Dara Kurtz on Legacy letters, Special Occasion letters, and Just Because Letters

I had such a great discussion with Dara Kurtz for this episode. Dara is the author of “I Am My Mother’s Daughter: Wisdom on Life, Loss, and Love.” We talked about intentionally creating your legacy and family traditions. And, we dive deep on the topic of letter writing: why it’s important, along with lots and lots of tips from Dara. Some topics Dara and I discuss include: Why she named her blog “Crazy Perfect Life;” The bag of letters from her childhood that she re-discovered after her mom died; The three different types of letters: Just Because letters; Special Occasion letters; and Legacy letters; Tips for writing each of these types of letters; The mother-daughter journals Dara kept with her kids; and Family traditions as a link between the past, present, and future. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Dara Kurtz. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-day free trial: www.audibletrial.com/widowedparent BetterHelp - Talk with a licensed, professional therapist online.
