What happens when old family dynamics quietly shape your company culture? In this episode, Anne Bauer explores how unconscious family patterns can create toxic work environments – and how greater awareness can transform them into thriving, engaged workplaces.

Perfect for family business owners, next-gen leaders, and anyone navigating leadership, legacy, and culture in a family enterprise.

When I stepped into leadership of my sixth-generation family business, I quickly realized I was carrying more than just a title. I was also mothering the next generation – and trying to do both roles exactly as I’d seen them modeled before. It was overwhelming, unsustainable, and deeply clarifying.

In this mini-episode, I share the personal story behind the Legacy Women’s Retreat: why traditional executive programming isn’t enough for women in family business, how community creates breakthroughs, and what becomes possible when we reinvent leadership on our own terms.

✨ This retreat isn’t just about managing roles – it’s about reclaiming clarity, courage, and connection to lead in a way that is both powerful and sustainable.

If this resonates, I’d love for you to join us this October at Unity Village in Kansas City. Learn more here: www.thelegacyevolution.com/retreat

Family businesses often focus on succession planning – but what about the transitions the business itself needs to grow and evolve? In this episode of Legacy: Navigating Family Business with Anne Bauer, sixth-generation family business leader, leadership coach, and energy practitioner Anne Bauer explores how businesses hold their own energetic path – separate from the people who steward them.

Anne shares candidly from her own journey as CEO of Racket, weaving in stories of resilience through six generations, lessons from the pandemic, and the power of honoring creativity in leadership. She introduces Bruce Feiler’s framework of transition – the Long Goodbye, the Messy Middle, and the New Beginning – and shows how these phases apply not only to families, but to businesses themselves.

This episode is especially for:
✅ Family business leaders navigating change beyond succession.
✅ Women in business balancing legacy with new beginnings.
✅ Entrepreneurs seeking clarity, creativity, and courage.
✅ Anyone curious about how leadership coaching and energy work can create space for new opportunities.

Plus, Anne offers an invitation to the upcoming Legacy Women’s Retreat – a two-day experience combining community, coaching, and energy work to help women leaders step into clarity and transformation.
