We all have our own stories—yours, your parents', your grandparents'. Each of us carries years of life experience behind us, but are these stories being shared with future generations? 📚

In this episode, I sit down with Sky Bergman—professor, artist, and the visionary behind the acclaimed PBS documentary Lives Well Lived. Sky is passionate about creating films and projects that inspire intergenerational connections, highlighting the profound impact of sharing stories across generations.🌿 Our conversation with Sky is a reminder that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, and there is immense value in listening to the wisdom of older generations. 💌


Your Dare for the Week ❤️

Your challenge is to bridge the generations—sit down with someone from an older generation and capture their story or interview them, however you choose. Go visit Sky's website for a list of questions, and give the gift of that meaningful experience to a family member.
