Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

STOP THE CRISIS: 3 Systems to End Caregiver Burnout
Q: Caregivers feel like they're drowning in to-do lists. Can you give three practical systems that every home needs to have in place to stop the household from running in crisis mode?
Three practical systems are: first, establish daily routines that anchor the day and create predictable downtime; second, develop policies and procedures to define roles and decision-making steps, enabling others to help; and third, treat self-care as mandatory by scheduling it first, just as a medical shift would be scheduled, to prevent burnout and keep caregivers functional.
Why We Wait Too Long for Hospice (And What It Costs Us)
Q: How can families initiate conversations about end-of-life wishes without it feeling morbid?
Start with gentle, forward-looking questions about memories, bucket lists, and what positives can be highlighted today; introduce tools like Five Wishes or simple conversation prompts to ease into the topic.
Why We Wait Too Long for Hospice (And What It Costs Us)
Q: What are the practical benefits of involving hospice earlier in the care timeline?
Hospice provides a coordinated team (chaplain, social workers, nurses, and doctors) and at-home care that can relieve the family burden, allow better symptom management, and support decision-making without forcing hospital visits.
Alzheimer’s is Scary, Art Isn’t - How to Connect When Words Fail
Q: What advice would you give listeners about communicating with a loved one who has dementia?
Listen more than you talk, engage with what matters to them, and be willing to participate in their reality and pace; sometimes the best conversations come from simply being together and making room for the moment.
Alzheimer’s is Scary, Art Isn’t - How to Connect When Words Fail
Q: Can you tell us about your books and how art intersects with the story of you and your mom?
The book Don't Walk Away: A Care Partner's Journey is based on nine years of shared experience, with artwork by my mom; it offers a hopeful, different lens on dementia and showcases practical, heart-centered moments.
