  • Through the Wardrobe: Stepping Into Your Loved One’s Reality
    Mar 22 2025

    What do Narnia, time travel, and improv comedy have in common?In this episode, we explore how dementia twists time and memory—why your loved one might be dressed for a meeting in 1982 or asking if you’ve done your homework. With warmth and a little humor, we’ll unpack how putting on your “Narnia glasses” and embracing the art of “Yes, and…” can transform your caregiving journey.

    💜 Ever felt completely overwhelmed as a caregiver? Frozen in panic, convinced you’re not enough?

    In this episode, I share one of my hardest moments—standing in front of my mother, who no longer recognized where she was or how to eat. She looked at me for guidance… and I froze.

    💭 "I can't do this. I am not enough."

    If you’ve ever felt this way, you are not alone.

    🎧 Listen now to hear: ✔️ Why our brain’s panic response keeps us stuck ✔️ The fastest way to shift from fear to calm ✔️ How to retrain your mind with affirmations

  • Reframing Dementia
    Feb 27 2025

    What if we stopped thinking of dementia as just “memory loss” and started calling it what it really is—brain failure? In this episode, I’m wiping the slate clean (Men in Black style! 🕶️✨) and helping you see dementia in a whole new way.

    We’ll dive into: ✅ Why dementia affects more than just memory ✅ How brain failure is like a glitchy computer (yep, even with unexpected curse words!) ✅ Why music and rhythm still reach your loved one when words don’t ✅ Three simple shifts to reduce frustration and increase connection

    Caregiving is tough, but when we change the way we see dementia, we change the way we respond to it. This episode will give you the fresh perspective and encouragement you need to show up with more confidence, patience, and even a little humor.

    🎧 Tune in, take a deep breath, and remember—you are a Dementia Hero!
