Capturing Life: The Art of Organizing Memories with Cathi Nelson
There have been great societies that did not use a wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of photos on your phone? In this episode of 'Real Life Resilience', host Stacy Brookman chats with Cathi Nelson, the mastermind behind The Association of Personal Photo Organizers. Cathi's mission is to help people tell their stories through well-organized photos. She realized that if folks can't find their pictures, they can't share their precious memories.
Cathi's journey into photo organizing began with a simple yet profound goal: to make sure memories aren’t lost in the digital chaos we all experience today. Cathi explains how organizing photos isn't just about tidying up; it's about weaving a narrative that preserves family traditions and boosts children's self-esteem. She shares practical tips on how to manage your digital and printed photos, making it easier to cherish and pass down those moments.
The episode also touches on the 'Do You Know Scale', a fascinating tool that shows how knowing family history can positively impact a child's confidence. Listeners will gain a fresh perspective on the importance of photo organization, not just for the sake of neatness, but as a way to enrich their lives and those of future generations. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to declutter their digital life and find meaningful ways to preserve their family's story.
