In this episode of Honestly Aging by Friends Life Care VigR®, we sit down with Clémence Scouten, owner of Memoirs & More, to discuss documenting your life story and family history. Clémence shares her expertise on:
- The value of writing memoirs and family histories
- The process of creating a memoir, family history book, and ethical will
- Tips for those interested in DIY family history projects
- How to approach sensitive topics in your life story
- The benefits of working with a professional memoir writer
Whether you're considering writing your own memoir or looking to preserve your family's legacy, Clémence offers valuable insights and practical advice. Learn how to overcome common challenges and create a lasting record of your life experiences.
Clémence began working on custom family projects in 2010 while employed as a philanthropic advisor to a wealthy couple in Boston. By 2016 she had moved back to her hometown of Philadelphia and founded Memoirs & More.
Her prior experience working with C-suite leaders, and her years climbing the corporate ladder in marketing & communications, taught her what she needed to know to launch and market a small business. Her success with Memoirs & More clients says as much about her clients as it does her. They bond over their mutual appreciation, and she is lucky to count many of her past clients as friends.
