Courageous Conversations: Don't Let the House Divide You or Your Heirs

You've spent decades leading teams, closing deals, and building a career you're proud of. If you're a woman in your encore years, you may also be quietly helping aging parents sort out their estate while wondering what your own legacy plan looks like. It's the conversation most families avoid, and this episode of Executive Encore tackles it head-on.

In this episode, I speak with Rhett Fruitman, Co-Founder and CEO of Inherited Property Match, about courageous conversations on inherited property, family alignment, and estate planning. Rhett has spent years helping heirs, executors, and trustees navigate the emotional and financial challenges of inheriting a family home.

Rhett and I discuss why the legacy conversation needs to happen before a crisis hits, not after. We cover locating key documents, naming a clear decision-maker, and having parents share their wishes directly so assumptions don't become disputes. You'll also hear why keeping families aligned on inherited property matters, from putting agreements in writing to setting fair buyout terms, and what it takes to clear and sell a family home wisely while honouring the memories inside it.

This episode reflects the Executive Encore's October Courageous Conversations theme; it's a reminder that one honest conversation now can protect your family for years to come.

We were taught to be "strong" long before we were taught to be whole. For decades, many of us in the corporate world perfected the art of putting on a strong performance. We armoured up, leaned in, and powered through. But as we navigate our encore years, the definition of power is shifting. It is no longer about how much we can withstand, but about how deeply we can heal.

In this episode, we explore the territory that lies beyond the boardroom:

1. The Empowerment Trap: Why performing resilience is exhausting—and what to do instead.

2. The Stages of Awakening: Navigating the transition from a defined career path to an open horizon of purpose.

3. Healing as Strategy: How reclaiming your own story creates a foundation for true impact in your next chapter.

If you are a woman leader feeling the stir for something deeper than just another career move, this conversation is for you. It’s time to drop the armour and embrace the wholeness that has been waiting for you.

How has your definition of "strength" changed since leaving the corporate world?
