Money is rarely the hardest part of succession planning. The hardest part is what money changes inside a family: identity, belonging, power, and the old hurts nobody wants to name. Trudy Pelletier of the Family Stewardship Group talks about what really happens when families turn toward continuity, wealth transfer, and multi-generational planning and why the relationships at the center can get complicated fast.

We dig into practical family governance ideas like shared purpose, clear decision-making processes, and rebuilding trust without blowing up the planning already underway with advisors. Along the way, she shares the phrase that sticks out the most: “emotions make smart people stupid,” and what it takes to shift from reaction to responsible response.
