Episode 62 – Encore: Are You Transferring Generational Wealth or Generational Trauma?

In this encore presentation of one of our most impactful episodes, Attorney Elsa W. Smith takes you on a powerful journey—one that challenges conventional notions of legacy and invites you to reimagine what it truly means to pass something on.

Through the lens of estate planning, Elsa shares how her work with families—especially women—has revealed a deeper truth: We don’t just transfer assets… we transfer stories, patterns, and sometimes pain. With wisdom and empathy, she explores how unexamined wealth transfers can unintentionally carry forward trauma, and how intentional planning can stop that cycle.

In this episode, Elsa guides listeners through:

• The difference between leaving behind wealth vs. leaving behind a wound
  

• Why true legacy requires emotional as well as financial planning
  

• Six practical, healing-centered strategies families can use to ensure they’re building futures grounded in purpose, resilience, and compassion
  

✨ Join Attorney Smith as she unpacks the power of estate planning as a tool for transformation—not just preservation. This isn’t just about documents; it’s about redefining wealth, rewriting narratives, and reclaiming your legacy.
