Tony and Emmy award-winning actress Christine Ebersole (Bob Hearts Abishola, Grey Gardens) joins Dana for the first episode of The Memory Whisperer! Dana and Christine discuss Christine’s experience caring for her mother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis and share their tips for interacting with friends and loved ones battling the disease. Christine reflects on the stronger sense of patience she gained caring for her mom and shares how she learned to love two mothers: the one who raised her and the one she cared for later in life.
