What if the biggest risk to your family’s wealth isn’t the money, but the silence around it? The conversations that never happen, the assumptions that go unspoken, the lessons we hope our kids just “pick up” along the way.

In this episode, Joline Godfrey sits down with estate planning attorney and author Mark Shiller to explore a question many families quietly carry: how do you support your children financially without unintentionally holding them back? Together, they dig into what it really means to prepare the next generation, not just financially, but as thoughtful, capable humans.

Joline and Mark discuss:

• Why families often come in for technical help, but what they really care about is how money impacts the people they love
• The growing shift over the past 5 to 10 years, with more families opening up conversations that once felt off-limits
• Why parents and grandparents cannot outsource these conversations, and need to take an active role in guiding their children
• A powerful metaphor of the apple tree, reframing legacy as something that grows and continues, not just something that is consumed
• And more
