How One Conversation Transformed a Father-Daughter Relationship—And What It Teaches Us About Legacy
How do you start a conversation that could change your relationship and your legacy?
Too often, end-of-life conversations are avoided until it’s too late. In this powerful episode, Sara Ecklein sits down with author Yvonne Caputo, whose journey to connect with her father through his WWII stories led to a deeper understanding of love, legacy, and letting go. Through her book Flying with Dad and her work with the 5 Wishes document, Yvonne shows how storytelling and compassionate listening can change everything.
In this episode, you will:
- Discover how the 5 Wishes document goes beyond legal directives to honor emotional, spiritual, and personal end-of-life preferences
- Learn how intentional listening can heal intergenerational wounds and strengthen family bonds
- Be inspired by a story that redefines legacy, not just in what we leave behind, but in how we connect while we’re still here
Listen now to uncover how curiosity and communication can bring healing, deepen connection, and transform both your relationships and your life.
