How it works

Each Before Now pack contains everything you need: conversation cards covering different life aspects (from childhood memories to life lessons), recording guides, and a quality ring-bound book that grows with your conversations and photographs.

The process is simple and meaningful. You're in control:

  1. Choose from our carefully crafted question cards covering topics like childhood, career, relationships, and life experiences within the two broad categories of ‘advice’ and ‘reflections’
  2. Have natural, flowing conversations with your loved ones
  3. Record these discussions (with their permission)
  4. Receive professionally transcribed cards of your conversations
  5. Create a personalised book that preserves these memories forever

Why Before Now?

Too often, we realise too late that we wish we'd asked more questions, learned more stories, or
simply listened more carefully to our loved ones' experiences. Before Now creates the space and structure for these important conversations to happen naturally and meaningfully.

Whether you're speaking with parents, grandparents, or other people in your life, Before Now helps you:

  • Deepen your understanding of those closest to you
  • Preserve memories and wisdom for future generations
  • Create lasting records of your loved ones' stories
  • Share family history in a way that feels natural and comfortable

We've designed every aspect of Before Now to be warm, accessible, and respectful - ensuring everyone feels comfortable sharing their stories in their own way, at their own pace.

Make time mean more.
