In this episode, I have a heartwarming conversation with Heidi Arave, the co-founder of Nicholas Fern, a company that has spent 20 years helping families preserve their stories in personalized, hardbound books. Heidi's passion for storytelling was ignited by her love for her grandparents, whose lives she wanted her children to know and appreciate. She explains how Nicholas Fern was born out of a desire to celebrate and honor the legacy of parents and grandparents, connecting families through shared stories. These narratives, captured in beautifully crafted books, not only teach valuable life lessons but also build confidence in those who read them.
Heidi shares her insights on the importance of knowing and understanding your personal and family history. She discusses the process of putting together legacy packages, where cherished family stories are curated, published, and can even be captured in unique lockets that hold memories in a tangible form. From DIY options to the larger Legacy Project, which allows individuals to sponsor a senior, Heidi's work reaches out to families everywhere. Through this inspiring discussion, Heidi reveals how sharing family stories can profoundly impact both the storyteller and the listener, creating a lasting bond across generations.
