Hey friends, Jen here. Listen, we all inherit stories, literally every single one of us.

You know, the stories passed around the kitchen table over like the third cup of coffee

or the ones revisited at every single Thanksgiving and Christmas until they just

settle in as cold hard facts. You know the ones I'm talking about. But at a certain point,

and I think a lot of us are in this season right now, we start to look at those stories through a

different lens. And it's not because we're trying to tear our history apart.

But really just we're ready to understand the role that those stories have played in our lives

with a little more clarity and a lot more truth. That is exactly why I'm obsessed with this new

podcast called Family Lour. You can understand why I would love this if you know anything about my family.

It revisits those family legends with so much curiosity and a refreshing sense of nuance.

Because the truth is, when we actually examine the stories we've been handed, we get so much

closer to understanding what actually shaped us into who we are today.

I am excited for you to hear this.

So enjoy this preview of family lore.

And when you're done, you can find full episodes wherever you get your podcasts.

So here is what I want to understand.

Yes.

What made you so interested in all this ancestral lines and ancestral influences?

So I've been interested in it for so long that I can't remember when it started.

But all I can tell you...

So maybe like in childhood?

Childhood.
