  • Amazing

    Fantastic podcast. Anna is still nice to listen to. I was a bit shocked there was no mention of perimenopause in the latest episode about anxiety in a 40-something women-sounded classic to me

  • Dementia Episode

    This is a wonderful open honest episode - driving a really positive direction for living and caring with a loved one who has a dementia diagnosis.

    I lost Dad last year to mixed dementia - a really difficult yet relatively short journey with some really wonderful days outings and experiences too.

    Live in care made this time as gentle on Dad as it could be.

    Thank you Anna, Sean and Jordan
