As 2026 begins, Anne Bauer offers a permission-giving reflection for family business owners who aren’t feeling the “new year” momentum just yet. This short episode explores seasonal energy, the lunar and astrological new year, winter as a time for rest and shedding, and how to listen more deeply to what you and your business actually need right now—without forcing growth before it’s ready.

In this warm and insightful episode, Anne explores how letting people evolve – instead of relating to them through old stories and patterns – can transform both our family relationships and our family businesses. Inspired by a moving interview between Glennon Doyle and Megan Falley (in the most recent episode of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast), she shares practical tools for staying present, navigating holiday triggers, and approaching family gatherings with curiosity instead of dread.

Perfect for women in family business, family business owners, and entrepreneurial leaders seeking healthier boundaries, deeper connection, and more ease this season.
