Ready or Not...Someone has to Adult

In this unscripted…uncensored…unapologetic episode, I draw a parallel between a child custody case I investigated — one where three children ages 4, 6 and 8 were left alone without supervision, without an adult — and the devastating reality faced by families navigating Alzheimer’s. Just like those kids, a person living with ALZ is vulnerable, confused, and in need of someone to step up. And that someone... is us. Being the adult isn’t always easy. It’s messy, exhausting, and thankless — but it’s necessary. I talk about the emotional weight of adulting for someone with Alzheimer’s, how it flips the roles we once knew, and why showing up matters more than ever. This is your reminder that while caregiving is brutal at times... you're not in it alone. The ALZ journey doesn’t have a roadmap — but together, we’re figuring it out. One tough conversation at a time.
