Some of the most powerful stories aren’t told alone. They’re built together, with two people remembering a moment from different angles, filling in details the other forgot, or finishing each other’s sentences.

Whether you’re working with a parent, sibling, spouse, or friend, co-creating a story can deepen your connection while capturing something richer than either of you could create alone.

Pick a shared memory that matters

Start with a moment you both experienced:

• A family vacation
• Moving into a first home
• A moment of challenge or change
• A holiday that went off-script in the best way

Begin with, “What do you remember about that day?” and let the story unfold from there.

Embrace the differences in how you remember

You’ll likely have different details, emotions, or even versions of what happened. That’s not a problem, it’s the magic. Let both perspectives live side by side. This contrast can add humor, depth, and nuance.

Take turns and listen deeply

Try not to plan everything in advance. Instead, talk it through like a conversation. One person remembers something, the other builds on it. You’re not writing a script, you’re discovering the story together.

Tayle’s dual-interview mode (in development) will let two people contribute separately or together to the same story, without needing to be in the same room.

Final thoughts

Storytelling doesn’t have to be solo. When done together, it becomes a living dialogue—a memory held and shaped by more than one voice.
