  • Tangible Investing: How Maria Marks Made Real Estate “Make Sense”
    Sep 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Today’s Guest: Maria Marks—former operating room nurse turned real estate investor and educator.


    Maria didn’t plan to be “a finance person.” But a family loss, a push to learn, and one bold step into mentorship changed everything. Today Maria is a General Partner with 1,500+ doors across 12 properties (translation: she helps run over 1,500 apartments… wild, right?). Her mission? Helping women build confidence, ask better questions, and make investing feel real—you can see it, touch it, understand it

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Moving through imposter syndrome (and why it never fully disappears)
    • The moment real estate “clicked”: seeing, touching, understanding an asset
    • Why community matters more than a perfect plan
    • What nursing taught Maria about trust, listening, and investor conversations
    • How to plant seeds (not lectures) when talking money with women & teens
    • A simple thought exercise to picture cash flow that isn’t from a job
    • “Is it too late to start?” (spoiler: no)

  • Money As a Tool: How to Rewrite Your Story and Build Wealth with Candius Stearns
    Sep 12 2025

    Send us a text

    Today Barbie and Janae sit down with Candius Stearns—lifelong entrepreneur, co-author of Real Women in Real Estate, and LP/GP across large-scale real estate deals—to talk about rewriting our money stories and building real wealth that compounds over time.

    In this episode:

    • Growing up on a Michigan dairy farm & the early money messages many women share
    • Why money is a tool (not “good” or “bad”)—and how to unlearn scarcity
    • The “know your numbers” non-negotiable: P&L, KPIs, ROI (don’t outsource your power)
    • Candius’ Four Pillars: mindset & goals • investments • relationships • health
    • Beginner steps to invest (even with small dollars and fractional options)
    • Cash flow vs. growth vs. tax strategies—choosing based on the job you want money to do
    • The #1 lesson: Don’t confuse income with wealth (assets vs. liabilities)
    • Habits that keep you in frequency: prayer, meditation, communication, coaching/mentors

    Listener Takeaways:

    • Set a clear vision for what the money is for (cash flow, growth, tax advantages).
    • Start now with small, consistent amounts—avoid “store and wait” traps.
    • Review an Assets vs. Liabilities list monthly to stay focused on wealth.
    • Consider guidance: mentors, coaches, and community conversations matter.

  • Money Memories, Mindset Shifts, and Lessons Learned – Q&A with Barbie & Janae
    Aug 29 2025

    Send us a text

    In this special Q&A episode of Her Financial Frequency, the hosts turn the tables! 🎤
    Barbie and Janae step into the hot seat while Krissi asks the questions our listeners (and friends) want to know.

    They share their earliest money memories, the beliefs they grew up with, and how those shaped the way they see financial freedom today. From family conversations (or lack of them) to first investments, flipping homes, 401Ks, and building wealth on their own terms—this conversation is all about mindset shifts, lessons learned, and the power of being an active participant in your financial journey.

    You’ll hear:
    💡 Janae’s first lessons in tithing, entrepreneurship, and making an impact.
    💡 Barbie’s journey from money silence at home to finding confidence in her 40s and beyond.
    💡 Why “people matter more than numbers” when choosing investments.
    💡 What financial freedom means to each of them right now.
    💡 The one piece of advice they’d give their younger selves (hint: confidence + conversation!).

    This episode is all about planting seeds, breaking old money patterns, and leaning into conversations that empower us as women.
