In this warm and insightful episode, Anne explores how letting people evolve – instead of relating to them through old stories and patterns – can transform both our family relationships and our family businesses. Inspired by a moving interview between Glennon Doyle and Megan Falley (in the most recent episode of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast), she shares practical tools for staying present, navigating holiday triggers, and approaching family gatherings with curiosity instead of dread.

Perfect for women in family business, family business owners, and entrepreneurial leaders seeking healthier boundaries, deeper connection, and more ease this season.

What happens when old family dynamics quietly shape your company culture? In this episode, Anne Bauer explores how unconscious family patterns can create toxic work environments – and how greater awareness can transform them into thriving, engaged workplaces.

Perfect for family business owners, next-gen leaders, and anyone navigating leadership, legacy, and culture in a family enterprise.

When I stepped into leadership of my sixth-generation family business, I quickly realized I was carrying more than just a title. I was also mothering the next generation – and trying to do both roles exactly as I’d seen them modeled before. It was overwhelming, unsustainable, and deeply clarifying.

In this mini-episode, I share the personal story behind the Legacy Women’s Retreat: why traditional executive programming isn’t enough for women in family business, how community creates breakthroughs, and what becomes possible when we reinvent leadership on our own terms.

✨ This retreat isn’t just about managing roles – it’s about reclaiming clarity, courage, and connection to lead in a way that is both powerful and sustainable.

If this resonates, I’d love for you to join us this October at Unity Village in Kansas City. Learn more here: www.thelegacyevolution.com/retreat
