  • Are You A Courageous Caregiver? Author Curtis L. Walker; Lewy Bodies Dementia
    Join Dave, The Caregiver's Caregiver, today at noon, PST, on the RadioStar Worldwide Network, (and afterwards ason recorded podcast), as he interviews author, Curtis Walker. Curtis spent 6, challenging years, caring for his sister, Annette Walker, who was diagnosed with Lewy Bodies Dementia. Lewy Bodies not only impacts the memory and cognitive skills, but it also traumatizes the body in that it causes tightness and rigidity in every major muscle group.
    In his new book, "The Courageous Caregiver", he recalls the stories and events of the care experience, but it also is loaded with the tools that are geared toward equipping the caregiver to manage the care with a sound structure, as well as serving as a reminder that a caregiver must take the time to care for themselves.
    Curtis is very passionate about the caregiver and deliberate about getting this message out to them so that they can be equipped with the right tools to remind the caregiver that they are not alone, but are connected to others who serve at the same level and who really understand the pressures that they are under.

  • Growing Up As You Grow Old, Author, Harriet Tramer
    Harriet Tramer has worked as both a journalist and a (college) instructor. And although the links between these two professions might not be immediately obvious Ms. Tramer has learned that they have much in common: They both demand highly-developed communication skills. People in these two lines of work must not only learn to express themselves well (either verbally or through written words). They must also become adept at listening. 
    In writing Rounding the Circle of Love: Growing Up As She Grows Old Ms. Tramer called into play everything she learned during her more than thirty years as a journalist/ teacher. Her experience guided her as she interviewed experts in various fields - the law, medicine, exercise therapy, enabling her to present technical information in an approachable manner.
    Ms. Tramer graduated with an Bachelors degree from Chatham College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And she has Masters Degrees in Communication and Urban Studies from Cleveland State University. She has written for a variety of newspapers - "The Cleveland Press," "The Cleveland Plain Dealer," Crain's Cleveland Business - and has taught both at Cleveland State University and the New School (in New York City).

  • How to keep the Romance alive when caring for a spouse, Katheryn Leigh Scott
    Join us as Dave, The Caregiver's Caregiver, & co-host, Adrienne Gruberg, (The Caregiver Space), interview actress Katheryn Leigh Scott, author of "Last Dance At The Savoy"), and is also caregiver to her husband, as they discuss, "How To Keep The Romance Alive Caregiving Your Spouse"
    When Kathryn Leigh Scott's husband was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a neurological disease for which there is (so far) no cure, it was a devastating time for both of them, not least because so little is known about the cause or treatment of a disease that affects some 20,000 Americans, a number similar to that of Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS).
    LAST DANCE AT THE SAVOY is both a personal story about Scott's husband, Geoff Miller, the founding editor of Los Angeles magazine, who lived life fully despite having a terminal illness, and a sharing of her insights on dealing with the day-to-day issues of caring for someone with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). *Includes a resource guide. *A percentage of royalties are donated to CurePSP
