Learn to invest in what matters,
with women who get it.

Join Giselle & Toffler’s Circle, a small-group experience built around Investing for Impact—a trusted course where you’ll grow your confidence and align your money with your values.

This Circle is underway. Please get on our list for future sessions.

Why Circles Work

Investing can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to. Circles create a rare space where women feel safe talking about money, asking real questions, and growing in confidence together.

Each Circle is small, supportive, and led by a peer who’s walked this path before. You’ll learn, reflect, and take action in community—free from judgment, jargon, or pressure.

Because financial power doesn’t come from going it alone. It comes from connection, clarity, and the courage to start.

What To Expect From Your Circle

Giselle & Toffler’s Vision for This Circle

We’ll meet in person in San Francisco to build real connection and have honest conversations about money, impact, and values. With our mix of experience in impact investing and coaching, we want this circle to be practical and accessible for women at all stages of their money journey. Our hope is that everyone leaves with more clarity, confidence, and next steps toward values-aligning their money they feel good about — and that we all learn from each other along the way.

Investing Is Personal. And It’s Powerful.

When women take charge of their financial lives, everything shifts.

🌟 We gain confidence.

🌟 We build real wealth.

🌟 We use our money to shape a more just and joyful world.

This isn’t a finance seminar or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a guided, supportive journey inside a small group of women—your Circle—where you’ll connect, learn, and take meaningful action.

Because when we invest for impact, we don’t just grow our wealth, we help change what’s possible.

What Makes This Different

Investing for Impact makes values-aligned investing more accessible, personal, and doable. The course gives you the tools. The Circle brings it to life—like a book club, but for your financial future.

Over 2,000 women have gone through this experience—and it works. Here’s why:

  • Designed for women by women

  • Grounded in real conversations and emotional connection

  • Easy to follow with minimal prep (just 30-60 minutes of self-study per session)

  • Packed with practical tools you can use immediately

  • Backed by experts who have your back

  • Centered around action—so you’re never just learning, you’re moving forward

This Circle is underway. Please get on our list for future sessions.

Our money has power, so let’s use it.

Because when we invest, we do more than build personal wealth. Right now, most money is tied up in systems that put profits first, not people. But when we invest for impact, we can change that—shifting industries, influencing decisions, and building a future that works for us.

What happens when we invest with intention?

  • Women entrepreneurs get the capital they need to thrive

  • Companies that prioritize racial and gender equity grow stronger

  • Sustainable housing, clean energy, and other community-driven solutions reach the people that need them most

A Peek Inside the Course

In seven powerful sessions, you’ll reflect, learn, and take action in a space that feels real, supportive, and yours. It’s honest. It’s personal. And you won’t do it alone.

  • Meeting 1: Understanding Your Money Story

    You’ll kick things off by connecting with your Circle and exploring your relationship with money. Begin the courageous (and often liberating) process of rewriting the stories that have shaped your financial life. Expect connection, reflection, and a sense that you’re not alone. 

  • Meeting 2: Taking Inventory

    This session is a true eye-opener. You’ll map out where your money is currently invested—many for the first time—and begin to see how your dollars are working in the world. What you learn here often sparks a lasting shift in perspective. 

  • Meeting 3: Beyond the Dollar

    In this session, we’ll uncover how financial institutions use your deposits and help you evaluate whether their values align with your own. You’ll leave with practical steps to regain agency over where your money sleeps at night. 

  • Meeting 4: Exploring the Stock Market

    Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been investing for years, this session will likely surprise you. From mutual funds to ETFs, we break down how the market works—and how it can work for you. You’ll walk away with tools to evaluate your portfolio with confidence. 

  • Meeting 5: Values-Driven Public Equities

    You don’t have to choose between doing good and doing well. This session shows you how to align your public investments with your values without sacrificing returns. 

  • Meeting 6: Private Investing for Direct Impact

    Crowdfunding, private equity, angel investing—welcome to the side of the investment world most women never get to see. Whether you dive in or not, you’ll learn what’s out there and why it matters. 

  • Meeting 7: Financial Advisors & Next Steps

    Not all financial advisors are created equal—and not everyone needs one. You’ll get clear on what kind of support (if any) you want going forward. Then, you’ll complete your personalized workbook and commit to next steps that feel authentic, doable, and exciting. 

This Circle is underway. Please get on our list for future sessions.
