Hi there! I am Nicole

Beyondhood's Founder & Chief Storyteller

Let me tell you our story:

My grandpa and I have always been inseparable. He is my mentor, storyteller, and source of inspiration.

Our bond was built on countless hours spent sifting through his solo travel photos, hearing his war stories, and absorbing his business anecdotes as we drove through the rustic landscapes of rural China.

Through my work, I met many remarkable individuals. Rusty, who found a long-lost video of his younger self at the gym on YouTube, his face lighting up with youthful pride. Lesley, who, despite her battle with dementia, shared how she found strength in her family's unwavering love.

Each story I heard was a precious thread, weaving together the rich tapestry of their lives. I carried these stories with me, cherishing them deeply.

Our Purpose

In 2023, after my grandpa passed away, I found myself drowning in sorrow.
I turned to my favourite podcast for solace, and it struck me like a bolt of lightning—I could never hear his stories in his voice again.

I created Beyondhood to capture the life stories of older adults in their own voices.

Through creating personal podcasts or journals, we capture their wisdom, their laughter, and ensure their love live on, resonating through the generations.
