In this episode, retired teachers Lisa and Sue-who somehow survived 35+ years in classrooms without permanently losing their minds-talk about aging, memory lapses, and why walking into a room now feels like a pop quiz you didn’t study for. They swap stories about forgotten names, family conversations that move faster than their recall, and the comic relief that comes with realizing you’re not alone in this stage of life. 

Along the way, they discuss genetic testing, memory fears, and why grace (for ourselves and others) might be the most important lesson we ever learn. Dementia isn’t funny, but the everyday brain blips of aging absolutely can be.
