The 3 Questions That Unlock a Parent's Best Stories

The 3 Questions That Unlock a Parent's Best Stories

We ask our parents about the weather. We ask what's for dinner. But we forget to ask about them — the people they were before we existed.

Here are 3 conversation starters that work every time:

"What did your childhood kitchen smell like on a Saturday morning?"

"What was your first job, what did it pay, and what did you buy with your first paycheck?"

"What's the hardest thing you lived through, and how did you find the strength?"

Ask these at your next family dinner. You'll be surprised what comes up.

We help families turn those scattered memories into a beautiful heirloom book.

Idaio Heritage Studio

Hi neighbors! I hope you're having a beautiful week. 🧡

I am launching a local community storytelling initiative called Idaio Heritage Studio. My mission is simple: to help organize, preserve, and beautifully structure the memories that matter most to you before they fade.

Whether you want to: 🧡 Capture the life stories of an aging parent 🧡 Compile a beautiful written tribute for a loved one who has passed away 🧡 Create a lasting keepsake for a deeply missed family pet

I am here to help you put those memories "in perfect order."

How it works:

  1. We do a cozy, stress-free 60-minute chat (over the phone or Zoom)
  2. I write a beautiful narrative and design a gorgeous, custom digital keepsake book with your favorite photos

Because I am launching this week and building my local portfolio, I am looking for just 3 founding families to go through the process at a 50% introductory discount ($99 total).

I accept Visa, Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal.

If you have a story or legacy you want to preserve, please send me a private message. I would be absolutely honored to help you tell it.
