About this episode

Catherine and Rachel discuss the impact of FOMO on investment decisions and the importance of following a financial plan.

It seems like there's always a new "must-own" investment making headlines. But is it truly right for you, or are you just feeling the pressure to keep up? In this episode of Savvy Women, Catherine and Rachel explore how the fear of missing out (FOMO) can quietly influence investment decisions—and why following the crowd isn't always the path to long-term success. You'll discover: • Why investment hype can cloud good judgment. • How to recognize when emotions are driving your decisions. • The difference between following a trend and following a financial plan. • Why disciplined investors are willing to miss a few opportunities to pursue lasting wealth. The best investors aren't the ones chasing every headline—they're the ones making thoughtful decisions that align with their goals. Tune in to learn how to invest with confidence, avoid costly emotional mistakes, and make sure your money is working toward your future—not someone else's.
