May 15, 2023 Episode 76: Becoming Your Own Dementia Expert
Learn my formula for developing and tweaking strategies when faced with dementia behaviors: neurodegeneration plus personality plus values plus cohort. Sounds complicated, but it is not. When you know how a particular type of dementia is affecting behavior, you can select a strategy and then personalize it by knowing your family member's personality, value system, and time period when they were born.

April 14, 2023 Episode 75: How Difficult Family Dynamics Can F*ck With Dementia Caregiving
Pre-dementia family relationships can make caregiving even more challenging. In this episode, I discuss different ways family dynamics cause dementia caregiving to be even more stressful and some approaches to dealing with these dynamics. Whether you are dealing with a super-critical parent who complains nonstop, non-caregiving family members who criticize your care, or sibling fighting that just never seems to stop, this episode may help.
