Curious about this podcast? You're in the right place! Join Gary Oppedahl and Birga Alden as they host compelling episodes each week, discussing how judgement can quickly waylay relationships, career, faith, health and more. Curiosity, on the other hand, can open the door for understanding, compassion and joy.
Have you ever given much thought to how much you're paying to store your memories? Photos, documents, writing projects, and other pieces of your life may be tucked away in a storage unit or saved in digital spaces, but keeping them often comes at a cost. How much are you willing to pay to preserve those memories? And perhaps the bigger question is, will the next generation even want them when you're gone?

Heart attack and life pivot
This episode of Curiosity Not Judgment looks a little different.In August, Birga's husband, Bob, experienced a heart attack that led to hospitalization and ultimately quintuple bypass surgery. What followed was a whirlwind of uncertainty, recovery, and some unexpected opportunities to reflect on life.In this episode, Bob joins Birga to share his experience, from the first signs that something was wrong to the realities of open-heart surgery and the challenges of recovery. Together, they talk about what it's like when life changes in an instant, and how an experience like this can shift perspectives on what really matters.
