A podcast series produced by and for those of us with cognitive decline.
Empowering those with Cognitive Decline
We started this podcast to help those diagnosed with dementia realize they’re not alone and that there are ways to live well with their diagnosis. By sharing personal stories and practical tips, we aim to create a supportive community. We hope our podcast becomes a valuable resource for finding expert advice and guidance across various fields, helping everyone navigate their journey with dementia more effectively.
