So what’s the LifeStories story?
It’s a familiar one: how to juggle family and career when work is a heavy commute away. The solution was to transfer twenty years of professional broadcasting skills to a locally-based business. In December 2001 a chance interview on Toronto’s top-rated morning show, Metro Morning, with CBC Radio One host Andy Barrie injected life into the idea of LifeStories. Bernadette and her team have been busy ever since. To date they have worked on more than fifty projects.
"Doing LifeStories is one of the most satisfactory things I’ve ever done. Everybody benefits. My clients are honoured by their families knowing their stories are preserved. Families discover all kinds of things they didn’t know about their loved ones, and I have the opportunity to meet fascinating people and learn history first-hand."
What people say about LifeStories:
"Reviewing my life and work with Bernadette was a most satisfying and revealing experience. We went places I never expected to go. The result was a book I am proud to share with my family and friends. Perhaps they know me a little better. I know I do."

"Dad was thrilled with the end product and it worked out wonderfully to have it to present to him for his birthday. My son told Opa he wants to hear him read the story to him, which I think touched my dad deeply."
