Are you worried that your forgetfulness—or a loved one's—might be more than just a "senior moment"? Join us for a powerful conversation with world-renowned Dementia expert Teepa Snow.
About This Episode:
In Part 1 of this special two-part series, the hosts of Living Our Best with Memory Loss (who are living with their own diagnoses) sit down with Teepa Snow to discuss the shift from fear to empowerment. Teepa explains why we need to treat brain health like any other vital sign and how the "Quarterback" method ensures the person experiencing cognitive change stays in control of their life.
In this video, you will learn:
The Cognitive Baseline: Why you shouldn't wait for a crisis to check your "thinking" health.
Screening vs. Reality: Why current medical tests often miss the mark for early-stage brain change.
The Quarterback Method: How to build a support team where YOU are the leader, not the "football" being passed around.
Reducing Stigma: Moving past the "shame" of cognitive decline to find practical solutions.
When to See a Doctor: Identifying the difference between stress-related lapses and true neurodegeneration.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
