The 30-Day Experience

Pricing starts at $20,000

Women want to invest. Many still don't know where to start.


They’re delaying decisions, avoiding investing, and carrying financial stress into work every single day.


Maximized Money bridges the gap between learning and doing with beginner-friendly education, guided implementation and real-world action.

THE PROBLEM

Financial stress doesn't stay at home.

It shows up at every event, every 1:1, every moment with family — as less focus, more distraction, and decisions delayed by quiet financial overwhelm.

Financial wellness isn't just for wealthy people.
It's an investment in the people powering your organization.

Thinking about money during the workday

Second-guessing financial decisions

Delaying actions that move them forward

Avoiding investing — for years or decades

TOO MUCH INFORMATION

Investing can feel overwhelming when accounts, terminology and conflicting advice all compete for attention.

FEAR OF GETTING IT WRONG

Many beginners stay in research mode because they don't feel confident making an investment decision.

THE IMPLEMENTATION GAP

Learning about investing is one thing. Opening an account, researching investments and getting started is another.

From Research Mode to Confident Investor — in 30 Days

A step-by-step, action-driven program designed to move you from overwhelmed to confidently investing your first $100.

3

Part 4: Invest Your First $100™

Most programs stop at education

This one ends in action.

We'll spend 30 days building the knowledge, confidence and skills to actually begin.

Women are guided step-by-step through their first investment in real time — so they leave with confidence, clarity, and momentum, not a PDF or course they'll never open.

SPEAKER REEL

Joshlyn did such a great job keeping the audience engaged. Financial workshops can sometimes feel like lectures, but she created activities that people wanted to participate in. Everyone had great things to say about her delivery and enthusiasm. We look forward to partnering with her again!

This was refreshing! One thing that really stuck with me: investing is NOT a set-it-and-forget-it game. Even when someone else is managing your money, you need to stay engaged and informed. That's YOUR money working for YOU. Also, invest early and often.
