In this episode, I sit down with Adria Thompson, a Speech-Language Pathologist and TEDx Speaker, to talk about dementia through the lens of communication, caregiving, and emotional connection.

Adria explains what’s really happening when words, memory, and behavior begin to change and how families can respond with patience instead of frustration.

This conversation offers real tools, clarity, and reassurance for anyone caring for or loving someone with dementia, while also acknowledging the grief that often comes with the journey.

💛 A necessary conversation for families who are trying their best and need guidance, not judgment.
