What Would You Yuck Inside a Time Capsule?

3 Cocktails In

What would you tuck inside a time capsule that tells the story of your life right now? What objects capture your authentic self, your daily rhythms, and what brings you joy? More importantly, how do you want to be remembered when you're gone?
In this surprisingly deep conversation, Amy, Stacey, and Kitty explore the powerful concept of preservation and legacy. What begins as a lighthearted discussion about childhood time capsules quickly evolves into a thoughtful examination of what truly matters in our lives and the impression we hope to leave behind.
Stacey reveals how her basement has become an unintentional museum of memories, housing everything from high school clothes to her grandmother's vintage hats from the 1950s. "To most people it's going to say, well, this is just junk. It's more like a museum, I suppose. But I just can't get rid of some of that stuff because it is nostalgic and it does have a story."
Kitty shares that she'd include jewelry symbolizing her entrepreneurial journey, a handwritten note to future female entrepreneurs, and the podcast microphone – all emblems of her current happiness. "I'm in this whole new phase of life and it's the happiest I've been in my life, and I want a snapshot of this."
Amy contemplates documenting her downtown living experience before her next chapter begins, highlighting how our time capsule selections might change throughout different life stages. The hosts also discuss how preservation methods have evolved from meticulously created photo albums to thousands of digital photos that never get printed.
The conversation naturally flows to the deeper question of legacy. "I want to be remembered as somebody who lifts other people up with authenticity and sparkle and helps people feel really great about themselves," Kitty explains. Amy shares her hope to be remembered for bringing laughter and joy, making others feel understood and less alone.
Listen in as the trio explores family recipes that create bonds between generations, technology that will become fascinating artifacts for future generations, and the realization that legacy isn't about grand accomplishments but about the impact we have on those closest to us.
What would you preserve from your life right now? And how do you hope to be remembered? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts!
