In this episode of The Good We Do Podcast, hosts Philicia Baugh and Jason Noble sit down with Xylina, a Certified Dementia Practitioner, entertainer, author, and founder of Boss Frog, to discuss how one simple puppet is changing lives across generations.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• The heartfelt story that inspired Boss Frog
• How puppet therapy helps stimulate memories and meaningful conversations for those living with Alzheimer's and dementia
• Why children are often the forgotten caregivers, and how education helps them better understand what's happening to loved ones
• The powerful role storytelling plays in healing families
• How intergenerational programs strengthen the bond between grandparents and grandchildren
• Why preserving family recipes, memories, and stories creates a lasting legacy
• How Rotary and community organizations can partner to raise awareness and support Alzheimer's education and research
Xylina's mission is simple but powerful: make difficult conversations easier, replace fear with understanding, and give families practical tools to navigate dementia together.
If you have a loved one living with Alzheimer's or dementia, or know someone who does, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
