episode 10: building bridges with our family of origin

in honor of today being mother’s day, in this episode…you’ll hear from both

Susanna Penfield

(our beloved guest from episode 5, linked below if you haven’t listened to it yet) and her mom, Annie Penfield!

together, Annie and Susanna share more about:

• what it was like when Susanna approached Annie about her desires to redistribute her entire $1M inheritance

• the messiness that comes with moving towards each other instead of away from each other

• the narratives of wealth they each had been born into and internalized as well as the narratives they’re now trying to live into

• the need to move beyond individual action and into collective action, and how they are practicing that together
