Why did you choose this theme?

People caring for loved ones with dementia are often overwhelmed, confused, and exhausted. They have little time to explore available resources to guide them on their journey. Podcasts are an excellent, easy, and portable way to obtain knowledge, guidance, and support. All of these podcasts are hosted by women who have provided care to a loved one with dementia.
