Retirement marks the transition from doing to telling. The career stories, the lessons, the people you worked with, the values you forged — most retirees never write them down. Heirloom captures them in your own voice, organized by theme, ready for your children and grandchildren. Family Council captures spouse, siblings, work peers if you choose. The Keepsake Memory Book ($199 one-time) becomes the keepsake of the retirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does typical retirement memoir take?
6-12 months of weekly 30-min sessions creates a rich Family Council. Prefer a faster pace? Sessions are self-paced, so you can schedule them more intensively and finish in a few weeks.
Career-specific prompts?
Yes — we have prompt sets for specific industries (medicine, law, business, teaching, military, etc.).
Can colleagues contribute as Council members?
Yes — Family Council can include trusted colleagues, mentors, mentees — there's no member cap.
Most popular timing?
