Show Notes
We all have family stories. All are true, and some actually happened.
Marshall Duke, professor emeritus at Emory University, joins the podcast to discuss the stories we tell, and how they instill connection, resilience, and strength.
Marshall P. Duke is the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Emory University, where he has served as Director of Training in clinical Psychology and as Chair of the Department of Psychology. As a member of Emory’s psychology faculty for more than 50 years and as a core faculty member with The Emory Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life (MARIAL), he has studied a variety of family issues, most notably the development of a child’s intergenerational self and how family narratives—or knowing the ups and downs of one’s family story—can help build resilience in children and teens.

At Recustom, we have a saying: We want to help you make ritual your own, so you can welcome whatever life brings. Rituals are a way to ready ourselves against the unpredictability of life. In this episode, we consider rituals as a way to usher in gratitude, and to be reminded of what we already have.
