We just wrapped up a month of conversations around caregiving as our children go back to school, or in some cases, leave home for the first time. Now our caregiving conversation switches to our September theme around Alzheimer's.

I am a mother, and I am a caregiver to a father with Alzheimer's.

There's a lot that comes together in that intersectionality.

Oftentimes we experience life transitions or pauses in our life that isn't necessarily positive.
And in fact, it probably feels like a tornado is coming through us. But that's when we have to readjust and recognize our true priorities.

One of my guests from last month, Babs Plunkett, joins me today has an amazing story. Many of her family members have battled Alzheimer's and dementia. She's going to talk about the journey that comes with that, a journey that hit home for me because I started that same journey of really trying to find what my purpose was when my dad was diagnosed.

I didn't know that that's really what I was subconsciously doing.
There was just something that tugged at the heart inside me, and I started asking myself what it is I really want to be doing?

How do I want to live this life?

How do I want to show up for myself and for the people around me through all of this?

So if you're at the stage of life, someone caring for your children and caring for your parents, join us in this series, as we explore Alzheimer's and caregiving.

And that first story that we will share is the one of inspiration that comes from our previous podcast, guests Babs Plunkett.
