For the woman who is smart, capable, and has Googled “how to start investing” at least five times and still hasn’t done anything about it…I see you and I was there too years ago.
It’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because every time you try to learn, you end up with 14 browser tabs, conflicting advice, and more confusion than when you started. It’s because the financial industry is complicated on purpose.
If that’s you, this workshop is yours.
I became an Accredited Financial Counselor®️ and started creating content under Wealth with Tess years ago because I genuinely believe more money in the hands of women changes things in the best way.
And for the last few years I ran a series of free live investing workshops to help women learn the basics of building wealth. I stopped running it live because my focus has shifted and life has taken me in a new direction, so I’m sharing the recording here instead. No pitch. No waiting for the next live date. Just one of my favorite workshops, available whenever you’re ready.
On that note, I’m building out a free library of investing tutorials right here on Substack because I want you to have free access to information that will help you actually build wealth.
Here’s what’s inside:
Why not investing is actually the riskier move. We talk about inflation, compound interest, and what the data shows about the cost of waiting — including the difference between saving $750/month versus investing it over 30 years. The gap will make your jaw drop.
The S&P 500, index funds, and why simple beats complicated. What these actually are in plain English, why low-fee index funds outperform most actively managed funds over time, and why you don’t need to pick a single stock to build real wealth.
The fee conversation nobody is having with you. I share my own story of nearly paying $431,000 in fees to a financial advisor who wasn’t even investing well on my behalf. We break down how to find out what you’re actually paying — and what low-fee investing looks like instead.
The actual steps to get started. Where to open an account, what account types to consider, how to automate it, and what a simple portfolio can look like. No jargon spiral, no 14 browser tabs.
For a long time this workshop was the entry point into my beginner investing program. That program no longer exists, but what does exist, is something smaller and more personal — a private community of women who are actively working on their money together and want support and accountability.
It’s called The Wealth Room, and it costs less than a random Target run — because you shouldn’t have to spend a fortune to get guidance and support with your money. If that sounds interesting to you, just reply to this email and tell me a little about where you’re at with your money and why you want in. I’ll read every single response.
But honestly — just watch the workshop first. That’s the whole point of sharing it.
Cheering you on always,
Tess
