Are you stuck in “safe mode” when it comes to money?
In this episode of Her Financial Frequency, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood parts of investing: risk—and how “playing it safe” might be the riskiest move of all.

Barbie and Janae dive into how fear, past conditioning, and lack of financial education keep us stuck in old money stories—and how to start rewriting them. We’re talking about risk tolerance (in real-life terms), the emotional side of financial fear, and why even a savings account might not be as “safe” as you think.

💸 From skydiving metaphors to money mindset shifts, this episode is your gentle push out of your financial comfort zone—with a parachute, of course.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• What “risk tolerance” really means (and how to find yours)
• Why doing nothing with your money is still a risk
• How fear keeps women playing small with their finances
• The power of small investing steps and community support
• How to start shifting from “saver” to “investor”

🧠 Key Takeaways:

1. Risk doesn’t always mean danger—it can mean opportunity.
2. Education and community help ease fear and build confidence.
3. Doing nothing with your money (like leaving it in a low-yield account) could be costing you.
4. Start with 5%—you don’t have to leap, just begin.
5. Avoiding risk won’t make you safe. It just keeps you small.
