Know you "should be" saving for retirement, but feel icked-out by investing in systems that contradict everything you believe in? 😵💫 Former investment manager turned values-aligned financial educator, Amanda Holden, is here to show you there's another way—and it doesn't require compromising your soul OR your future.
As founder of Invested Development and a former investment manager who got tired of making rich white men richer, Amanda is on a mission to make investing accessible for folks historically left out of these conversations.
She walks the walk (literally—she protests AND invests!) and proves that values-aligned investing isn't just possible—it's NECESSARY for co-creating a future we actually want to believe in.
