Whether or not you realize it, you already have a memory-keeping project. The photos you take, the stories you save, the moments that linger — they're forming a record of your life.

In this episode, I walk you through four foundational practices for making that process more intentional and meaningful.

You'll learn how to move from random memory-keeping to intentional, meaningful documentation, so your stories become a source of clarity, presence, and connection. You'll see how to use your stories to express your heart, preserve what matters, and connect more deeply with the people you love.

Topics:

• Why you already have a memory-keeping project (what I refer to as a 'preservation project')
• How to make your documenting more intentional and less random
• The difference between collecting photos and creating emotional clarity
• Four foundational practices: Observation, Preservation, Expression, Connection
• Ways your stories can serve as tools for self-reflection and relational connection
• A deeper purpose behind documenting that goes beyond nostalgia
