Welcome to The Family Wealth Edge — where wealth meets real life.

We’re Kristen and Vincent — second-generation family members who’ve lived the ups and downs of inheriting, growing, and navigating wealth. We created this channel for people who are financially affluent but seeking tools, stories, and conversations about what really matters: family, identity, legacy, wellbeing, and purpose.

If you’re a wealth creator, inheritor, or part of a complex family system, and you’re looking for a place to talk about the stuff that doesn’t show up on a balance sheet — you’ve found your people.

• Real talk about the human side of wealth
• How to talk to kids about money
• Planning for the future with intention
• Finding meaning when it feels like you "should" have it all
• Navigating emotions, expectations, and relationships
