LilyList: The First 26 - A Field Guide to Capturing What Matters Most
Our new book is finally here. 'The First 26' is a practical field guide to having the conversations that matter most, inspired by a year of interviews and storytelling.
Key Takeaways
- A practical field guide derived from podcast interviews, offering a roadmap for capturing personal and family legacies.
- Features the 'Record, Reflect, Collect' framework to help overcome the fear of where to start sharing your story.
- Available in both paperback and eBook formats, designed for anyone wishing to preserve memories for future generations.
What does it mean to leave a legacy? For many, the word implies financial planning or dusty archives. But at LilyList, we believe legacy is a living, breathing thing - found in the sound of a voice, the secret to a family recipe, and the lessons learned through a life well-lived.
After a year of deep-dive interviews on the LilyList podcast, I am thrilled to announce the release of our first book: LilyList: The First 26.
This book is more than just a collection of interviews; it is a practical field guide designed to help you navigate the “Record, Reflect, Collect” framework in your own life. Each chapter is inspired by an episode from our first season, taking the raw wisdom of our guests and turning it into actionable storytelling exercises for you.
Why We Wrote This
We saw a recurring theme in our first 25 episodes: people want to share their journeys, but they often don’t know where to start. They worry their stories aren’t “extraordinary” enough, or they struggle to find the right words.
The First 26 was written to bridge that gap. It’s for the grandparents who want to ensure their recipes aren’t lost, the parents who want to share their favorite life-changing books, and the children who want to capture the essence of their elders before the opportunity passes.
What’s Inside?
Inside the book, you’ll find:
- Compelling Summaries: Key takeaways from our most impactful podcast conversations.
- Reflective Themes: Deep dives into the universal experiences of love, loss, and resilience.
- Storytelling Actions: Specific prompts and exercises to help you start your own LilyList page today.
Whether you are building a legacy page for yourself or a tribute page for a loved one, this book serves as your roadmap. It reminds us that we are more than just memories; we are the music, the lessons, and the stories we leave behind.
