As my husband and I have gotten older, something unexpected has happened—we’ve become deeply curious about our parents’ stories. How they grew up, how they built lasting marriages, how they created successful businesses, and how they continue to enjoy life today.

On the latest episode of The San Diego Edit, I had the joy of sitting down with my mother-in-law, Valerie Holmes. Val shares her childhood growing up in post-war England, memories of a simpler time, and what it was like meeting my father-in-law when she was just 16 years old. This year, they are preparing to celebrate an incredible milestone: 60 years of marriage.

We talk about love, resilience, building a successful business, holding on to what you earn, and the quiet wisdom that comes from a life well lived. It’s a conversation about legacy, perspective, and the stories we don’t ask often enough, but should.
