Joining me today is Ella Chase! Ella is redefining the evolution of the family office and the role of female inheritor.

Ella is a Co-Founder at ‘Wellth Works’, a Coaching Firm designed to help individuals and groups of (mostly) women navigate the pressures and expectations that come with generational wealth. For many women of esteemed families, the feeling of needing to uphold a family lineage can get overwhelming and there aren’t a lot of spaces available where these conversations can be held openly and without judgment. 

Ella has dedicated her time at ‘Wellth Works’ to having these tough conversations and brings her extensive knowledge of sales, consulting, and business strategizing to the table when approaching each clients’ concerns. In this episode, we talk about the challenges that are present within complex family dynamics, why experiencing adversity is so necessary, and why we should look at success more holistically rather than solely financially.
