About
Hi! We’re Angela and Regina!
Welcome!
Women’s Personal Finance is a place for all women. No matter who you are, what you believe, who you love, what you love, or where you’re from, we are so glad that you are here.
This is a place for all women, regardless of where you are at in your money journey, whether you are brand new to thinking about your finances and don’t know where to start or if you’re been retired for years, have it all figured out, and just want to chat with other people working towards, meeting, beating, and sometimes slipping, on their financial goals.
How We Got Here
Women’s Personal Finance (WPF) began in January 2018 when Angela published “Meet the Women of the Financial Independence Movement,” a blog post that resonated deeply and was later featured in the New York Times and Forbes. That post sparked a movement, and shortly after, Angela founded the Women’s Personal Finance Facebook community, creating a supportive space for women to connect and talk about money and life.
Later that year, Regina joined the conversation, introducing the term PrepperFi through a guest post. Their friendship solidified as Regina navigated her son’s cancer diagnosis—a powerful reminder that even during hardships, community can be a source of strength.
Since then, our Facebook group has grown to over 83,000 members, becoming one of the most inclusive, supportive places on the internet for women and marginalized genders to engage in financial conversations.
We didn’t stop there. In addition to our free Facebook space, we’ve expanded into two premium communities: Woven and WPF Insiders. Both are designed to deepen engagement and offer even more personalized support. WPF Insiders, hosted on Discord, provides dynamic peer accountability, live discussions, and events. Woven, hosted on Mighty Networks, offers deeper dives into financial topics with facilitated discussions and challenges, acting as an accountability community.
Our work has been recognized widely. Women’s Personal Finance won the 2021 Plutus Award for “Best Finance Content for Women.” Both Angela and Regina have independently won the Plutus Awards Community Builder Award, and Regina was recently highlighted in The Cut. We were also honored as one of Money’s 50 Changemakers, celebrating individuals shaping the future of finance in the U.S.
Women’s Personal Finance is a place where you belong—whether you’re just starting your financial journey or navigating new phases. We’re so glad you’re here.
About the Founders
Women’s Personal Finance comes to you from Angela of Tread Lightly Retire Early and the founder of the Women’s Personal Finance Facebook Community and Regina of That Frugal Pharmacist. We have been internet besties since we got to know each other back in 2018, and we’ve both been writing and engaging on the internet for more than a decade. Our sons are a year apart and (mostly) virtual buddies as well, which makes it all that much more special when we all get to spend time together in real life.
We share passions around intentional living, environmental awareness, sustainability, as well as the natural world, gardening, cooking, and so on. Not to mention, our love of all things personal finance and wanting to help support others by living our lives boldly, unapologetically, and sharing our money journeys, struggles and all.

Above all, Angela values kindness and empathy, which she believes are crucial to making the world a better place.
Regina Moore, PharmD
Here’s my “bio”:
Dr. Regina Moore is a consultant, educator, artist, and community-building expert. As the co-founder of the award-winning Women’s Personal Finance (WPF) and founder of That Frugal Pharmacist, Regina’s life changed dramatically when her son was diagnosed with cancer, merging her financial independence journey with a deeper exploration into the power of community. Achieving her baseline financial independence number in 2021, Regina (mostly) retired from pharmacy practice to focus more on what she loves: building communities. A non-profit co-founder, she now serves as an advisor to The Psychedelic Pharmacists Association. When she’s not involved in financial literacy or psychedelic advocacy, you can find Regina mushroom foraging with her son or enjoying the everyday chaos on her hobby farm along the Oregon Coast. Follow her adventures and musings on living “a life of enough” on Twitter.
Want some more details?
I live on the Oregon Coast on our “hobby farm” with my husband, son, and our animals. We are debt-free and live in a paid-off house. My son was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer, neuroblastoma, at age 2. I am happy to report that he is currently stable, but managing his condition and the fully upturned life that cancer created is a big part of my story.
As of 2021 I’ve mostly retired from my traditional pharmacy career. It took me a full year of being in denial, but, I now admit I also FIREd in 2021 when I left my profession to focus on things that I’m passionate about. I’ve got some money trauma so it’s hard to “feel” it but based on all the traditional personal finance rules, I can cover my basic expenses if I were willing to tap my investments.
I am so happy to say that I am now in a phase of life where I am open to opportunities, while no longer having to hold space for a job that stresses me out and feels like a never-ending ass-kicking machine. I’m hoping I can do more for my profession by stepping away than I could when I was caught in a system that was making me feel like a victim. I’m not a victim folks… and you don’t have to be either.
On top of my main work here at Women’s Personal Finance I have a personal blog I haven’t updated in a long time, a pharmacists networking site (and blog), and am working to advance access to psychedelic medicine and therapy. I dabble in a variety of arts and crafts and have fun running my Etsy shop, foraging for mushrooms in the fall (and advancing my mycology hobby). Advocacy work is important to me, as a psychedelics advocate, pharmacist, and parent of a child with cancer. In other words, I’m all over the place, and I love it!
