Have you ever wondered how family stories shape who we are today?I would like to introduce you to my dad.  The storyteller who shaped my own journey into storytelling. Growing up immersed in his tales, it was inevitable that I would follow in his narrative footsteps. Now, as he enjoys his retirement years diving back into family history, our bond has deepened, transforming him from not just my father but also one of my best friends.Experience his storytelling firsthand. Expect a host of characters from our family's past—though don't worry about keeping track of everyone. What's important, and what you'll surely feel, is his profound love for family, a love so contagious that I hope it inspires you to share your stories with your own family.I also hope our conversation will spark a few ideas for you of how you can deepen some of your own relationships._______________________________________________Please rate and review this podcast and then share it with your family and friends.For ideas on how to connect more deeply with your family through family stories, follow Crista on Instagram @CristaCowan.
