What happens when money becomes the language for what was never said out loud?

We explore true stories of unequal inheritances, the emotional fallout of financial “fairness,” and the hidden costs of keeping things quiet in the name of love, tradition, or fear. Through the lens of clients like Claire and Serena, we witness how even well-intentioned estate plans can leave behind wounds that no trust document can heal.

From birth order biases to the burdens placed on the “responsible one,” we dive deep into the psychological undercurrents of wealth transfers—especially when silence has been the family norm. You'll hear how emotional narratives are passed down alongside bank accounts and how planning without conversation can turn legacy into quiet loneliness.

With poetic reflection and practical insight, this episode also reveals how the modern financial landscape, with blended families, multiple marriages, and generational value gaps, demands more than spreadsheets. It calls for honesty, clarity, and the courage to speak the stories behind the numbers.

Because behind every dollar…
is a decision, a desire, and a deeper truth waiting to be spoken.
