Penni Ippensen, Therapy

03/24/2026

This week on Working Moms Redefined, we're joined by Penni Sunde Ippensen, recently retired family therapist and mom of three, who has spent decades walking alongside families in the real-life moments that shape who our kids become.

We discuss what it truly means to raise leaders- not "perfect" kids or high achievers. We're raising thoughtful, emotionally grounded individuals who can think critically, communicate clearly and repair when things get hard.

Leadership is not built in big moments. It is formed in car rides, around the dinner table, in disagreements and in how we respond when we do not have all the answers.

This conversation is steadying and practical in the best way. Listen in on Thursday.

After 30 years in private practice I have decided to “shift gears” and pursue other interest, talents and gifts that God has given me. I have so enjoyed working with this community and feel honored that so many have welcomed my guidance into their lives through the years.
What started out as an opportunity to work part-time while raising a family morphed into an amazing, successful career. My side kick Sophie, will be shifting gears as well. She greeted and snuggled all who walked through the office doors.
As I did 30 years ago, I am excited to step forward to see what the future brings. Life is an amazing adventure!
