About Investment Divas
The Investment Divas was formed with a private group of ladies with investment capital looking to help each other grow our long- and short-term wealth. The Investment Divas aim to empower, inspire, and cultivate financial greatness.
As we grow and evolve, what is one decision you wish you didn’t make and why? The one decision I wish I didn’t make was learning about the investment process through trial and error. Learning more about strategic investments opportunities up front would have given us more gains in the learning process.

HOTWORX ALPHARETTA AT HALCYON
HOTWORX is a virtually instructed exercise program created for users to experience the many benefits of infrared heat absorption, while completing a 30-minute Isometric workout or 15-minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session. As the infrared heat penetrates your body causing you to sweat, the isometric postures further accelerate detoxification by physically removing the toxins from your organs through muscle contraction. Our patented sauna combines heat, infrared, and exercise– what we like to call “3D Training”– and makes HOTWORX a workout unlike any other fitness program available!
