Episode Synopsis

Send us a textBefore the diagnosis, before the confusion, before the daily calls from the nursing home—there was just me and my mom.In this episode, I take you back to the before. To the childhood memories of buffet lunches, breakroom nail polish experiments, and blue retail vests three sizes too big. You'll meet my mom not as a patient, but as the strong, funny, stubborn woman who raised me—through foot surgeries, rheumatoid arthritis, and Monday Ponderosa runs with Grandma.Because before you become a caregiver, you're just a daughter. And before dementia rewrites everything, there’s a version of the person you love that’s worth remembering.This one’s for all of us holding onto the before.Support the show
