Special » Rhonda Lauritzen » Handling the Hard Stuff: Sensitivities, Surprises, and Trauma

Let me begin with deep thanks for this wonderful, generous group attending today. Rhonda Lauritzen (https://substack.com/profile/39294230...) became an important part of my previous startup and has been incredibly generous as I began this journey into Projectkin. I’m also especially touched to see so many active Projectkin members, including Kathy Stone (https://substack.com/profile/17786895...) , producer behind the Kathy’s Corner (http://projectkin.org/kathys-corner) series, Linda Teather (https://substack.com/profile/18544988...) , Kyla Bayang (https://substack.com/profile/31673349...) , Bill Moore (https://substack.com/profile/51729824...) , Marci KR (https://substack.com/profile/18544985...) , Gwynn Socolich (https://substack.com/profile/26385372...) , Diane Burley (https://substack.com/profile/18300339...) , Bill Butcher, Ann Rockley (https://substack.com/profile/13227539...) , and so many more. I’m truly grateful. This program, like our subscriptions, is available free thanks to the generous support of our Patrons (http://projectkin.org/patrons) .

It’s a beloved heirloom from a limited print run of 100 copies. It’s also an artifact of its time that doesn’t touch the difficult conversations. Unraveling the stories of our ancestors from the knotted balls of expectations has fueled much of the energy I devote to Projectkin. From what I’ve seen, that’s true for many of you. About Rhonda Rhonda Lauritzen (https://evalogue.life/rhonda-lauritzen/) of Evalogue.Life (http://evalogue.life/) , our speaker for today’s program, is one of the great storytelling talents in our genealogy community. She’s an accomplished speaker and professional biographer. As a professional biographer, Rhonda is a frequent speaker at RootsTech (http://Rootstech.org) and other national conferences. You'll find a number of Rhonda’s inspiring talks on YouTube, including this one for Ponga, “Storytelling Through Your Family Photos (   • Ponga Family History Webinar Series with R...  ) ,” and two for Projectkin (https://projectkin.substack.com/t/rho...) . The first followed our All About That Place series in 2024, “The Curious Call of Ancestral Places (https://open.substack.com/pub/project...) .” A second, in January 2025, was part of Jan Hutcheon's Forget-me-Not series about stories told at memorials (https://open.substack.com/pub/project...) .
