For our season eight finale, I had the honor of speaking to the editor-in-chief of Guideposts, a faith-based magazine I grew up reading, as my grandparents were subscribers. If you’ve listened to past episodes, you know that Alzheimer’s disease has profoundly affected my family, my grandparents, in particular—and that is the topic of conversation today, as I speak with Edward Grinnan about his mother’s battle with the disease and his fear of one day falling victim to it, too. This beautiful conversation has ugly facts embedded into it, like that, in the absence of a cure, Alzheimer’s will have a $355 billion economic impact by 2050. I was not given a brain for science to help cure this—but I am able to do my part to spread awareness of it. I am proud to use any platform I have to advocate for a cure for this terrible disease—and I want to dedicate this season eight finale (and all of my work) to my grandparents, who I miss every day of my life.
