe is done letting that story stand. She breaks down exactly what waiting costs, the compound growth that quietly disappears, the confidence that erodes one avoided month at a time, the low hum of 2am anxiety that never...

Wealth B-Hers

In this ICYMI conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Sandi Bragar and Cammie Doder on the Money Tales podcast to trace the money narrative that shaped her from childhood all the way to founding Money With Mission. She opens up about watching her mother stay in a domestic violence relationship for financial reasons, the credit card mistakes she made in medical school, and how she used the CASHFLOW 101 game to teach her own daughters about money years before most parents even start the conversation. Felecia also walks through the deal that changed everything: a patient named Jamie who...

Wealth B-Hers

You're not bad with money. In this Foundations episode, Dr. Felecia Froe speaks directly to every woman carrying the belief that she's somehow failed at money, whether she's avoided her finances for years, watched a high income never translate into confidence, or is still making sense of a setback that shook her trust in herself. Felecia reframes the whole story: what looks like carelessness is actually overwhelm, what looks like incapability is actually a lack of preparation, and what looks like personal failure is actually a systemic failure.  This episode's an invitation to put the...

Wealth B-Hers

Felecia Froe became a urologic surgeon after succeeding in medical school and urology residency. Somehow she knew this wasn’t the last thing she would ever do. Her mind as rewired about the idea of money after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki. In this ICYMI conversation with Mary Katherine Johnson of Planet Wealth, Felecia traces her path buying 18 properties in two years, losing nearly everything in the 2008 crash, and rebuilding into a social impact investor who's now running sober living homes and fighting food deserts. She gets honest about the fear that doesn't fully go away,...

What's one thing someone said you couldn't do, even if that someone was you, that you did anyway? That question kicks off Women Who Dare, a new Wealth B-Hers series. First up is Dr. Jessica Chandler, a gynecologist who chose gynecology-only from the start, a path almost no one around her was taking. She takes us from a small Mississippi town to a full ride at Vanderbilt, through a brutal first semester and a professor who refused to write her a letter, to the day she walked away from a secure job so she wouldn't end up with "a bunch of receipts" instead of time with her family.

 

Along the way, she and Dr. Felecia Froe talk about the family legacy behind her "don't quit" spirit, why a cash runway makes bold moves possible, and why a path that never looks the way you pictured can still work out. If you've ever talked yourself out of a big move, press play. There are no straight lines here, only small dares that keep building.
