  • "You convinced me to prioritize saving as much money as possible in my early 20s! Because I saved a lot in my first 7 years working, I'm now able to live in expensive NYC at 30 without sacrificing my retirement goals."

    Elizabeth R.

  • "Your simple charts helped me realize how much more I wish I had saved earlier and how much to save now."

    Jacqueline G.

  • "You helped me set up robo investing accounts for my two adult nieces (22 & 24), and you guided me on how to set up a backdoor Roth IRA. You also shares a budget template which my boyfriend and I both now use. All of us are now saving more than ever for our retirement!"

  • "I invested my first $100 into the stock market and it was so exciting! I feel like I can finally invest on my own, I ditched my advisors high fees, and it's all thanks to you!"

    Julianne M.

  • "I invested for the first time with your step by step guidance and I nearly teared up. It's something I've wanted to have the confidence to do on my own and now I can finally do it! I am set up on auto investing and it was so easy. Thank you, thank you!"

It was refreshing. I appreciate you!!"

    Adriana B.

  • "None of the online courses AND calculators I've used have remotely close to the amount of info as yours has. Your course taught me where to pivot, add diversification, and adjust my investments for my future. AND it was entertaining!"

You’ve tried Googling how to start investing — but instead of the millionaire, early-retirement life the internet promised…

You’re stuck with 12 open tabs, five half-read blogs, and zero dollars actually invested

Everywhere you turn, there’s conflicting advice.

One video says ETFs.

Another says real estate. 

A third swears you’re doomed unless you start with $10,000…

And meanwhile, you're stuck wondering:

  • What do I invest in?

  • How much is enough?

  • Should I just hire a financial advisor?

  • Do I even have time to figure this out?

  • What if I mess it up and lose everything?

If you’ve ever felt like investing is something Future You will figure out because Today You just can’t — you’re not alone

But what if it didn’t have to be so complicated?

Here’s a secret the finance bros have been gate-keeping:

❌ You don’t need a finance degree, a six-figure salary, or hours a day to invest.

❌ You don’t need to pay a financial advisor to click buttons for you (they’re just picking the same index funds you can buy yourself — minus the 1% fee)

❌ And you definitely don’t need another podcast episode telling you to “start now” without showing you how.

📣 If you can use a laptop, you are 100% capable of managing your own investments and building real wealth.

And in just a moment, I’m going to show you exactly which buttons to click so investing feels as simple as ordering Pad Thai from your couch 💅

👋 Hey, I’m Leandra ― the founder of Female in Finance and your no-jargon, no-judgment investing guide 

I didn’t grow up talking about money…

 But I did study finance, work in corporate finance for 7 years, and poured every spare dollar into the stock market until I cracked the code on how to make my money grow, even on a modest income.

✨I’ve built (and re-built) a $30k emergency fund.

✨Paid off thousands in medical bills.

✨And built a portfolio that’s projected to hit $8.7 million by retirement — without chasing trends or outsourcing to some guy in a suit.

And here’s what I want you to know:

💬 You don’t need more free advice — you need a step-by-step strategy that actually gets you investing (not just learning about it)

💬 You don’t need to know everything — just what to do next (and in what order).

💬 You don’t need to do it perfectly — you just need someone to guide you out of  “I’ll figure it out someday” mode.

 💬 And you’re not too behind, too busy, or too broke to get started — not with this plan.

That’s where I come in. 

I’m here to walk you through the process and show you exactly how investing works ― clearly, simply, and step by step.

No assuming you already know what a brokerage account is or how to pick a fund.

Just real guidance, in plain English, that shows you how to go from:

“Where the eff do I start??” to “I actually did it!”

Let’s skip the spreadsheets and make your money multiply — one confident move at a time.

Your beginner-friendly, step-by-step roadmap to making smart investments 

I’m taking everything I’ve learned over a decade of investing and giving you the exact plan I wish I had ― one that turns “Where do I even start” into “I finally know what I’m doing with my money!”


By the end, you won’t just understand investing — you’ll HAVE invested.

✅ You’ll have your first account open

✅ Your first dollars working for you in the market

✅ Confidence that your money is invested in the stock market and growing on autopilot 

Make your first confident investment in only 10 days with:

Now available at 50% for the next 72 hours

This course makes investing in the stock market a piece of cake ― no baking (or complicated spreadsheets) required

✅ Bite-sized lessons you can finish in 10 minutes a day — even if you’re short on time, energy, or attention

✅ Gets you investing as fast as possible ― not just watching videos and hoping it clicks 

✅ Beginner-friendly enough (and with crystal-clear visuals) to follow ― no Googling, second-guessing, or jargon overload 

✅ Clear milestones so you always know what to do next — and what to click 

Which means… In as little as 10 days, you could:

💰 Make your first confident investment — and avoid the costly mistakes most beginners make

💰 Know exactly which funds to choose (and why), based on your personal goals

💰 Save hundreds (or thousands) in advisor fees by managing your own portfolio

💰 Start growing your money in the background — even if you only have $10/month to spare

💰 Finally feel like someone who’s in control of their money — not stuck in “someday I’ll figure it out” mode

And just a little further down the track…

💰 Your savings and emergency fund start multiplying — because you’re earning while you sleep

💰 You can stop living paycheck to paycheck — and start building real breathing room

💰 You’ll know how to grow wealth for your future and fund the life you want now

💰 Whether it’s a vacation, a house deposit, or an early retirement — you’ll finally have a plan to get there

And ultimately?

✨Achieve financial and time-freedom ✨

The kind that lets you call the shots, live life on your terms, and never again feel like your (lack of) money is making the rules.

This is the right investment for you if:

👶You’re starting from scratch (or feel like you are)

You don’t have to know the difference between a Roth IRA and a REIT — this course was made to guide you from “what the heck do I invest in?” to “I just made my first confident investment.” Even if you’ve only got $10/month to spare.

🧠 You’ve dabbled, but don’t feel confident
 Maybe you’ve opened a brokerage account or bought a fund or two, but you’re still guessing your way through. This course gives you structure, strategy, and step-by-step clarity — so you finally know what you’re doing (and why).

🙋‍♀️ You want to manage your own money — without spreadsheets or financial bros
 Whether you want to ditch your advisor or never hire one in the first place, DTF: Investing shows you how to manage your own portfolio with confidence — and without paying a 1% fee for someone else to do what you could.

This course isn’t for you if…

💼 You’re already investing consistently with a clear strategy
 If you’ve already automated your contributions, chosen long-term funds based on your goals, and feel 100% confident in your setup — you may not need this course. But if you still feel like you’re winging it (or want a smarter, simpler system), I’ve got you.

Wondering whether you really need a course for this?

Maybe you’ve watched YouTube videos.

Maybe you’ve already got a 401(k) or picked a few funds.

Maybe you’re asking yourself: Is this worth the money? Can’t I figure this out on my own?

But here’s the difference:

📌 Free content gives you information.

 This course gives you a start-to-finish strategy — with crystal-clear steps, real-time visual walkthroughs, and zero guesswork.

📌 You don’t need more scattered tips that may or may not apply to your financial situation.

You need a plan. One that shows you exactly what to do next — and how to know you’re doing it right.

📌 Already started investing?

Perfect. This course will help you double-check your foundation, avoid rookie mistakes, and finally feel confident that your money is set up to grow (even while you sleep).

Because this isn’t about knowing everything.

It’s about having the clarity and confidence to finally invest your money in the stock market  — and trust it’s growing for you. 

And that’s exactly what this course was built to give you. 

Ready to confidently invest in the stock market, build your wealth, and retire early?

🔒 You unlocked this discounted price by joining the masterclass.

It’s only available for the next 72 hours — after that, the full $997 applies.

Still wondering whether to dive in?

If you want to grow your wealth — but the fear of “messing it up” or “losing it all” is holding you back…

You’re not alone.

And you’re not wrong for feeling that way.

But you also don’t have to stay stuck. 

Because the best way to stop second-guessing?

Actually understanding what your money is doing — and having a clear, confident plan behind every move you make.

This course doesn’t just hand you a glossary and wish you luck.

It walks you through every step of the process like I’m right there with you, showing you:

✅ Which funds to pick based on your goals
✅ How to set up your account like a pro
✅ What to do when the market dips so you don’t spiral

No jargon. No overwhelm. No fluff.

Just the practical how-to that gets your money moving now — whether you’re starting with $10 or $10,000.

And when the stock market inevitably dips (because it will)?

You won’t panic.

You won’t pull out your money in a frenzy.

You’ll know exactly what to do next — calmly, confidently, like the investing baddie you’re becoming.

As Warren Buffett says:

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”
(Don’t worry — I’ll show you exactly what that looks like in practice.)

Because this isn’t just about “learning to invest.”

It’s about finally doing it — with a real plan that fits your life, your budget, and your goals.

Let’s stop letting confusion, fear, or “someday” thinking hold you back.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You absolutely can…but here’s the tea on financial advisors:

    Most people think financial advisors are actively managing their funds and trading all the time. But often, they’re just buying and holding stocks ― something you can do yourself with a few clicks of a button. 

    So, why pay a premium for someone else to do what you can easily learn and manage using your own laptop and Wi-Fi?

    Instead of paying someone else ― my goal is to arm you with the knowledge to make smarter, more informed decisions about your finances so you can keep your money in your pocket and invest it for greater returns. 

  • Yes, even if you have a bunch of high-interest debt (like credit card debt) that’s swallowing you whole ― then this is the right course for you. Your best step is to pay off that debt first but learning to invest along the way will prep you for once your debt is paid off.

    And if you have a mortgage, car loan, or student loans that you’d like to pay off ― then investing is the next best step for you and this course will help you make the most out of your investments!

  • Less time than it takes to binge-watch Bridgerton (for the 10th time). 

    You can finish the entire course in about 10 minutes a day, over 10 days — or binge it in one weekend.

    But more importantly?

    This course is designed to help you finish and implement. You won’t just learn what investing is. You’ll start doing it.

  • You won’t be left to fend for yourself. While I can’t give 1:1 investment advice, you’ll get access to the DTF Facebook Lounge — where you can:

    ✅ Ask questions
    ✅ Share wins
    ✅ Talk it out with other beginners
    ✅ And get cheered on every step of the way

    Community = underrated investing edge.

  • Absolutely! Most of the content is relevant wherever you are. About 80% of the material covers universal investing principles that apply globally. The main differences are the unique account types each country has for retirement and investments. 

    For instance,  in the US, we talk about 401(k)s and IRAs, while in Canada, it's RRSPs and TFSAs. 

    But no matter what your accounts are called, the foundational strategies and insights you'll gain from this course will help you invest with confidence so you’re on track for early retirement!
