Introducing Your Life's Archive!

Your Life's Archive is a transformative personal growth online course inspired by my years immersed in the archives of Maria Chabot and Georgia O'Keeffe

Many of you have asked me if I might teach a class about working with archives and, while I thought that was an interesting idea, it is hard to teach about archives you are not familiar with. BUT...there is one type of archive I am very familiar with: personal archives.

Without Maria's personal archive, we wouldn't be here now. Her biography wouldn't be on its way. A flawed historical narrative would persist and Maria would never get the recognition she so deserves.

I was spoiled by Maria's archive and it led me to think about my personal archive. Where to begin? What do I even have? Where is everything and in what format? What is important to me? Who cares?

You are the only you that will ever exist and your stories and experiences matter—yet so much of what we experience disappears. Photos are scattered, stories are half-remembered, and the deeper context of who we were and why we mattered fades faster than we expect. Your Life’s Archive exists to change that.

The outcome of this transformative, self-paced course is a living repository for your memories, milestones, reflections, and relationships—designed to preserve not just what happened, but what it meant.

Why?

• Our lives are fragmented across platforms. Photos live in one app, notes in another, messages somewhere else, and the connective tissue—the story—is missing.

• Memory is fragile and time is unforgiving. Important moments, lessons, and voices are often lost simply because there’s no intentional place to keep them.

• Future generations want more than dates and names. They want context, perspective, and humanity—something traditional records rarely provide.

  
  

Problems Your Life’s Archive Solves

• Loss of personal history. It creates a structured, intentional space to preserve memories before they disappear.

• Overwhelm and disorganization. Instead of scattered files and forgotten folders, everything meaningful lives in one coherent archive.

• Silence between generations. It bridges the gap between lived experience and inherited understanding by capturing stories in your own words.

  
  

The Outcome

The result is a living legacy: a clear, human, enduring record of a life fully seen—by you now, and by others long after.

Your Life’s Archive isn’t about dwelling in the past. It’s about honoring the present and protecting what matters most, so nothing essential is lost to time.
