Most families focus on protecting assets, but the real breakdown happens in the relationship systems when individuals haven’t done their inner work or built healthy communication patterns. Without safe spaces in family council meetings or a family's culture for honesty, financial infidelity can replace trust—creating silence, secrecy, and fractured relationship dynamics. For many, this begins in childhood, when prior generations never learned how to process emotions, conflict, or uncertainty. When role models and caretakers fail to evolve beyond their authority role, values aren’t truly transferred—only control, confusion, and expectations.

In this podcast episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Jonathan Steele, CFA to reveals why money doesn’t move through generations neutrally—it needs relationship systems to not break down, for individuals to work on themselves in personal development and for there to be a design for your legacy. Tune in as this conversation shows why planning your holistic legacy must include both financial strategy and emotional architecture to create true connection as well as continuity.
