    From caring for her mom with frontotemporal dementia, to creating a film and advocating to normalize the caregiving experience, with Katie Prentiss (Episode 121)

    After being thrust into the world of caregiving and caring for her mom with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Katie Prentiss saw the need to share the caregiver experience with others, both those who could relate or those who did not understand and could learn.  With her upcoming feature film, Wake up Maggie, Katie has made it her mission to bring caregiving to the forefront, inspiring other caregivers and raising awareness about the realities of caring for someone with FTD. About Katie Prentiss:  Two years after losing her mom to dementia at a young age, Katie began a career in acting with her role as Denise on Sophie Jones. Acting immediately became her passion and seemed to be the perfect culmination of her previous chapters in life - from English major, to mother, to portrait photographer, Katie has lived stories and loved people. Katie is most known for her roles as Beth in Winter Island and Sadie in Going Home, seasons 1 & 2. Her award winning films include Front Porches (2020 | Best Oregon Film, Best Actress) and a web series called Gamer (2022/2023 | Best of Oregon, Best micro short). She is currently working on her first feature film called Wake Up Maggie which is a love letter to her mom.  Find Katie and learn more about Wake Up Maggie: https://www.katieprentiss.com/wake-up-maggie Find Katie on Instagram: @katieprentiss  Visit us on our website to see all that we offer for caregiver support: www.compassionincaregiving.com For more visit our Instagram! http://www.instagram.com/compassionincaregiving
