#24  What questions have you not asked family members about their lives or the lives of other family members?  Sometimes we learn about our family history through time spent with them, but most often we need to take initiative and make the time to ask the questions that at some point we will wish we asked.  In this episode Heather talks about:

• One story from her grandmother that shows the power of small, but monumental, moments
• Why we don’t ask family members questions
• How to overcome the blocks that get in our way from learning what we really want to know
• What to do when our opportunity to ask a certain person questions is gone

About Heather:

Heather Murphy is a resilience coach, genealogist and host of the Stories in Our Roots podcast.  Heather teaches people how to strengthen their resilience as they research and connect with the stories of their ancestors.  As a teenager one of Heather’s role models was a 3rd-great-grandmother who exemplified service and perseverance.  Heather’s love of family and history led to a bachelor’s degree in Family History - Genealogy.  

After twenty years teaching people how to research their family history or completing research on their behalf, Heather saw in the lives of her clients the strength and understanding that comes from researching their own family history, and the missed opportunities when they paid her to research instead.  Her signature program, Resilience in Your Roots, teaches people how to use the process of researching their family trees to strengthen their resilience and improve how they adapt to the challenges of life.

Heather lives in Washington State (the dry side) with her husband, son, three ducks and a rabbit.
