    "Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the power of storytelling and the impact of sharing your life’s journey. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re diving into a topic that touches all of us at some point in life: personal growth through change.

    Change is one of life’s few certainties. Whether it’s a career shift, a move to a new place, the loss of a loved one, or simply the transition from one stage of life to another, change challenges us, shapes us, and ultimately leads to growth. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. In fact, personal growth often comes from the most uncomfortable, unexpected changes.

    In today’s episode, we’ll explore how to reflect on and write about change in your storytelling, how to capture the struggles and breakthroughs that come with personal transformation, and how to share your journey in a way that inspires and connects with others. No matter where you are in your own evolution, this episode will help you embrace change as a key part of your legacy."

  • The Impact of Small Decisions on Your Life Path

    "Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the art of storytelling and how sharing your journey can create a lasting impact. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re talking about something that we often overlook but that holds incredible power: the impact of small decisions on your life path.

    We tend to think that major life changes come from big, bold choices—choosing a career, moving to a new city, getting married, or starting a family. But in reality, our lives are shaped just as much—if not more—by the small, everyday decisions we make. The people we choose to talk to, the habits we build, the seemingly insignificant choices we make each day—these are the moments that create the story of our lives.

    In today’s episode, we’ll explore how small decisions influence the trajectory of our lives, how to recognize and appreciate their impact, and how sharing these moments in your storytelling can add depth and meaning to your narrative. Whether you’re reflecting on choices from your past or trying to be more intentional about the present, this episode will help you see the power in every decision you make."
