Audrey's Gurls

Wine and cocktails paired with a raw, serious yet slightly comical conversation bringing awareness to Alzheimer's for Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. Aniyah and Patrice introduce Leslie (Audrey's daughter/caregiver). Leslie and Aniyah give insight on their daily life being caregivers for Audrey. Patrice asks Aniyah and Leslie to describe Audrey's personality before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Leslie share caregiving tips, how to utilize Medicaid health insurance, how to receive income for caregiving, the benefits of feeding through a g2 tube, ignorant stigmas, early signs of the disease, advocacy, and the overall daily life of caregiving. The gurls stress the importance of decompressing, being compassionate, loving, patient, and how common sense goes a long way with caregiving.

Patrice, Aniyah and Ciera discuss the importance of giving ourselves grace and not putting a timeline on our journey. They give insight on how they have a close bond with their cousin CC (their first guest), and how they're each other's favorite trio. They also talk about the challenges of growing up in a fast-paced world with pressure to succeed in life and unlearning achievement myths. With the challenges of adulthood, they share their different views on starting a family and what direction is best for their personal paths. The discourse ends with how they are at peace with their outcome and how they have grown as women.

Patrice and Aniyah discuss the pros and cons of social media, how Hollywood can be a dark place and share their different views on how people are trying to change their lives to align with religion. The gurls also give insight on how social media can affect mental health, social presence, and body dysmorphia. Do you feel like you're badly influenced by social media, or is your experience more positively influenced?
