When creating VitalFinancials™, I drew on a life-long experience with money that has been unconventional ‑ to say the least. Raised by well-known and respected financial planner, Richard Wagner, JD, CFP®, I grew up immersed in my father’s deep passion for money and its role in our modern world. Impressed upon me are money’s potential for great good and the magnitude of our responsibility to use it so. To this background, I’ve brought my own strong intuition, talent for identifying patterns and deep passion for people.

I'm a Finologist, philosopher, money-wellness coach, owner/founder of VitalFinancials, and Dick (Richard) Wagner's daughter.

 I was raised to believe that money can and should be used for great good. As a social-philosopher and the daughter of Dick Wagner (the father of Finology), I've been studying people and money most of my life - and after deep thought, I agree. Money can and should be used for great good.

I'm here with the What is Finology? Project because I believe that our human, finological relationships with money are the key. Developing Finology as a field will open up our minds to our personal relationships with money and deepen our individual and collective understandings.

In 7th grade, I realized and promised myself something. What I wanted to do, and promised myself I would do, is make the world a better place. It sounds simple (& slightly cheesy), and it was. But it was also profound. I tucked this decision into my heart and began working backward on how to manifest. Slowly but inexorably, I turned towards people and money. There are many different ways to do great good. Mine is money. Finology is in my bones.

The creation of Finology opens the door for the work I've already been doing. I've been coaching for over 10 years and have developed two complete finological theories concerning cash flow: Money Breath and The Money Energy Cycle.

Understanding what money is and is not in our lives and what it means to us personally will cultivate health across our financial lives and bring health to every point where money touches our lives. In turn, bringing about great good!

When I'm not absorbed in pondering people and money, I'm raising my 3 beautiful boys and supporting my husband and his delicious food truck. I hold self-care, creatively and play as daily values, and I'm passionate about saving the world. Thank you for being here and please tell everyone! We need to get into people's heads and hearts to change the way we let the money forces run in this world. If we let them, and we should, they will do great good.
