There’s something quietly powerful about the work Emily Bouchard does. It lives in the spaces most people avoid—family dynamics, trust, and the often complicated conversations around wealth—but she approaches it with a steadiness that immediately puts you at ease. I felt that from her.
With more than two decades of experience, Emily has dedicated her career to supporting family offices and multigenerational families as they navigate not just money, but relationships, legacy, and meaning. Her work is about helping families build genuine trust and coherence across generations.
She’s also the co-author of The Little Book of Trust and Money: An Essential Primer for Families (coming November 2026), a project that reflects her experience and belief that conversations about wealth can—and should—be more human, more honest, and more connected. Her recent TEDx talk, ” How to talk about inheritance (without talking about money)” has over 188k views already.
When she’s not consulting or writing, Emily hosts the Wealth Coherence podcast, where she explores these ideas in real, thoughtful conversations. And perhaps most uniquely, she brings her work into an experiential space through equine-assisted retreats, hosted on her peaceful ten-acre property in Placerville, California. There, surrounded by nature and horses, transformation can unfold in a way that feels grounded, intuitive, and lasting.
Photographing Emily felt like stepping into that same energy—calm, intentional, and deeply present. Her brand isn’t just what she does; it’s how she makes people feel: safe, seen, and ready to do meaningful work.
Thank you, Emily. It was a pleasure getting to know you while working with you. And, of course, a big shout out to Marvy, her doggie, and Chulito, her horse, who kept us all grounded and connected in the late afternoon light.
