CONNECTION
COMMUNITY
CO-CREATION
Financial independence isn't just about the money.
It's about having the freedom to decide what comes next—and having people around you who understand why that matters. Women of FI creates welcoming spaces to talk honestly about money, work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the lives we're building.
Meet the Women of FI.
Three women bringing joy, community, and connection to the financial independence journey.
Zuzka Nejati
Master of Community
Leads ChooseFI Philly Group.
Kim Hunter-Borst
Master of Connections
Co-leads WE Wealth Collective online FI women's community.
We're building a different kind of FI community.
Money is part of your life. Not the whole thing. We want to build a community where members can bring their whole selves. That means talking about the more fundamental issues we face.
We're not afraid to talk about the mental load we sometimes take on, such as caregiving as well as work expectations, finding identity and purpose after FI, and building a life that feels like yours.
Connection
Meet people who understand the FI journey and want relationships that continue beyond the event.
Local
FIRE friends around the corner—not just usernames on the internet.
Emotional safety
Honest conversations without posturing, pressure, or the feeling that you should already know everything.
Self-expression
Financial freedom can mean different things to different people. We're interested in yours.
Emotional intelligence
We notice the little things, anticipate needs, and create an environment where people can participate comfortably.
We've thought of it
From thoughtful details to clear communication, we've thought of everything so you don't have to.
Come spend some time with us.
We host two annual events designed to make it easy to learn, participate, relax, and actually get to know people.
These are not conferences or businessy network events. We host thoughtfully designed gatherings where you can participate at your own pace.
