Description

After a brief pause from the podcast, Anne returns with a deeply personal reflection on family, growth, leadership, and the transitions that shape us.

As her family's only child graduates from high school and prepares to leave for college, Anne shares the bittersweet experience of moving through a major life transition as a parent. Drawing on lessons from motherhood, personal growth, and years of working with multi-generational family businesses, she explores an important question:

What if the greatest opportunity in any transition isn't teaching the next generation – but allowing ourselves to grow alongside them?

In this heartfelt episode, Anne discusses:

• The evolving role of parents as children grow into adulthood
• How family transitions invite personal healing, growth, and self-awareness
• Lessons learned from supporting a child through challenges and change
• The connection between parenting and leadership development
• Common dynamics in family business succession and generational transitions
• Why the most successful family businesses embrace mutual growth – not just knowledge transfer
• The powerful shift from "You've got a lot to learn, kid" to "We've all got a lot to learn together"

Whether you're a parent, family business owner, next-generation leader, entrepreneur, or someone navigating a season of change, this episode offers a thoughtful invitation to approach transitions with greater curiosity, openness, and compassion.

Because sometimes the most transformative question isn't how we'll change the next generation – but how they'll change us.
