The Wealth Rebellion is a virtual series for women who have lived the full complexity of money: its power, its fragility, its silence, and its ability to both wound and liberate. The host, Juliana Uto, and I discuss the exploration of the emotional and philanthropic side of wealth.
This is not a summit about earning more or “doing it right.” It’s a series of real conversations about how women make decisions around assets, ownership, risk, philanthropy, and independence once income is no longer the central question - and when lived experience must be integrated, not bypassed.
Your money story reflects exactly the perspective this room is designed to hold: growing up inside volatility and resilience, witnessing structural inequity firsthand, navigating wealth from both the professional and client sides of the table, and ultimately integrating rational strategy with emotional truth. Your work - and your philosophy of The Power of And - names something many women feel but rarely see articulated in capital conversations.
The format is a single ~40-minute recorded grounded, thoughtful dialogue about money, agency, and stewardship among peers who understand that wealth is never purely technical. You can listen/watch here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQq3VeqMKTEQpspdAaIKLkStx_t7G2xo/view?usp=sharing
Inside the Wealth Catalyst community last week, we hosted a closed-door conversation on exactly this tension. The session was peer-led by Emily Scott, founder of Emily Scott AND, and one of the most thoughtful voices I know on the emotional side of money. Emily has spent more than a decade working at the intersection of psychology and wealth, helping high-capacity women understand not just their portfolios, but their wiring. She is both clinically rigorous and deeply human, which is a rare combination in financial conversations.
She opened with a line that landed hard for me: “Right now is a real test of what I’ve been talking about for 11 years.”
When markets were generous, it was easier to sound steady. When liquidity tightens, exits stall, public markets reprice, and political noise compounds economic uncertainty, the emotional side of money stops being theoretical. It becomes physiological.
Emily shares deeply about her experience with a tumultuous childhood filled with mixed messages about money to overcoming patriarchal challenges on Wall Street. Despite the struggles and setbacks, she acknowledges that all of those experiences allowed her to be the woman she is today.
Through it all, she found that philanthropy and volunteerism were always what truly spoke to her soul — regardless of financial gain. Now, Emily helps guide people through the emotional stories we create around money to help them understand their own finances and money stories more deeply.
This episode also honors Emily's remarkable leadership and the subtle yet profound impacts she makes by sharing her wealth with others. Don't miss out on this heartfelt conversation packed with lessons on self-advocacy, understanding money stories, and creating a legacy driven by purpose and generosity.
