We needed a new setting to change our patterns and bring awareness of old patterns. We love the inviting and open space that was held for us at these retreats. We’ve gained further awareness about ourselves and each other and made lasting memories.”

OR...

“We’ve been so busy. It’s almost like we’re living two separate lives. Are we okay?”

“We’re okay, but I know we could be better. I miss feeling like we’re a kickass team. Knowing you have my back and taking on the world together.”

Immerse yourself in natural beauty and stunning scenery from a comfy seat on the porch or while out on a hike. You'll also see each other with renewed appreciation and excitement for the future.
And having fun while we do it! I miss that sense of playfulness we used to have.

“We could have it again. We just need to find the time to spend with each other. Let’s go on adventure together.”

OR...

“Why do we have the same argument over and over again?”

“I don’t know. I do sometimes feel like you don’t understand what I’m trying to say.

“It’s like we’re speaking two different languages. We’re talking…but not really hearing each other.”

I’d like to learn how to communicate in a better way and break that pattern.

“What a long day. I’m exhausted and still have work to do. Can we postpone our dinner date?”

“Sure, we can go next week. I just don’t want our relationship taking a backseat to the business.”

“Thanks for understanding. I do want to spend time together, but the business needs me right now.”

I feel like we’re in a good place. But imagine if we took a week away – just the two of us – that would be amazing.

Sunny and Ann Sheuff

Sunny and Ann Sheu

Ann and Sunny, visionary entrepreneurs and parents, have spent over five years developing and refining Mpowered Families—a program that equips business and family leaders with the tools, space, and structure they need to create an engaged, connected family without sacrificing the success of their business.

After running multiple businesses, Ann and Sunny quickly realized that business success didn’t automatically equal family success, and in order to have the family life they wanted, they needed to prioritize their family like they were their businesses.

Now, through Mpowered Families, Ann and Sunny equip other high-achieving couples with the tools, space, and structure they need to be intentional family leaders so that their families never become casualties of their business.

Ann Sheu is a seasoned entrepreneur on a mission to empower others to build better lives, businesses, and communities. Ann has witnessed first-hand the chaos a poorly-run business can inflict on the home. When it came time for her to strike out on her own, she pledged to live a more intentional life for the sake of her own family and business. For nearly 20 years, she’s done just that—building one successful venture after another and serving others as a consultant, advisor, board member, and coach.

Trained at Southern Methodist University in business (B.B.A., 2005), dispute resolution (M.A., 2008), and law (J.D., 2011), Ann brings a wealth of holistic insight to every organization she touches—others’ and her own. A certified EOS implementer, Ann combines market-tested principles with practical tools to drive peak performance. As a result of her expertise, Ann’s clients have reaped over $100 million in combined revenue growth.

For Ann, financial growth is only one metric for measuring a business or individual’s success. Far more important, in her eyes, are those personal metrics that make for a successful life: meaning, vision, values, mission. Ann’s coaching and consulting has always treated individuals as whole persons, because she knows that success in the workplace and in the home go hand-in-hand. You can’t have one without the other.

Sunny Sheu comes from a family of hard-working entrepreneurs. He received his best training from decades of helping to grow the family business from a small toy shop inside a bazaar to a multi-location furniture retail operation called BT Furnishings.

Sunny is constantly looking for opportunities to bring new insights and opportunities into his and others’ businesses. He is a member and former Dallas chapter president of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) as well as a member of the Dallas Mustang YPO chapter. He is a constant learner, attending various learning programs such as Stagen Leadership Academy, Strategic Coach, and EO’s Entrepreneurial Master’s program.

Sunny and Ann live in Dallas, TX with their 3 children. When he’s not working, Sunny enjoys mountain biking, racing cars, go karting, and snowboarding.
