Wind Down Wednesday - What Would You Title Your Autobiography?

In this episode of Cousin Ed's Corner, I'm getting real with you about life, family, and the power of sharing our stories. It all started with a conversation I had with my dad about being prepared for life's uncertainties. You know how it is - those heavy talks that make you stop and think about what really matters.

But here's where it gets interesting, fam. My son EJ, who's off at college now, surprised me with this dope gift - a "Family Keepsake Journal. Dad, I Want To Hear Your Story" Now, I'll be honest, it caught me off guard. It's probably the first time he's sent me something without asking for anything in return! But jokes aside, it got me thinking about the importance of documenting our lives and passing down our stories to the next generation.

Throughout the show, I'm sharing some of the questions from this journal and giving you a peek into my own story. I'm talking about my Brooklyn roots, my favorite childhood memories (like cooking breakfast for my grandmother), and some of the best advice my parents ever gave me. And let me tell you, some of these memories shaped the man you know today as Cousin ED!

I'm challenging you, my listeners, to think about your own life stories. "What Would You Title Your Autobiography? What memories and lessons do you want to pass down to your family? I believe we all have a unique story to tell, and it's up to us to make sure it's heard.

So tune in, get inspired: 

This is so important, let's start documenting our lives together. Whether it's through writing, podcasting, or just having heart-to-heart conversations with your loved ones, every story matters.
