Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins, Bréne Brown,
About this episode

"I remember lining up for bread with my mom when we were little... There's just such a dichotomy between what happened outside our home and what happened inside."

In this powerful episode, Heather sits down with Juliana Uto, a wealth mentor who shares her remarkable journey from growing up in communist Romania to becoming a financial freedom expert helping women build generational wealth.

Listen in as Juliana and Heather dive into:
🩶Juliana’s emotional childhood story of scarcity in communist Romania and the pivotal moment that shaped her determination to achieve financial independence
🩶Why most women focus on earning more instead of making their money work for them (and the shocking truth about what it really takes to support a $100K/month lifestyle)
🩶The critical mindset shift from "hustling harder" to strategic investing that creates true freedom
🩶How the online business world's celebration of high revenue months can create a harmful cycle that keeps entrepreneurs trapped

Whether you're already earning six or seven figures in your business or just beginning your wealth-building journey, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on financial freedom that goes beyond the standard "earn more" advice.

Discover why Juliana believes all women should understand investing fundamentals, how to overcome the emotional barriers to building real wealth, and practical wisdom for creating a future where your money works harder than you do.

*********************************

Juliana is a startup-investor, Mechanical Engineer and former energy executive; she's a mentor with the Creative Destruction Lab and the founder of Wealth Bravery focused on empowering financial independence for women investors.
