    Creating Your Wealth Map (Ep. 92)

    On this episode of Money Is Emotional, Christine Luken speaks with Juliana Uto, investor, startup advisor, and founder of Wealth Bravery, about developing the skills and judgment needed to become a better steward of wealth. Christine and Juliana discuss: Financial knowledge isn’t the same as investor judgment. How women can develop investment confidence? Risk tolerance is learned through experience. Understanding the role your investments play in your overall wealth strategy. The emotional transformation that happens when you take ownership of your financial future. Why your net worth doesn’t necessarily determine your financial freedom.   Connect with Christine Luken: Join my free community, Spiritual Women Building Wealth: https://bit.ly/SWBWfbgroup Book a Money Power Hour with Christine: https://bit.ly/MoneyPowerHr Join the waitlist for the next round of The Merchant Priestess Path: https://7-pillars-llc.kit.com/mpwaitlist Subscribe to the Merchant Priestess Substack to get early access to my next book: https://christineluken.substack.com/   Connect with Juliana Uto: Website:  www.wealthbravery.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/juliana_uto LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/julianauto Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/juliana.uto   About Juliana Uto: For nearly two decades, Juliana was a senior leader at a global oil and gas major — evaluating assets, making strategic investment decisions at a corporate level, and operating in environments where capital decisions carried real consequence. All while quietly building her own multi-seven-figure portfolio from the inside out. When her daughter was born, she knew she wanted to be present — not traveling internationally for someone else’s balance sheet. She left at forty. Not because she had to — because she’d built the architecture to make it possible. The optionality to stay or go, to work or not, wasn’t something she stumbled into at sixty-five. It was something she designed for, intentionally, long before she needed it. Then she built Wealth Bravery to give other high-earning women the same framework: the capital allocator’s lens, the private markets access, and the clarity that changes how you see everything you’re building.

    I’m a Trust Fund Lady (Ep. 91)

    On this episode of the Money Is Emotional podcast, host Christine Luken challenges common stereotypes about trust fund and “nepo” babies while exploring the realities of inheritance, family businesses and generational wealth. Christine argues that criticizing people who inherit wealth while hoping to create wealth for your own family sends conflicting messages about your financial goals. Christine discusses: Why you need to rethink negative assumptions about inherited wealth? Being a “nepo baby” isn’t as easy as it looks. Family businesses require preparation, not entitlement. Why trust fund babies are relatively uncommon? Money and inheritance are deeply emotional.
