For those who have a story to tell.

CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF A GENERATION,

ONE STORY AT A TIME.

The Great Reflection helps families preserve their elders’ voices, wisdom, and stories through professionally crafted podcast interviews. We believe that when we honor these voices with the care they deserve, we create an enduring gift—for them, for you, and for generations to come.

 

What if we could do more than just remember?

  • What if we could capture your loved one’s stories with the depth of “Fresh Air” or “This American Life”—interviews that truly draw out their essence? 

  • What if a skilled interviewer could create the safe space needed for your loved one to reflect, reminisce, and rediscover parts of themselves? 

  • What if future generations could hear their voice, their laughter, their wisdom whenever they needed it most?

 

Our intimate, professionally edited podcast episodes give your family’s storyteller the gift of being truly heard and valued. Through thoughtful conversation with a caring third party, they’ll have space to look back on their journey and forward to their legacy.

 

How it works

  • Preparation – We work with your family to identify the stories, themes, and questions that matter most to you.

  • Connection – Your loved one completes light prep work, including a brief pre-interview, ensuring comfort and the right mindset.

  • Conversation – Our experienced interviewer conducts a 6-8 hour in-person session over one to two days, creating space for deep, meaningful dialogue.

  • Preservation – We craft beautifully edited episodes and host them on a dedicated family website, accessible anytime, forever.

 

The Great Reflection is designed to be an enduring gift of love. We’d be honored to help you give it to your family.
