It's our AUGUST workshop! Register for Ethical Investing!

Join Amanda Holden, friend of TFD and investing expert for a very important and timely discussion!

If you’ve ever looked at your 401(k) or savings account and thought, “Wait… am I unintentionally funding fossil fuels, weapons, or human rights abuses?” — you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong.

The truth is, most mainstream investment accounts (including employer-sponsored plans) are automatically funneled into companies profiting from war, environmental collapse, and systemic exploitation. Big banks and large brokerages aren’t shy about where your money goes — they just count on you not reading the fine print.

It’s easy to feel like the only two options are:

• Get rich and try not to think too hard about it, or

• Opt out completely and hope vibes can carry you to retirement.

But there’s a third option: learn how to invest more ethically — without needing a finance degree or a moral purity test.

In this workshop, Amanda will cover:

• What “ethical investing” actually means (and what it doesn’t)

• How to evaluate funds, platforms, and portfolios

• The role of banks, fintech, and public policy in your money choices

• Easy, concrete swaps to start aligning your investments with your values

• How to build a strategy that considers your financial well-being and the bigger picture

This is an info-packed session for people who:

• Want to feel informed, not helpless

• Are skeptical of greenwashing and good vibes investing

• Believe taking care of yourself financially is part of doing the work — not separate from it

Come with your questions. Leave with a plan.

Ethical investing isn’t about perfection. It’s about agency, transparency, and doing the best you can within a broken system — while still building the life you want.

Reminders:

• This workshop will take place on August 20th at 6:30pm et.

• This will be a 60 minute discussion along with a live 30 minute Q&A!

• Replay + accompany workshop materials will be available afterwards.

• This event is exclusive for full-access members of The Society at TFD. By joining The Society at TFD at the $4.99 or $9.99 tier, you will get automatic access to all upcoming members-only workshops included with your membership!

Hi, I'm Amanda! You may know me as @dumpster.doggy on the internet.

My business is called Invested Development, and my aim is to make investing education accessible and fun. If you have felt left out of important conversations about money and investing, my work is for you!

After graduating with degrees in economics and communications, I went to work in investment management. I did this for about 6 and a half years. My primary role was called "investment counselor;" I was the person in direct communication with our high-net-worth clients, relaying portfolio strategy and answering all investing-related questions, on the spot, every day. To do this, I earned my Series 65 license, which is legally required for anyone acting as an investment adviser and providing recommendations. 

But helping rich men get richer? Yeah, that was never going to be my life's calling. And now, with my business, Invested Development, I've taught over 20,000 students—mostly women—how to invest. 

Get access to this members-only event by signing up for The Society at TFD at the $4.99 or $9.99 level.
