Creating Your Wealth Map (Ep. 92)

By |

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.

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.
