About The Book

Inherited Trauma is the sneaky, subtle, destructive power that impacts our daily lives.

Family leaders are often aware there are important things that need to be discussed with their adult children around succession planning and inheritance. Often conversations go unspoken, sometimes with the best intentions, other times for fear of the outcomes.

The reality is, positive family outcomes only come from thoughtful conversations.

This is a book to help you and your family start to talk about hard things.

Ruschelle Khanna introduces families to the Five Liabilites of Trauma and how they impact individuals, families & communities.

Family stories can be complex; some parts tragedy, other parts joy. These narratives shape relationships, including the ones families have with money.

Inherited Trauma & Family Wealth was written to make space for exploration and to provide the freedom to rewrite limiting family narratives—making room for better collective decision-making.

The book then provides Ruschelle’s clinical framework, for Creating an ECHO Legacy(tm) which helps families move from chaos to compassion.

Through personal experience, compelling stories, and current research on epigenetics and psychology, Ruschelle shows readers how to cultavate compassionate decision-making around issues of money and power within families.
