[One Generation to Another] Why Is It So Hard to Release Our Legacy Keepsake into the World?

Most Legacy Keepsake projects are a lengthy process. You would think that, after multiple reviews and revisions, the family would be eager to publish their Keepsake. Yet we’ve noticed the opposite to be true. As the end draws near, families tend to slow down. They nitpick over sentences, second-guess the stories, and wonder if they’re getting the overall story right. Letting go of the project often makes families feel vulnerable.

On this episode of One Generation to Another, Melissa and Dave explore why families struggle to let go of their Keepsake. They discuss:

• Why the desire to keep editing is often tied to fear;
• What the most common responses to that fear are;
• Why letting go is so emotional for the family; and
• How to move forward when fear creeps in about releasing it into the world.
