  • One Cake, Two Caregivers, and a Criminal

    One Cake, Two Caregivers, and a Criminal
    May 31 2025
    This week’s episode is full of surprises. Some funny, some frustrating, some just plain hard. There’s a beautiful birthday celebration, full of love but also memory gaps. Kelly shares what it was like to attend an Alzheimer’s conference and feel truly seen as a caregiver. We also dig into the news about a new Alzheimer’s blood test and the emotional toll of caring for a parent and a dying pet at the same time. We’re talking about the strange, tender, and often absurd experience of loving someone through dementia. Also: Kelly’s psych NP turned out to be a literal criminal. Yes, really.

    Don't Lie. Did You Eat Her Candy?
    May 24 2025
    This week, we’re covering everything from Gloria’s candy stash conspiracy theories to why she’s suddenly Amelia Earhart-ing through Google. We talk about the weird clarity of dementia (she always knows when it’s Tuesday) and the moments that knock us flat, like grief and that ever-lurking fear of early-onset Alzheimer’s. Bring snacks (and guard them).

  • Oh Joy, Gloria’s First Ambulance!

    Oh Joy, Gloria’s First Ambulance!
    May 10 2025
    Kelly and Suzanne are back with another season of mama drama and more, kicking off the first episode of season two with plenty of food, including Gloria’s missing fries, for thought. The sisters unpack the realities of packing up the house and divulge the deets on a reluctant ambulance ride, the first of Gloria’s dementia era. 2025’s ER visit count is already too high for this dynamite but over-it caregiving duo. Welcome back, babies, we’ve got this (or do we?!).

    Season Finale: A Mess of a Meds Mixup
    Apr 19 2025
    On this season finale, Suzanne and Kelly catch up after a wild week with Gloria, including an epic (but not catastrophic) meds mixup (Help me, Rhonda!) and some truly unhinged Google searches (yes, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt both make appearances). As always, the laughs come with a side of honesty about what it's really like to care for someone living with dementia.

  • How We Got Custody of Gloria

    How We Got Custody of Gloria
    Apr 12 2025

    It’s been two years since everything changed—Gloria’s fall marked the moment Kelly and Suzanne stopped tiptoeing around tough decisions and stepped head first into the role of caregivers. In this episode, they finally share the story they’ve hinted at since the beginning: It started with a birthday visit and ended with their first ER visit as a family (awww!) and a one-way trip to Charleston.

  • The 86 List: We're Down One Bob Ross

    The 86 List: We're Down One Bob Ross
    Apr 5 2025

    In this episode of Dementia Unfiltered, Kelly and Suzanne are back with a fresh batch of chaos and caregiving gold. From Mama’s Google searches (“Why is George Clooney so famous?”) to her cutting one-liners (“I hate you both”), it’s another week of wild rides and real emotions.


    They share a new biopsy update, swap mama survival stories, and laugh their way through an old-school incident involving gas—of the car kind. Plus, Mama’s giving side-eye that could cut glass, and the sisters had to 86 Bob Ross. (Sorry, Bob.)


    Because dementia doesn’t slow down, and neither do we. #YouveGotThis
