Welcome to the ninth podcast! I hope you don’t mind we took last week off, but we’re back for another amazing podcast about Memory Keeping. We’ve talked about so much of the foundational elements of memory keeping already-- first we covered figuring out your why, then gave you the first few steps for getting started, we talked about our favorite apps that help with memory keeping, and even got down into the nitty gritty of backing up your data. Our last couple episodes were all about creating routines and catching up on past memories you haven’t documented yet. And most of these topics have been about things that you need to do to document your memories--but sometimes you don’t have to have all of the burden and pressure of doing these tasks yourself. This is when you hire professionals!

In this podcast episode, Katie and I are tackling the topic of catching up on Memory Keeping. We talk about some steps you can take to ‘work towards finishing it,’ give some tips on making the process easier, and also share a fun announcement to hopefully help keep you and other people who are catching up on memory keeping inspired and motivated.

Today we are diving into the topic of how to create a routine with memory keeping. We all know how easy it is for some of our favorite tasks to be pushed to the back-burner for a multitude of reasons. We become busy, we’re too tired, there isn’t enough time in the day, and so on. Before you know it, it’s been months or maybe even years since you’ve last done anything to memory keep.

This week’s episode is pretty special because we have our first ever guest on the podcast! We chatted with Katie Scott, a writer, online content creator, and blogger who has a website called ChasingVibrance.com. Help us in welcoming Katie by checking out her site and giving her social media accounts a follow! Also, unfortunately, I couldn’t join in with the interview this time as I was feeling a little under the weather (stupid migraines), but don’t worry I’m is fine! I will join back in next week’s podcast for sure.

In this episode of The Memories Podcast, Katie and I give you a pep talk on confidence and chat about the four ways that you can easily get yourself in front of the camera. We talk about the importance of getting yourself in your own photos and videos, times in which we had wished we had been in our own images more, and some of the things that we do to achieve that now.

In this episode Katie talk and I about how to backup your memories in a safe and consistent way. We know this may seem like a boring topic, but it is so IMPORTANT. There’s nothing worse than working so hard. And documenting all your memories and losing them. Both myself and Katie have been through this to some extent with losing memories, and they share their stories too.

Katie and I are really on a roll here, and we hope that you’re enjoying listening to the Memories Podcast. We have received so much great feedback so far, and truly appreciate all of our listeners. We’ve talked about establishing your Why when it comes to Memory Keeping, gave you a few clear steps for getting started with your own Memory Keeping journey, and now we’re going to share some fun and easy apps that can continue to help you get started.

In this podcast Katie and I chat about the beginning stages of getting started with Memory Keeping. We explain that getting started can feel pretty overwhelming—you might be wondering what gear you need, what programs to use, how often to do it and how to keep everything organized and safe. So, we’ve have broken it down into a little timeline of what you need to do next.
