  • Wonderful podcast for caregivers

    Lizette provides a much needed service for caregivers. My mother suffered from dementia and I wished I would have known a resource like this was available to me while I was taking care of her. I have been able to talk to Lizette a few times and she is as knowledgeable and warm on a call as she is on this podcast. I can’t wait to listen to her past episodes and share them with the caregivers I know.

  • So Grateful

    I am so grateful for this ministry God has given Lizette. The podcast is so helpful and encouraging to hear godly wisdom and to receive practical help. It’s often difficult to get the time to search out solid advice but hear I can listen anytime. Even when the topic may not address things we are going through at the moment I know that there will be a time I need it.

    Thank you Lizette and thank you Lord!

  • SO genuine & helpful!

    Lizette has such a passion for helping those who feel as though they’re stumbling their way through memory disorders & all that comes with them. She provides understanding, support, and most importantly, guidance. She addresses topics that most others are afraid to talk about. She talks about the hard stuff, and wants to help you through the specific situations that so often get left out. Everyone walking through a memory care journey needs a Lizette!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

359. Should You Correct Your Husband with Dementia at His Doctor's Appointment?
Q: Do you want me to address the statement, he says things that I know are not correct in the doctors?
The guidance is to address the doctor with concise, fact-based notes rather than challenging the patient in the room, and to use bullet points to ensure the doctor gets a clear picture of what's truly happening.
324. How Christian Caregivers Make Wise Safety Decisions When You Suspect Dementia AND Clarity Is Missing
Q: So Anna, to start with, what has been the hardest for you in your caregiving journey?
The hardest part is not being physically present to oversee care, especially with distance, conflicting behaviors, and uncertainty about whether timely safety actions are being taken; the goal is to identify clear responsibilities and real steps rather than relying on hope.
330. How Christian Caregivers Get Stuck After Moving In to Help a Parent With Dementia
Q: To start us off, what has been the hardest for you right now in your caregiving?
Will explains he uprooted his life to help his parents, dealing with isolation and the stress of coordinating care without clear decision-making authority.
322. How Christian Caregivers Can Stop Burning Out When Church Ministry Collides With Dementia Care — Practical Steps to Set Boundaries Without Guilt
Q: Okay. May I ask a couple of clarification questions?
The host asks clarifying questions to better understand which parts Doris finds overwhelming, particularly whether the pressure comes from leadership duties or from doing large personal-scale ministry tasks, and then guides Doris toward practical steps.
334. How Christian Caregivers Seek Legal Clarity — When the Hard Part Is the Decision
Q: What is one step that you can take today based on our conversation?
Doris suggests setting a firm date to make a decision rather than delaying further, aiming to move from information gathering to decisive action.
