Alongside her mother she navigates the daily ups and downs of supporting a loved one, while managing a business, a toddler and her family. From tender everyday moments to the hard truths of exhaustion, being forgotten, and not trusted, she reminds us how essential it is for caregivers to carve out time for themselves. Because caring for someone with Alzheimer’s doesn’t just shape their life—it reshapes yours. Chante share’s her fathers journey first hand…in real time.

This conversation is honest, emotional, and a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a family trying to hold on, let go, and somehow do both at the same time.

Episode 4 - 51 Years old....and I have already lost the mid-life crisis battle

At 51 years old, Dennis should be planning vacations with his family, date nights with Terri, and movie nights with the girls. Not fighting for his memory…his life! In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, Dennis opens up about his journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s, joined by his wife Terri, who shares the reality of watching the man she loves face something neither of them expected so soon. Together, they talk about long and hard road it took to get a diagnosis, the daily battles, the fear, and resilience. This isn’t a story about statistics or medical jargon — it’s a raw look into what it means when Alzheimer’s shows up decades too early. With so few resources available for people his age, Dennis found himself part of a small, overlooked group. Instead of staying silent, he took action — creating his own support network through TikTok and Zoom, reaching others walking the same lonely path….at a way to young age. Because Alzheimer’s doesn’t wait for retirement age. It doesn’t care about plans, goals, or mid-life crises. It takes — and it forces families to find strength in the taking. Listen in as Dennis and Terri pull back the curtain and share their truth — unscripted, uncensored, and unapologetic.

Ready or Not...Someone has to Adult

In this unscripted…uncensored…unapologetic episode, I draw a parallel between a child custody case I investigated — one where three children ages 4, 6 and 8 were left alone without supervision, without an adult — and the devastating reality faced by families navigating Alzheimer’s. Just like those kids, a person living with ALZ is vulnerable, confused, and in need of someone to step up. And that someone... is us. Being the adult isn’t always easy. It’s messy, exhausting, and thankless — but it’s necessary. I talk about the emotional weight of adulting for someone with Alzheimer’s, how it flips the roles we once knew, and why showing up matters more than ever. This is your reminder that while caregiving is brutal at times... you're not in it alone. The ALZ journey doesn’t have a roadmap — but together, we’re figuring it out. One tough conversation at a time.
