🎙️ Happy - Our guest on this episode is none other than our very own CB Wismar, a Renaissance man but that’s not what he spoke with us about. No, in this episode he got very personal and candid and spoke about something so personal... 🎙️ 🎧

It takes a particular kind of moxie to show up every day for someone you love, while watching them decline and diminish, and your life takes on new responsibilities and roles.

CB and his wife, Kathy Wismar, were living a full life on their family farm in rural Northwest Connecticut — she painting and throwing ceramics, he writing and producing, both of them deep into a rich second act after raising two thriving kids and tag-teaming their way through over five decades of marriage. Then Kathy received a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, and everything changed. CB became her full-time caregiver, joining the 63 million Americans navigating that same unexpected role in 2025.

In this episode, CB talks about what he calls caregiving moxie — the quiet courage it takes to get up each morning and do hard things out of love, partnership, and loyalty. He shares what he’s learned about leaning on family, friends, and healthcare professionals, sitting with a wide range of emotions, and trying to make sense of a chapter neither of them planned for.

🎙️ The next episode of season 5 drops on - any idea who our guest might be?🎙️

Our guest is a bit of a Renaissance Man. His life has been filled with many lifetimes worth of experiences that run the gamut. None of them fully prepared him for what would come knocking on his door in his and his wife’s early retirements. He quickly learned that it takes a particular kind of moxie to show up every day for someone you love, while watching them decline and diminish, and your life takes on new responsibilities and roles.

Any guesses as to who she might be? 👀
