- Alex E., captured his mother's 76-year journey
“I wasn't hesitant. I really did not want to do it. I didn't think my life was worth talking about. But through this whole experience, it allowed me to really change my mind. What surprised me is that I never gave it much thought to some of the things that we touched upon. It was just me riding through life. Going through this process made me really appreciate things. That's powerful.”
- Lorraine W., Storyteller

Storytellers' concerns
What if my parent says their life isn't interesting? I hear this from almost everyone! But your family wants to know: How did you meet Grandma? What was your first job? What was the hardest decision you made? Those "ordinary" stories are gold.
What if my parent doesn't want to do this? Many parents are initially hesitant. We start with a brief intro call so I can speak with them directly. Once they realize it's just comfortable conversation, most open up.
What if my parent forgets details? That's normal. We fact-check with family after interviews. This captures your loved one's voice and perspective—their memories, even imperfect ones, are what matter.
