Tell Me Over Tea Podcast Episode 3: Dear Nan | A Letter that Feels Like Home

Show Notes In this episode of Tell Me Over Tea, I’m sharing something very close to my heart — the very first letter in my Dear Nan series.These letters are written to my beloved Nan, Betty Rae, who was not only my grandmother but one of the most important people in my life. They’re a way for me to hold onto our 50 years of connection, conversations, laughter, and love — and to honour the ordinary but extraordinary life she lived.In this episode, you’ll hear me read:💌 The first “Dear Nan” letter, written two years after she passed✨ Memories of childhood days at her home in Narrabeen🌿 Reflections on the gift of asking questions, listening, and writing things down💛 Why letters are my way of keeping connection aliveThis series is part remembrance, part storytelling, and part love letter to the power of memory. I hope, as you listen, it inspires you to think about your own family stories — and maybe even start writing them down.Pour yourself a cuppa and settle in at the kitchen table with me.I hope you enjoy this episode.Kim xPS I would absolutely love it, if you wouldn’t mind leaving a review.
