How to Communicate Effectively with a Loved One Who Has Dementia With Ludie Hansen

Welcome to the Faith & Family Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to communicate, connect, and reduce stress while caring for a loved one with dementia.When Ludie Hansen’s daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, her life shifted dramatically. In that same season, she lost her long-held professional role and faced the compounded grief of losing both parents within sixteen days of one another. Through personal hardship, caregiving, and deep reflection, Ludie rediscovered a calling that had always been at the heart of her work—serving families navigating dementia.With over three decades as a speech-language pathologist specializing in adults with brain changes, Ludie brings both clinical expertise and lived compassion to the caregiving journey. She has educated communities on dementia progression, trained caregivers to improve communication and reduce frustration, and guided families in understanding the difference between typical aging and warning signs of cognitive decline.Through her platform, Ludie’s Revival, she mentors caregivers to create meaningful interactions, reduce stress, and prioritize sustainable self-care—so they can support their loved ones with dignity without losing themselves in the process.Ludie believes revival is possible—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Her message centers on resilience, faith, and the truth that caregivers deserve care too. She speaks with warmth, wisdom, and practical insight, equipping audiences with tools they can apply immediately while leaving them feeling seen, supported, and strengthened..Connect with Ludie Here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ludie-hansen-4093b8322https://www.facebook.com/ludie.hansen.9https://ludiesrevival.comGrab the freebie here: Join Ludie’s private Facebook group: Dementia Caregiving Revived, Where she reposts information that has resonated with her.
