In this episode, we welcome Kristen Heaney, Founder & Coach of In Three Generations, LLC, a trusted coach to financially successful families, and an authentic voice in the wealth management space. Known for her unique perspective as an "unprepared inheritor in recovery," Kristen brings a deep understanding of family wealth challenges, bridging the gap between gratitude and burden while helping families navigate the complexities of wealth preservation and transition. Together, we explore what it takes to honour legacy while fostering individual expression, touching on unconscious behaviors, stewardship responsibilities, and what it means to redefine success across generations in wealth, family, and life.
Throughout our conversation, Kristen challenges the belief that everyone must follow the same path to success within wealthy families. She shares why lasting fulfillment requires breaking free from unwritten rules and self-imposed pressures, emphasizing the courage to move beyond patterns of expectation that keep families stuck in cycles of obligation rather than authentic connection.
Tune in to discover how intentional family governance, role clarity, and balanced frameworks can unlock your family's potential to honor collective purpose while preserving personal autonomy across generations.
