Whitney Myers, owner and founder of Sacred Stories, shares how personal storytelling through video preserves legacies and enhances care. Her background in ministry, memory care, and family documentation created a natural path toward helping others preserve their life stories through high-quality filmed interviews.

Discussion points:
• Following life's "arrows" rather than looking for definitive answers when making important decisions
• The critical importance of knowing someone's life story when providing care, especially in memory care settings
• Simple conversation starters that open doors to meaningful storytelling, like "What have you been up to lately?"
• How legacy videos are primarily kept private by families as treasured keepsakes
• The value of documenting family stories even with basic equipment - "something is better than nothing"
• Creating meaningful intergenerational conversations through games, dinner table discussions, and guided questions
• The sacred quality of personal stories and how they connect us on a deeper level
