Hello, friends!

We have a nice question and answer session for you today. Please be forewarned that one of the questions mentions the topic of suicide, so if you are particularly vulnerable to that topic, feel free to skip question #2.

Before we get into the questions, just a quick update on my dementia book “Does My Mom Have Dementia?” – it’s nearing completion and we’re hoping to get it out there in the next couple of months or so! Keep tuned to my social media or make sure you’ve signed up for the newsletter to stay updated!

Hello, friends! I have a Q&A episode for you today. This is an extra special episode for a couple reasons. First off, I’m starting a new weekly tradition. If you share your favorite quote from the episode on social media and tag me, you might be selected to win a free copy of one of my books! Second, my nearly one-year-old kiddo, Leo was very present in this episode. I had to squeeze in the recording between other appointments, so you hear some babbling and such in the background.
