In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the struggles and frustrations that arise from unreliable service providers in the context of Alzheimer's caregiving. Join us as we explore the immense challenges caregivers face navigating an already complex landscape, compounded by the unreliability of service providers. Through personal anecdotes and insights, we shed light on the emotional, logistical, and practical difficulties that emerge when trust is broken. Together, we examine these challenges' impact on caregivers and their loved ones with Alzheimer's, offering perspectives and potential solutions for a more supportive and reliable caregiving experience.

In the second part of this compelling episode, we shift our focus to an inspiring story of determination and longing.

Against societal expectations and obstacles, Timiro faced numerous challenges in pursuing her dreams. We explore her struggles, triumphs, and the lasting impact of her unwavering spirit. Through heartfelt narratives and reflections, I honour my mother's courage and delve into the universal themes of resilience and the pursuit of personal aspirations. Prepare to be inspired as we celebrate the remarkable story of a woman who dared to defy expectations and follow her heart.
