Floating alone on a life raft…that’s how my mum’s FTD diagnosis felt at the start. 🥺

In this clip from my conversation on the Your Brain on Mom podcast, I share the loneliness and isolation that came with those early days and why finding connection became so important to me. Nobody should have to go through something like this alone. 🫂

That’s ultimately why I created my podcast: to find community, to share stories, and to remind others they’re not drifting out there by themselves.

It was such a powerful conversation with Wendy and Barry - thank you both so much for having me on 🤍

Happy Easter 🐣💛

Today looks a little different for us. The big home-cooked meals have been swapped for a buffet, and honestly…an M&S sandwich platter saves the day. 🙏

If your Easter feels different this year too, whether that’s through loss, change, or life just looking a bit unfamiliar - I’m sending you so much love and a big, warm hug. 🫂

You’re not alone 🤍

We’re not wishing you a “happy” new year - we’re wishing you what you need in 2026🫶✨

Please take what feels right in to the New Year 🤍

“Why aren’t Admiral Nurses shouted about from the high heavens?!”

If you remember nothing else after a dementia diagnosis, remember this ⬇️

👉 Admiral Nurses are there for families too

👉 You don’t need to have everything (or anything) figured out

👉 You can even call before a formal diagnosis

So many families are left feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone - when this support exists. We need to talk about it louder.

📢 Please share this so more people know

After a dementia diagnosis, families are often told to ‘go and get their affairs in order’ and then left to cope alone. 💔

But the emotional impact is huge - you’re in no headspace for practical decisions. In this clip, me & Natalie talk about why follow-up support is essential, and how a simple check-in weeks later could change everything. ✨

Navigating Christmas alongside dementia isn’t easy. I’m learning to drop the pressure and make room for how I actually feel. If this season feels tough for you too, I’m sending love. 🤍🫶
