Louisiana: Red Lipstick, Hidden Heirlooms, and Family Secrets (with Arlene Rome) | Episode 101
Episode 101
Thursday, 5 March, 2026
What if the most precious pieces of your family history were ones you had to secretly carry home five steps at a time? In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Arlene Rome, a Louisiana native and retired nurse whose story of love, loss, and quiet rebellion will stay with you long after you finish listening. Arlene grew up in the golden summers of Metairie with a grandmother who drove a red convertible, played "These Boots Were Made for Walking" on an 8-track, and loved her fiercely — until a family rift tore them apart. What Arlene did to stay connected, and what her grandmother gave her the day before she died, is the kind of story that reminds us exactly why family stories are worth preserving. If you've ever felt the ache of a family relationship cut short too soon — or wondered what it means to be the last one standing with all the memories — this episode is for you. 〰️ 🌳 🧬 〰️ 🎧 Ready to discover more stories that could transform your family connections?
