Have you ever wished to capture the essence of your family's history in a way that truly engages future generations? Writing a family history that isn’t just a collection of dates and facts, but a living narrative full of the vibrant personalities and rich experiences that shaped your ancestors, is no small feat.
In Episode 30 of The True Wealth Project podcast, Sascha Janzen has an enlightening conversation with Hazel Edwards, a renowned Australian author best known for her beloved children's book ”There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake”.
But Hazel's expertise goes far beyond children's literature. With over 200 books to her name, she has mastered the art of storytelling across genres, and now, she’s dedicated to helping others bring their family histories to life in engaging and meaningful ways.
During the episode, Hazel delves into the importance of writing family histories that resonate with readers, turning the potentially dry recitation of names and dates into compelling narratives filled with the quirks, challenges, and triumphs of real people.
She shares her unique approach to avoiding the common pitfalls of family history writing, such as how to begin the daunting task of documenting your family's past and the significance of focusing on "quiet heroes" who may not have made headlines but played crucial roles in their communities.
Hazel also discusses her personal experiences, from creating personalized stories for her grandchildren to guiding aspiring authors through the process of writing memoirs and family histories that are anything but boring. If you’ve ever wanted to preserve your family’s legacy in a way that truly reflects the vibrancy of their lives, this episode is a must-listen.
Join Sascha and Hazel for an episode that will inspire you to take the first step in documenting your family's unique story, turning it into a legacy that future generations will treasure.
