A week before his wedding, everything fell apart—and what followed wasn’t a quick recovery, but a slow return to himself, shaped by family, community, and quiet resilience. This conversation moves through heartbreak, cultural perspective, and the kind of support that doesn’t fix pain but helps you carry it differently. It’s a reminder that even when life doesn’t go as planned, meaning and purpose can still grow in unexpected ways.
Jill shares how her grandmother’s decline shaped her life’s work—and why she refused to accept a dementia journey defined only by loss. She explains the DAWN Method, a practical approach that meets people where they are, lowers stress, and helps them keep dignity, meaning, and connection. Along the way, she shows how small shifts in pace, attention, and relationship can change daily life for both the person with dementia and the caregiver. If dementia has touched your family, this conversation offers hope that there is a kinder, steadier way through it.
A podcast for women who have built good lives on paper but want to feel calmer, lighter, and more present.
