    OPEN MIC Exposes The Truth About Repetitive Phone Calls & A Solution

    OPEN MIC  Exposes The Truth About Repetitive Phone Calls & A Solution Today, Kirstin Thomas, Co-founder of KindredMind, joins our host, Lori La Bey, to share their new technology leveraging AI to reduce caregiver stress and increase the comfort of a person living with dementia. If you are caring for a loved one living with dementia, you most likely have dealt with repetitive behavior at one time or another. Repeated phone calls are one of the things we hear from families constantly, which causes them great stress and guilt. Not having the time to answer and respond to a loved one’s calls or not knowing how to calm them down and remove the anxiety they are feeling over what they keep asking over and over again. Well, it just gets overwhelming. Yet what we don’t discuss much is what’s behind the need for these repetitive calls. Today, Kirstin will give us some great insights as to the “whys” and a solution, KindredMind, that she created due to her own experience caring for her mother, who would sometimes call her 10 times before lunch.

  3. Awakenings In Real Life with Dan Cohen

    5月7日

    Awakenings In Real Life with Dan Cohen

    Awakenings In Real Life with Dan Cohen #Awakenings #ClaritywithDementia #Lucidity  Lori La Bey talks with Dan Cohen, a dynamic entrepreneur with over twenty-five years of experience and a deep passion for brand building. Dan is recognized for his strategic approach and ability to foster strong, lasting relationships. With the release of his book, Awakenings In Real Life, he tells the story of his dad’s awakening from his dementia. When his father awoke, it woke Dan up too. Dan also hosts a podcast with the same name. After Dan’s family experienced his dad's awakening from dementia in 2015, Dan felt that he had to share this experience with the world. Dan quickly posted an article that has been read by hundreds of thousands of families and caregivers who were dealing with Alzheimer's / Dementia and searching for hope. Dan’s father passed away in 2016, but his awakening stayed with him. It became the spark that ignited his own awakening, which turned into the book “Awakenings In Real Life”. In the book, Dan draws on a lifetime of lessons from his father’s humor, toughness, and compassion, sharing family stories of love, inspiration, and hope. Dan started the “Awakenings In Real Life” podcast, which tells inspiring stories of transformation, meaning, and hope. While people typically think of an Awakening as a “Getting Up” or “Spiritual” or “Religious” in nature, an “Awakening” is also an awareness, recognition, or realization of something. Dan Cohen shares stories of people awakening and then triumphing over bullying, addiction, disability, illness, trauma, loss, near-death experiences, and more. Learn: Dan describes an awakening. How long did Dan’s Dad's awakening last? Did Dan’s Father share any messages while he was awake? What was Dan’s role in caring for his dad? What did Dan learn during this caring experience? Why did Dan write the book Awakenings In Real Life? What is the book about? Why did Dan start a podcast, and what is it about?

    Crisis, Grief, & Comfort on OPEN MIC

    Crisis, Grief, & Comfort on OPEN MIC Today, Caroline Shelby from Grief Clarity Labs joins our host, Lori La Bey. Caroline dives into the effects of grieving a parent while still caring for them. Caroline cared for her mother through Alzheimer’s for 15 years, and what stayed with her the most wasn’t just the progression of the disease, but how much of the grief happened while her mother was still alive. Quietly, and often without language. Her journey caring for her mother now informs her work as a grief educator, where she supports caregivers in understanding what they are carrying in real time, mentally, emotionally, and in their daily decision-making. The ladies discuss: Anticipatory grief and what it actually looks like during caregiving The invisible mental load caregivers carry day to day How to respond when roles begin to reverse The emotional complexity that often goes unspoken (including anger, guilt, and relief)   Contact Caroline Shelby at: www.griefclaritylabs.com Caroline’s Book: Living Beside the Leaving  coming May of 2026   You are invited to join us on future shows Share Your Story, Service, Product, or Tool on Alzheimer’s Speaks Open Mic Join Alzheimer's Speaks podcast in the future for Open Mic as we shift dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world, one episode at a time.  We love raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites!  So, we invite you to tell us how you are improving dementia care.
