Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 82 | May 19, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we sat down with Laurel Exner, a veteran of the retail front lines who faced a tragedy no one should have to endure. After losing both her son and her daughter to fentanyl, Laurel proved that even when your "village" feels like a graveyard, the Invisible CEO can still build a sanctuary. Her story of financial grit and identity restoration reminded us that we are capable of building...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 81 | May 12, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we talked about the "Legal Shield" with Paula Yost—the decision to stop fighting blindly and start using the system to protect our grandchildren’s right to heal. We discussed the "Administrative Weight" of being a caregiver and why being a "troublemaker" is sometimes a requirement for the job. But what happens when that weight isn't just paperwork, but the heavy, suffocating blanket...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 80 | May 5, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we discussed the "Legal Shield" with Paula Yost—the tactical necessity of becoming a "troublemaker" to ensure our grandchildren get the services they deserve. We talked about moving from being a "doormat" to a "defender." But once the legal battles are won and the front door is closed, how do we handle the internal temperature of our homes? I recently sat down with Jake Knox, mentor...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 79 | April 28, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we talked about the "ROI of a Grandmother’s Love" with Kevin Lowe—the decision to stop measuring our success by what we "fix" and start valuing the quiet power of our presence. We realized that being the stationary point for our grandchildren is the ultimate leadership move. But what happens when that presence is challenged by a system that refuses to see our children for who they...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 78 | April 21, 2026 Dear Family, Welcome to this week's boardroom. As kinship caregivers, we often feel like we are operating in a permanent state of "survival mode," just trying to keep the wheels from falling off. But being the Invisible CEO means recognizing that even when the odds are stacked against us, we have the authority to pivot. This week, we are looking at what it means to lead when the "finish line" keeps moving...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 77 | April 14, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we sat down with Nancy Lasater to discuss the "Warrior Heart" and the courage it takes to fire the "Case of the Shoulds." We talked about how to trust our gut when the system tries to label our grandchildren before it truly understands them. But once we’ve cleared the mental space of those "shoulds," a new question arises: How do we actually manage the day-to-day behavior without...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 76 | April 7, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we discussed the "Better Behavior Blueprint" with Dr. Lindsay Emmerson—learning to translate behavioral research into a roadmap for cooperation. But as we move from managing behavior to building a future, we often hit a wall: The Labels. We find ourselves drowning in school evaluations, ADHD diagnoses, and the "Case of the Shoulds." What happens when the world tries to put our...

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 72 | March 10, 2026 Dear Family, Have you ever sat on your kitchen floor, literally sliding down the wall because the weight of the "Yes" you said feels like it’s crushing you? This week, I spoke with Bonnie Butler, a woman who has parented ten children and fostered seventeen.
