What do you want your loved ones to remember—and how do you want them to remember it?

Jill and Gaynell sit down with Heather Nickerson, CEO and co-founder of Artifcts.com, to explore how documenting the stories behind our belongings can transform grief, preserve legacy, and prevent family conflict.

Heather shares the story of her mother's unexpected passing, which left Heather with a 6,000-square-foot estate of her mother's belongings. Even though her mother had some planning in place, there was still no guidance about what her mother's things meant. What was the heart value of those things? That moment sparked her idea for Artifcts, a secure platform that helps individuals document the heart value, history, and future wishes for their most meaningful possessions.

Whether you're navigating your own legacy, downsizing, or simply wondering what to do with that photo album, this episode offers practical tools and emotional insight for anyone who wants to leave behind more than just things.
