What do you do when your family business is running you into the ground? How do you balance your relationships as family members and business partners? And when is it time to take a break? There are many big life questions in this letter from a listener who signs her name “Boss & Daughter”. Dr. Momma B provides lots of good resources for this precarious balancing act, and we hear advice and stories from another wise woman with a family business: singer Ruth Pointer of The Pointer Sisters. I’m sooooo excited (for you to hear these stories!)
