What if the most valuable legacy you leave behind isn’t financial at all—but the stories that shape identity and connection?In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with historian and founder of Everyday Legacies, Kasia Flanagan, who helps families preserve their life stories through memoirs, films, and storybooks. Kasia’s personal journey from hardship in rural Idaho to earning a PhD in history and serving families worldwide is a powerful testimony to the resilience found in family narratives.Together, they explore why storytelling is essential for family transition, how vulnerability creates belonging, and why legacy should be thought of as fluid rather than fixed. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to “leave something behind,” this conversation will inspire you to start recording your story today.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:How Kasia’s childhood stories carried her from homelessness to a PhDWhy knowing your history strengthens identity across generationsThe fears that keep families from sharing their stories—and how to face themWhy legacy is about influence, not just assets How storytelling heals old wounds and opens new connectionA practical DIY guide to capturing your own family legacyCheck out Kasia Flanagan's work:Website: https://everydaylegacies.comFree Resource: DIY Guide to Capturing Family History (available at top banner)Connect with Elizabeth Ledoux and The Transition Strategists:Website: https://transitionstrategists.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetransitionstrategistsElizabeth on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethledoux/Transition Strategists on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/transitionstrategists/Transition Strategists on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@transitionstrategistsSubscribe to "The Business Transition Roadmap with Elizabeth Ledoux" on your favorite podcast player:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3MxSYA2Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3IhMMuxCheck out "Your Next Gen Friend Podcast" with Andrea CarpenterSpotify: https://yournextgenfriend.com/open-spotifyApple Podcasts: https://yournextgenfriend.com/apple-podcastGet Elizabeth Ledoux and Laura Chiesman's latest book, "It's A Journey: The MUST-HAVE Roadmap to Successful Succession Planning": https://amzn.to/3oq2LQvReady to explore what a collaborative transition could look like?Schedule a discovery call: https://transitionstrategists.com/discoveryChapters in This Episode 00:00 Welcome & Introduction01:17 Kasia’s...
