The Inheritance of Hope Podcast
How do I use stories and images to build my legacy?
In this episode, we explore legacy as something created through everyday life and not something tied only to illness or mortality. Through our conversation with photographer and storyteller, Amy Murgatroyd, we reflect on the tangible: photographs, stories, laughter, and shared moments that become lasting gifts for future generations. Here’s a tip from Amy: instead of taking photos of just our kids, make sure we’re in them too, so they’ll have memories not just of us, but with us. And beyond what we can see and hold, we explore the emotional impact of preserving memories through images and legacy videos and how being present in ordinary moments helps create meaningful keepsakes that continue to bring comfort, connection, and joy for years to come.
