Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of questions will be asked?

    Each interview is unique but we will ask questions in a trajectory; childhood/ancestors, career, marriage, parenting and the wisdom learned along the way. The host will ask follow up questions that will allow you to explain further. Before your interview starts, you will have an opportunity to tell the host if there are specific questions you want to be asked, or any areas you want to avoid. This is your interview, if you decide afterwards that there are parts of the interview you would like deleted- that is no problem.

  • Our family has sensitive history.

    Some of the most important stories shared, are not easy to talk about. We grow and learn which is the biggest takeaway. Our guide will help you decide what to say and how to say it. Occasionally we are asked to stay away from certain subjects. We will take the conversation where you want it.
