Fractional Chief Learning Officer For Family Office & Enterprise II Author, Therapist, Consultant - Resolve Conflict / Heal Trauma / Build Wealth

The women and families I serve are...Stepping into ownership or leadership while carrying family expectations you didn’t choose and stories about money, power, or worth that no longer fit.Navigating unspoken dynamics with siblings, parents, or advisors that make decision-making feel emotionally loaded rather than strategic.Sensing that wealth could be a force for healing and leadership, yet noticing how easily it becomes a source of silence, pressure, or division.At the same time, the world is shifting rapidly.Women are inheriting unprecedented levels of wealth.AI is accelerating decision-making and distancing us from intuition and relationship.And many women are asking:How do I lead with wisdom in my family of wealth?This is where I come in.I work with women in the wealth space who are ready to move from inherited narratives to intentional leadership, rewriting the stories they were born into and stepping into stewardship with clarity, confidence, and emotional authority.Through my work and my upcoming book,From Echo to Athena: The Evolution of Women in the Great Wealth Transfer,I guide women through journeys of growth and transformation helping them integrate wisdom, power, and care as they assume their place within family enterprises and legacies.My work blends trauma-informed family systems, ancestral healing, and strategic advisory support to help women become stabilizing, visionary leaders inside complex family systems.✨ From Echo to Athena JourneysCurated experiences for women inheriting wealth who want to move from silence, role confusion, or emotional burden into authorship, leadership, and legacy stewardship.✨ Family Alignment &amp; Communication IntensivesFacilitated experiences that help families reduce conflict, clarify fairness, and restore trust—without sacrificing performance or dignity.✨ Stewardship &amp; Learning PathwaysIn partnership with Tamarind Learning, I help women and next-generation leaders build emotional fluency, financial literacy, and leadership capacity for long-term stewardship.If you’re ready to step into your role as a leader, I’d love to connect.Schedule a conversation here:https://www.lifestyleforlegacy.com/contact

It’s been a while since I started my role at Ancestral Healing Center as a Co-Founder, but I wanted to share this update with everyone.

The Great Wealth Transfer is often framed as a financial event.

It’s actually one of the largest feminist movements of our time. 

For centuries women have had to armor-up and enter into a man's world.

I and my Co-Authors would like to welcome you to the big shift. 

The shift into vulnerability as our superpower. 

Strength in the delicate. 

Would you like to learn how some of the top female voices are restoring harmony to the masculine and feminine?

Stay tuned for more...

Picture it, a divine wedding, every god was invited except Eris, the goddess of discord.

Enraged, she threw a golden apple into the feast, inscribed:
“For the fairest.”

Three goddesses came forward wanting to claim the apple:
Hera offered power.
Athena offered wisdom.
Aphrodite offered love.

Paris chose only one and the Trojan War followed.

When we fail to elevate all aspects of ourselves, chaos ensues. 

When wealth is stewarded without balance, families fracture and legacies unravel.

But when power, wisdom, and love are held together, wealth becomes sustaining rather than destructive. 

From Echo to Athena: The Evolution of Women in the Great Wealth Transfer aims to re-imagine the narratives that have shaped masculine/feminine power dynamics for centuries.

And now is the time to get this right.  

The apple is already in our hands.

Are you ready for the largest feminine movement in our lifetime? 

What we choose now will shape generations. 

Join a powerhouse collective of female voices as we journey together to create an healthy, wealthy future for the next generation.

Hi I'm Ruschelle and I'm highlighting the leading voices in this feminist wave we call The Great Wealth Transfer.

I rarely share posts. In my opinion this is the most important issue we are facing in the world today. 

This is why I Co-founded The Ancestral Healing Center. This is why I wrote Inherited Trauma and Family Wealth. This is why I'm collaborating with some of the most influential women in the family/health/wealth space. 

Your attachments define who you are. They keep us sane.  They allow us an opportunity to be seen. 

I'd love to know your thoughts on this post.

You’ve read the headlines about AI psychosis — chatbots leading users to lose their grip on reality, upending lives and tearing families apart.

Dr. Zak Stein has been studying these cases long before they entered the public consciousness. He doesn’t see just a few isolated cases that can be fixed with tweaks to the models. He sees the emergence of what he calls the attachment economy: AI systems that are designed to exploit our most fundamental psychological vulnerabilities on an unprecedented scale.

We waited a decade to respond to the harms of the attention economy. We can’t make the same mistake again.

Taking Back the Pen: Why Our Money Narrative Needs to Be Rewritten

Does your family have a pattern of secret keeping? 

Patterns of behavior are the surface level thing we notice first when we start to look at trauma (including inherited/ancestral trauma). 

The way people learn to respond to trauma as children can morph into unhelpful patterns as adults.

As Bitcoin adoption accelerates, even the most conservative corners of the industry are taking notice. What was once seen as too volatile or too experimental is now appearing in conversations across wirehouses, public pensions, and major asset managers. When the most cautious institutions begin to open the door, even slowly, it signals a shift advisors can’t afford to overlook.

As advisors, we don’t have to become digital asset experts overnight. But staying informed is part of the responsibility we carry as fiduciaries, especially as client interest grows and institutional signals strengthen.

Witnessing my #risingqueen own her clarity, confidence, and leadership is both grounding and inspiring.

The bar keeps rising, and so does my opportunity to learn from her and her #GenZ peers.

Masterclasses in motion. Real Wealth in real time.

Last November, I had the opportunity to co-curate and moderate a Yale Alumni Art Innovators Speaker Panel as the Program Coordinator for Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale (Tsai CITY)’s StudioX: Creativity & Innovation Program.

The panel brought together Yale alumni who shared how they transformed their creative practices into innovative, interdisciplinary careers, offering students practical insight into forging their own paths across the arts. Featured speakers Asher Young, a New York–based artist, designer, and producer, and Zina Ellis, a Brooklyn–based actor, singer, writer, and producer, offered rich, candid perspectives. It was a privilege to facilitate such a robust conversation.

This panel marked the culmination of a semester of impactful, dynamic programming with Eunjoo J. and Claire Chang.

I have a complex relationship with AI. 

I utilize it and gain benefits from it; it sharpens my thinking and expands possibilities in my work. 

However, the massive AI data centers built by Microsoft in my rural Virginia hometown draw heavily on local power and water resources, raising concerns about the long-term health, environmental, and economic impacts that we do not fully understand.

In response to community pushback, Microsoft has pledged to:
- Cover full power costs
- Reject local tax breaks
- Invest in water replenishment and workforce training

While these commitments sound responsible on paper, the reality feels more complicated. AI doesn’t just exist in the cloud; it operates in real places, consuming real resources and affecting real people. Communities are justified in asking tougher questions about who bears the costs as innovation scales.

I hold both truths:
- AI is a powerful tool for creativity and access.
- AI is an infrastructure force with consequences we cannot ignore.

I am curious how others navigate this tension, particularly those living near data centers, working in tech, or using AI daily. How do you reconcile the promise of AI with its footprint? 

For more insights, you can read about Microsoft's response to the community concerns here: https://lnkd.in/edkAQb5u

Generational struggle lingers in what we avoid, tolerate, or mishandle.

Generational wealth takes root in what we model, maintain, and master.
