Listen "46 - Dementia: You lost the Remote... and Also 2005"
Episode Synopsis
This week on The Barn Philosopher, Shelby and Ridge open up about a deeply personal and challenging topic—dementia. Both hosts have seen its effects firsthand through family members, and they reflect on the heartbreaking realities of watching loved ones slip away.
Shelby shares his raw perspective, admitting he’d rather disappear into the woods than have others witness his decline. Ridge, ever the thoughtful counterbalance, offers his own take on what it means to face aging and vulnerability with dignity.
It’s a conversation about fear, loss, and the value of memories—both the ones we hold onto and the ones that slip through our fingers. Join us for an honest, heartfelt discussion on how dementia shapes families, identities, and the way we think about our own futures.
