Full Episode Transcript

My name is Sue. And my name is Nancy. My name is Merritt. In this episode, we’re introducing you to our podcast team and why we’re bringing you our podcast. 

 

Sue: For the past 40 years, I’ve been in a variety of caregiving roles for family members and loved ones. The beginning journeys were absolutely brutal. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster often blindfolded. I’ve learned a lot and I’m committed to helping you learn faster and more easily than I did. 

 

Nancy: And I get it, caring for someone with dementia is at times exhausting and overwhelming. Between my husband, my father -in -law, and my dad, I’ve been in family caregiving for over 25 years. I’ve been frustrated with how difficult it is to find practical tips and I want you to have what I couldn’t find.

 

Merritt: And Nancy is my mom, so I can remember her frustration. My dad was diagnosed when I was 21, so I’ve been on this caregiving journey with my family for the past nine years. In addition to bringing a child’s perspective, I’m also the podcast’s audio engineer and editor. I want to help my mom and Sue’s message be as clear and impactful for you as possible. 

 

Sue: Nancy and I have known each other for many years and have often discussed our caregiving journeys together. We’re both passionate about helping you navigate your caregiving journeys with fewer surprises and more confidence. 

 

Nancy: Our podcast offers practical tips and we have candid conversations to help you tackle day -to -day common dementia challenges. Our purpose is to give you the knowledge and the resources you need to navigate your journey with strength, patience, and peace of mind. We’re all on this journey together.
