What is a Living Memories session?“A Living Memories Session is a carefully crafted, creatively structured and highly thought-provoking interview with individuals who are looking for an opportunity to share their life stories (thus far!), while exploring, clarifying and transmitting their values, in a deeply reflective, joyful and meaningful way.”With a Living Memories session, you can be provided the opportunity to share who you are, why you are and what you are. You can take the time and space to slow down and reflect on your life, values, your accomplishments and relationships and areas of desired growth, past, present and future. Clarifying your values in all areas of life, can serve as a compass that guides you toward more meaningful and fulfilling actions. These values can be communicated more broadly to loved ones in the present, helping shine light into possible areas of how you can strengthen your relationships in the here and now.What you receive: After each session, we will produce an edited “audio album” of the interview, with each track being titled, based on the content of the particular section of the interview. For example: A full audio interview will be produced. Transcription options available upon request.Each session can vary in length, generally between 30-90 minutes in length and can be done in person, on Zoom or over the phone. **Due to COVID-19, all sessions will currently be done either by phone or Zoom.

I have conversations with people who are thinking about change, and are open to talking about it.There are many podcasts out there, where people on share a book launch, or to share more about their life’s work and expertise. This podcast is different.I hope to make space where courageous professionals in diverse fields can share the work and other meaningful things they are up to (for the first 15-30 ish minutes) but also make time to share about an area of their life (however small) that they want to improve, in the hopes that this change talk can impact the change talk of others.Inspired by Motivational Interviewing
