This interview provides insight into Frances' perspective and the reasoning behind her work.

The details

Frances grew up in a low-income household in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, where money was tight. She says she 'never' saw herself staying in her small hometown, but didn't have many opportunities to escape it. After earning degrees in counseling and theology, Frances began working as a life coach and eventually created a successful online business selling digital courses on topics like entrepreneurship, self-publishing, and manifesting wealth. She describes her approach as 'mental health-informed and mindset-informed' and says the principles behind her teachings are backed by both spirituality and neuroscience. Some of Frances' RHOBH co-stars have been critical of her business model, but she insists she is simply offering a 'fresh approach' to finances that resonates with many people.

  • Frances joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 15, which premiered in 2026.
  • In 2021, Frances released her book 'Rich As F*ck: More Money Than You Know What to Do With'.
