About
Hello, I'm Angie 🖖🏼
(she/her/hers)
Why Finance for the Fringe?
This modern financial world wasn't built for people like us.
It was designed by and for a narrow demographic, leaving unconventional souls to navigate systems that don't understand
our values, our challenges, or our dreams.
As a biracial femme with a philosophy degree who chose a professional path into finance, I've lived the tension between conventional wisdom and the deeper callings of the heart.
I created Financialosophy for the misfits, the meaning-seekers, and the ones who refuse to sacrifice their souls for so-called security.
Finance + Philosophy = Financialosophy
Practical Experience
With over a decade of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional expertise grounded in real-world experience, I make sure to focus on context and patterns, not just isolated financial decisions.
Philosophical Inquiry
I'll help you explore deeper, richer concepts of worth, value, resources, and power beyond conventional metrics to identify core motivations that influence your decision-making more than you may realize.
Iterative Integration
I'll weave together multiple wisdom traditions and frameworks based on your specific situation, personality, and profile to design an iterative methodology and rhythm of sustainable momentum towards your goals.
Practice Evolution
With a Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy from Colorado College, I began my career as a professional wordsmith at tech startups and established corporations, including working with big financial brands and institutions at global agencies.
I earned my CFP® Professional certification in 2014 as I recognized that many financial challenges stem not from lack of knowledge, but from disconnection from context and worth. This insight led me to develop an approach that honors both the practical and philosophical dimensions of our relationship with value.
Practice Philosophy
Go Beyond Gurus
I reject the notion of the all-knowing expert. I am here as a guide and fellow explorer, bringing together certified financial expertise with philosophical inquiry to illuminate the paths available to you. My role is to help restore context, validate your experience, and support your journey of reclamation.
The Power of Context
Understanding context changes everything. Whether examining mental narratives, media patterns, cultural baggage, or personal history, we'll work to reveal the larger patterns that shape your relationship with worth.
This broader perspective allows for more conscious, empowered choices about both material wealth and immaterial value.
Mycelial Adaptation
Rather than privileging one framework over another, let's draw from multiple traditions and tools based on what best serves your specific situation. From the material to the metaphorical, across media ecologies and various wisdom traditions, each offers unique insights for understanding and stewarding your complete portfolio of power.
Personal Foundation
As a multi-racial femme in a field traditionally dominated by older white men, I bring a naturally different perspective to this work alchemized through years of stage performance (mostly improv) and a lifelong love of study not only to fulfill CE requirements, but to slake my own curiosity:, media ecology, artificial intelligence, humane technology, plus more esoteric/occult dimensions of astrology, tarot, I Ching, human design, gene keys, neurolinguistic programming, hypnosis, somatic re-patterning, morphic fields, breath work, and more.
