I’m so excited to announce that I am re-launching The Life, Love, and Alzheimer’s Podcast!
As you may know, I originally started this podcast back in 2018. I recorded five episodes and then quit.
At the time, my mom was still alive and I was living far away from her. She was in Delaware with my dad and I was in Florida with my husband.
The distance was so hard on me that I entered into what I now know was a depression.
So, after I launched my podcast and it wasn’t an immediate success, I quickly lost the motivation to keep going. Depression and grief will do that.
A little over a year later, we moved back home and about three months after that, my mom died. I guess you could say it’s been a lot!
For the last few years, I have felt an intense calling to re-launch my podcast, and I can no longer ignore it.
I want to be upfront that this will not be a caregiving podcast. I will not be giving tips on how to deal with certain behaviors, symptoms, or activities of daily living. There are other, better people who are already doing that.
I will be sharing stories, tips, and tools to help you cope with the emotions of loving someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia. And I will be teaching you how you can apply these lessons to all areas of your life, so that you can grow as a person from this experience.
Think of it as a self-improvement or self-development podcast for anyone who has ever loved someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, or anyone who has struggled to figure out life on the other side of this journey.
I didn’t get into self-development until after my mom died, but I can see how much it would have helped me when she was still living, and I can say that it has changed my life and greatly contributed to my healing.
I can’t wait to teach you what I have learned—that this disease is heartbreaking and awful, but you do not have to emerge as a shell of a person on the other side.
I am here to help you cope with and grow from your Alzheimer’s or dementia journey!
