In this episode Mark + Bri talk with Ann Sheu, co-founder of Mpowered Journey, about building deep, intentional family connections. Ann shares the accidental origins of Mpowered Journey, born from her and her husband Sunny's realization that they were prioritizing work over personal and family well-being.

They delve into Mpowered Journey's unique approach, which emphasizes individual clarity before couples work, and explore why defining your "no matter what" values is foundational for a truly aligned family life.

This conversation highlights the transformative power of intentionality, the benefits of understanding your core individual values, and the pitfalls of "punting" crucial family time and dreams.
