Irish heritage is something that is very important to me. Our family traditions are a big part of what makes us who we are. In this episode, I cover some of my favorite traditions and why they matter so much to me.

Since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, why not enjoy some storytelling that’s on theme!

Some of my favorite questions to ask storytellers this time of year are:

• Do you have fond memories or no memories of St. Patrick's Day?
• Who were you with for your favorite memory of St. Patrick's Day?
• What happened in your favorite memory of St. Patrick's Day?
• When did your favorite memory of St. Patrick's Day happen?
• How did your favorite memory of St. Patrick's Day make you feel? How do you feel now about it?

5 Minute Storytelling Scripts

When creating a legacy story, you don’t need to spend a lot of time to gain a lot of return. I like to focus on five-minute storytelling. These are pre-written, conversational scripts to share with nursing staff and those who are serving someone in care. They provide a guide and framework to write the story. It’s quick and to the point, but the rewards can be enormous.

Use these five-minute storytelling scripts to help caregivers share their memories about your parent, grandparent, or beloved aunt. Sometimes, caregivers have sides to the story that families don’t have full access to, and that can make for a robust legacy.

How to build rapport with your storytellers

Jumping into conversations with complete strangers can be nerve-racking, hard, and just downright scary. I'm not going to tell you that this work of working with others to tell their stories is always easy. What I am going to do is offer suggestions, advice, and my own experiences to help you along the way.

This is all about how to start conversations about cooking memories and how to keep the conversations going.
