LifeStory Memoir

🎙 I’m on a podcast!
Big thanks to Rachel Tamilio for inviting me on her Off the Deep End podcast to talk about Narra, the app I created to make it easy for people to capture and share their life stories—without having to write them.

I’ve done a number of podcasts over the years, but this one quickly became a favorite. Rachel is a writer and storyteller too, so she gets it. Our conversation is deeply literary—we talk about writing, storytelling, and the writing life, as well as the profound benefits of sharing life stories: both for the people who lived them, and for the loved ones who receive them.

Rachel is also a warm, generous soul and a thoughtful life coach who’s helped so many. I recommend her, and I truly appreciate her.

🎧 Take a listen if you're interested in storytelling, legacy, or just a great conversation between two people who care about words, memory, and meaning.
