In 70% of family businesses, the family loses control of assets by the second generation. 70%!!!!
Do you know the primary downfall?

Trust.

You know what contributes to lack of trust? Trauma...Generational Trauma.
That's why I'm spending the next year writing on this topic.

Relationships matter most when it comes to finances.

Whether that be with your family members, advisors or your direct relationship WITH money, you need to nurture HOW you relate.

How do you nurture relationships?

📚 Educate yourself about healthy relationships.

🛑 Stop looking to your peers as examples especially if they are in unhealthy relationships.

🛑 Stop using "well everyone around me acts like this" as an excuse for your own unhealthy patterns.

🛑 Stop people pleasing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 Learn about your own emotional experiences.

This will require you to learn how to label emotions and become aware of body sensations.

Try somatic experiences such as hypnosis, somatic experiencing, Feldenkrais, yoga, dance, Heart Math to name a few.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to trust....

If your family relationships are broken, take the time and energy to repair them.

Plan a family coaching retreat.
Engage a coach or therapist.

If your family member is not willing to go to therapy, coaching or mediation, go yourself.

There is so much that can be improved when one person seeks support.

Which relationships need a tune up in your life today?

New look and a New page!!
After 10 years of focusing on Lyme disease and other chronic illnesses in my professional practice, I have officially made the pivot into focusing primarily on busy entrepreneurs & executives who are also busy building loving families. This includes -

- A mix of therapy and business coaching to overcome barriers to success
- Improving couples communication issues
- Building strong teams at work and at home
- Untangling issues related to money and responsibilities
- Caregiver stress

This year will mark 22 years of clinical therapy practice and I am very excited about this new focus.

Over the next few months I will have some awesome resource to share with entrepreneurs and family business owners as well as couples.

I look forward to sharing these with you all!

Thanks again to Tristan Nishae Clark for the lovely images.
