Today’s episode is heartfelt, raw, and one that so many of us will connect with. I’m sitting down with Highland Park native and multi-talented creative, Josh Hickman, to talk about his powerful new book Forgetting: The Trials and Triumphs of Caregiving for a Difficult Parent with Dementia.

Josh is known for his art, novels, and sharp wit—but this book reveals a deeply personal side as he shares what it was like to care for his mother through her battle with dementia. We’ll talk about the emotional highs and lows, the frustration and exhaustion, the surprising moments of humor, and the ways creativity became a lifeline in the midst of it all.

Whether you’re currently walking the caregiving journey, supporting a loved one who is, or just want a better understanding of what families face, this episode will move you, challenge you, and remind you of the grace found in even the hardest moments.
