IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!  This week we're dropping an encore episode that originally aired in March, 2023  when the podcast was brand new. Now, over a year later, we have  so many more listeners who we're sure want to hear our interview with Kathy Bradley, founder of the nonprofit Our Mother’s Voice. She offers valuable information to anyone with a loved on in long-term care, in or outside of the home. 

Sometimes we witness or simply sense in our gut that something isn’t right. Take advantage of the advice and resources Kathy Bradley shares to help you be an advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves.When it’s happening to someone who is helpless to stand up for themselves, we have an obligation to step in and help. But are we armed with the tools and knowledge to tackle the problem?
