Do you ever wonder what would happen if you got 4 people in a room who weren't worried about what other people thought? Me too!

Sooooo... Are you ready for that convo? I know I am. This episode is four people coming together to have an intentional conversation on mental health and all the things it impacts (relationships, self love, behavior, work stuff etc.)

The line up...

We want you to be part of the conversation! Message me with your answers, questions, comments, and suggestions!

This is my reflection on a really intentional livestream that happened over on the Facebook Page. You can watch/listen to it here. It is definitely a conversation that could have gone for hours. I'm looking forward to chatting with Troy again and being intentional with our time and conversation. Take a listen to the podcast episode and let me know what thing you did :)

Things don't need to be perfect to be right. How helping the person in front of you is all you need to be successful in this storytelling journey.

Join Christina Andreola (New Narrative) and Gael Gilliland (The Legacy Recorder) as they chat about personalized Celebrations of Life and how hiring an Event Planner can be one of the best decisions you'll make during this process.

We discussed the Celebration of Life event trends (yeah!), options for families, and the different ways families are telling the stories of their loved ones.

~

Christina was always passionate about telling people stories. When she had the unique opportunity to help tell her uncle story in the form of his celebration of life after he passed away, she, of course, said yes. She had already been a part of the event planning industry in Canada for a number of years. 

Her family felt she was an obvious choice to plan what would be a large-scale event for her uncle's celebration of life. From lining up caterers to securing the venue, Christina planned out the event so her family could process and morn uncle’s loss.

The funeral and death industry has long been a dreary, depressing, sad and dark expression of a loved one. The next generation of funeral and death industry professionals are encouraging families and loved ones to embrace joy in their end-of-life celebrations. the focus is on the story of the person and the way they lived their life rather than how and why they died. 

While this change has been happening for a while I believe Gen-X and Millennials will be at the forefront and forerunners of this culture change. Christina with New Narrative memorials is one of those leading the charge.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the interview.
