As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
Erckhart Tolle
It’s funny how life seems to go really smoothly for some people, but not others. To those people, school or work, relationships and friendships seem to make sense and good things seem to come easily. Some people just seem to know what they want to do next, but for others this feels really tough and it’s easy to start feeling left behind.
I CAN HELP YOU REALISE THAT YOU ARE ALREADY OKAY. EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL IT, YOU ARE.
A guided conversation worth keeping
A relaxed, guided conversation that captures the stories, laughter and love between people - recorded so it can be kept and revisited for years to come.
Us, In Our Words is a guided, recorded conversation that celebrates a relationship - the laughter, the stories, the in-jokes, the memories and the love that exists between people.
It might be...
a parent and adult child sharing stories they’ve never quite paused to tell.
​best friends reminiscing and laughing together.
​couples capturing a chapter of their lives.
family members enjoying time together, on purpose.
​a person wishing to share their story, history …or even secret recipes!
This isn’t about digging into the past or working things out.
It’s about enjoying one another, being heard, and capturing a moment in time - just as you are, right now.
The conversation is recorded on Zoom and becomes a keepsake you, and your future generations, can return to again and again.
Every relationship has stories worth enjoying.
Why choose a guided conversation with Marie?
Many people mean to record conversations like this - and somehow never quite get round to it. Or it feels awkward to begin, or hard to know what to ask.
Having the conversation guided means it actually happens - and it stays easy, enjoyable and comfortable for everyone involved.
Marie is skilled at holding conversations that flow naturally, feel good to be part of, and gently steer away from areas that might make things uncomfortable - so you can relax and enjoy being together.
Your conversation, designed together
Before we record, we spend time shaping the conversation together.
You can suggest questions, themes, memories or moments you’d love to include - and let Marie know anything you’d prefer to steer away from.
​
Marie will then guide the conversation using thoughtful prompts that keep things light, connected and natural - leaving room for laughter, warmth and spontaneity.
​
​The interviewer’s voice doesn’t need to be included. This is part of our design together.
No scripts. No pressure. Just a good conversation, well held.
Planning
We will meet on Zoom and talk through the relationship, the tone, and what would make the conversation feel most enjoyable, anything specific you’d like to capture.
Guidance
Marie will provide preparation guidance advice and handouts to help you set your environment for your recording; considering the best wifi available to you, the best lighting, any mics available to enhance your audio and any other aspects you have within your own home. These preparations make a big difference.
Marie will also provide a guidance sheet with questions we might follow, based on the planning conversations.
Recording
Meeting on Zoom for up to 60 minutes, Marie will guide the conversation, keeping it flowing gently and positively while giving plenty of space for natural moments.
​
You receive the full recording link to download and keep forever, which will include some editing at the start and end, but keeping the general thrust of the conversation - a relaxed, real capture of you, together.
All for just £195.00
What our clients have said ...
My dad phoned me crying earlier…The past weeks where mum was dying, they didn’t have a proper conversation as she was unable to… So when my dad was listening to the podcast, he hadn’t heard my mum sound like mum in months. He said 'it was like having his girl back again'.An incredible gift you’ve given us all, Marie! Thank you

We had such a fabulous time of laughs, memories and talking of treasured moments that I will now have forever. I would recommend Us, In Our Words so much as it’s such a special thing to do. With Marie there to guide us we got the most out of our time and were able to be truly US
