What Is Your Legacy?

The legacy conversation just got personal.

After a four-year hiatus, I'm back behind the microphone - but I'm not the same person who left it in 2022. Between a wedding, the birth of my son, and the whirlwind of the last few years, my perspective on what we leave behind has shifted from "abstract concept" to "daily reality."

In this Season 2 premiere, I get honest about why I stopped, why I'm back, and why I'm questioning if anyone actually "gives a s***" about legacy anymore. This isn't a business podcast. We aren't talking about C-suite strategies or the latest tech campaigns. We’re talking about the "breadcrumbs" of our lives - the values, the vulnerabilities, and the voices we leave for the people we love.

In this episode, I am covering:

• The 4-Year Gap: Marriage, motherhood, and the 2026 goal to return to joy.
• The "Atlas" Effect: How having a child changed my view on recorded memories.
• A New Mission: Why I'm seeking more women’s voices to challenge the male-dominated "legacy" narrative.
• The Anette Inspiration: How the loss of my foster mom continues to drive the heart of this show.
  

I need your help!
I'm looking for 5 incredible women to join the conversation this season. If you know someone with a deep, human perspective (no "big shot" credentials required), reach out to me on LinkedIn or Instagram @Galem Franks

In the next round of conversations for What Is Your Legacy podcast, I chat with Ravi Rajani, a talented storyteller and communicator. He is also the podcast host & creator of The Influential Communicator.

What does it mean to break new ground?
To leave a legacy? To have your life, brain, existence mean something..

I got some Grey's Anatomy inspo for you in today's episode, and a few things to reflect on.

Also giving you a post-valentine's cheesy poem, and a knock-knock joke.. for someone special-ish ;)

Another week, another solo episode!

In this episode, I'm sharing some thoughts around creating traditions that potentially could tie into a generational legacy. If anything, it can help create experiences to be enjoyed in the moment, and create memories for a lifetime.

Decided to do something new - because that's what 2022 is all about for me!

Getting outside of my comfort zone, in many ways this year (which you will hear more details about in this episode), and decided to do an audio diary for this solo episode.

The question is: are we trying to create a legacy for ourselves, other people, or a combination of both? Is building a legacy selfish?

Questions include:

• 2Pac or Biggie?

Tune in to hear what the rest of the conversation is all about: generational family legacy, faith, and three things he would focus on if he only had 72 more hours to live.

I had to end the year with a reflection of the podcast (and life), and set the priorities and intentions for 2022 (and beyond).

In this episode I share my top 3 priorities for 2022 in more detail (not in a particular order of importance):

• Heal - both emotionally and spiritually
• Physical health & wellness - consistency 
• Intentionality - professionally and personally 

3 areas to be even more intentional about:

• Relationships - align words with actions
• Family & friends
• Job & colleagues 

Join me on this journey of reflection!
