In this insightful podcast episode, Shelly Hoffman sits down with Sheila Ohstrom to discuss the inspiring journey of Sheila's career and her impactful work in the field of dementia care.

Sheila shares her personal connection to the cause, having lost her mother to vascular dementia, which inspired her to start a home care company specializing in dementia care. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish "Living with Dementia Central New York," a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting caregivers and raising awareness about dementia.

Sheila highlights the importance of community support, resource awareness, and the emotional impact of caregiving. The nonprofit aims to provide practical help and respite care for caregivers, offering summits across various counties to bring caregivers together, share practical caregiving tips, and foster a supportive community. As they discuss the future goals for the nonprofit, Sheila emphasizes the need for volunteer networks and foundational sponsors to expand their reach.

This episode is a testament to the power of passion and adaptability, reminding listeners of the profound impact one can make by pursuing meaningful work. Follow "Living with Dementia CNY" on their website and Facebook to stay updated on their initiatives and support this vital cause.

In this episode of Ever Changing and Evolving, Shelley welcomes her longtime friend, Laura Stisser, who is courageously turning a bucket list dream into reality. Laura opens up about the ups and downs of pursuing acting later in life—the doubts, the resilience, and the moments of joy that come with chasing something new. Together, they share a conversation about friendship, growth, and the powerful reminder that it’s never too late to follow your passion.

From real estate to insurance, Steve shares how change can lead to unexpected purpose.

Welcome to the launch of Ever Changing and Evolving! I couldn’t think of a better guest than Steve — a fellow Capricorn, community leader, and the person who’s had my back through both my real estate career and all of my “crazy projects.”

In this episode, we dive into:
✨ The comfort of working with people who “get you”
✨ How humor and shared values create stronger relationships
✨ Steve’s journey from real estate into insurance
✨ The importance of trust, friendship, and community in both business and life

This conversation sets the tone for the journey ahead: honest stories, real lessons, and plenty of laughs along the way.
