What is your family story? How can you make sure future generations know more of their own history?

Welcome back to another episode! In today's conversation, we reconnected with a previous guest, Bonnie Deach. If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out episode 126 for our initial discussion, where we delved into our mutual fascination with true crime and the importance of community. During that conversation, we touched on Bonnie's deep-seated love for storytelling, and today, we're continuing that conversation.

In this episode, Bonnie elaborates on her motivation, methods, and experiences in uncovering and documenting her family's history for the benefit of future generations. Bonnie is a true enthusiast for life, history, and the art of storytelling, and her journey is bound to ignite your own curiosity. Take a moment to reflect on how you, too, can embark on the captivating journey of preserving your family's unique narrative.
