What if your investments could grow your wealth and create the change you want to see in the world? In this episode of my Impact Mastery Series, I sit down with Janine Firpo—author of Activate Your Money and founder of Invest for Better—to share how we, as women, can align our portfolios with our values without sacrificing returns.

Here's what we uncovered:

• The $10 Ripple Effect: How I learned that every dollar in our bank accounts gets leveraged 9x—and why choosing where we bank is one of the most powerful moves we can make.
• Myth-Busting Truths: Janine showed me proof that her values-aligned investments actually outperformed her traditional portfolio—and how you can replicate this.
• Real Estate with Purpose: I was inspired by how Janine transformed her property into workforce housing—and how you can start with just one intentional investment.
• Legacy That Lives On: Janine's plan to keep her money creating impact even after she's gone through a purpose-driven donor-advised fund—this changed how I think about my own estate planning.
• Your First Step Matters: Whether it's switching banks or joining an investment circle (like Invest for Better's March groups), we break down how to begin today.

This episode is perfect for you if:

• You've ever thought, "I want my money to do good, but I don't know where to start."
• You're tired of your savings silently supporting industries that don't align with your values.
• You want to learn alongside other women who are building wealth with purpose.

Resources I Mentioned:

• Janine’s must-read book: Activate Your Money
• Invest for Better’s small-group circles (starting March)
• Impact Assets (for legacy-focused donor-advised funds)
