Book coming in January 2027. Preorder today: Prosperous Matriarch.
The Prosperous Matriarch Legacy-Building Toolkit combines Prosperous Matriarch: An Authentic Generational Wealth Guide with a thoughtfully designed companion card deck to help families preserve not only their wealth, but also the values, relationships, purpose, and wisdom that give that wealth meaning.
In the book, Madeline Hoge redefines generational wealth as far more than financial capital. While assets may be inherited, purpose must be intentionally cultivated, modeled, and sustained. Without strong relationships, shared values, thoughtful succession, and prepared leaders, even substantial fortunes can diminish within a few generations.
Drawing on her personal experience in a multigenerational family business that did not survive beyond the fourth generation, as well as her professional work in family governance, succession planning, and family enterprise consulting, Madeline offers a fresh model of stewardship. She explores how the loss of a matriarch can also mean the loss of family cohesion, communication, and clarity—and why invisible leadership must eventually be replaced with intentional structures, shared governance, education, and purposeful preparation.
The accompanying card deck moves these ideas from the page into practice. Each card serves as both a prompt and a pathway, guiding families through meaningful conversations, reflective exercises, and practical activities designed to clarify values, strengthen alignment, improve communication, and inspire intentional action across generations.
Together, the book and card deck position the matriarch as a legacy leader whose wisdom, influence, and responsibilities can be taught, shared, and sustained. The toolkit helps families move beyond inheritance toward stewardship, equipping current and future generations with the mindset, discipline, relationships, and purpose needed to carry both wealth and meaning forward.
