“Questions You’ll Wish You Asked Your Parents” — Backstory featured on Spark Me podcast!
I had such a meaningful conversation on the Spark Me Podcast led by its wonderful and inquisitive founders, architect and entrepreneur Michele Dempsey and community leader and financial advisor Liz Graham.
The episode is called “The Questions You’ll Wish You Asked Your Parents,” and in it I talk about what led me to start Backstory, why I believe the stories we never think to save are the most important, and the question I never got to ask my own mother.
We also get into some fascinating research: family stories aren’t just sentimental: they actually build resilience and improve health. And I share some simple, practical ways to start capturing your family’s stories right now, even without any special tools.
I hope you listen, and maybe share with someone who’s been meaning to sit down with a parent or grandparent.
