A Lifebrary you can listen to.
Rishika’s curiosity about people and the lessons hidden in ordinary lives inspired her to start Lifebrary. Books preserve ideas and photographs preserve moments. Lifebrary preserves lived experiences in the voices of the people who lived them.
Most podcasts spotlight accomplishments or follow a theme. Lifebrary celebrates life itself: struggles, choices, turning points, wisdom and everyday experiences, whether or not the guest is famous.
Inspired by Michelle Obama’s example of using one’s voice to create positive impact, Rishika hopes every recorded experience will help someone understand life and themselves, a little better.
The shelf has no labels
Every life holds
a lesson.
From Nana-Naani’s memories to hard-won lessons of survival, each recording becomes a small gift to the future.
