    Two-Dinner Territory: A Cautionary Tale
    Jul 20 2025

    What’s this? A second dinner request?

    We’re talking about what to do when your loved one forgets the lovingly (and painstakingly) large amount of care they’re getting 24/7. If you figure it out, let us know. In this episode, we’re venting and laughing through the latest mama drama and sharing a quick update on our Big Hometown Project as we (hopefully) near the finish line.

    Special Mini Ep: A Lil' 7th-Inning Stretch feat. Gloria!
    Jul 5 2025

    We’re in the studio cooking up Episode 8, but right now we’re taking a lil’ 7th inning stretch, because sometimes your brain needs a breather before it hits the next pitch.

    Thanks for hanging with us while we stretch, hydrate, and avoid the metaphorical pulled hamstring. In the meantime, we're serving up a dish today featuring the one and only Gloria herself! Hear her regale us with a story about playing a game in her "volunteer" group, a.k.a. adult day care, with other dementia participants.

    Back soon, peeps!

    Lovely Lavender, Orange Sherbet, and a Happy Donkey
    Jun 28 2025
    Kelly & Suzanne are back in the ol' hometown for some final cleanout and trauma time — junk taken to the dump, emotions still lingering. A lavender farm brings a soft close to a hard day and the sisters plan/dread an upcoming weekend of multi-appointment cleanout and a mess of logistics that has them spinning. Meanwhile, Gloria’s oblivious, looking cute and eating orange sherbet. If she only knew she'd "kill us dead!"

    Azaleas. Camellias. Dogwood. Holly. Tulips. Lillies. In this episode of Dementia Unfiltered, Kelly and Suzanne discuss the poetry of the beautiful things that have been woven into their lives, both inside and outside their family home. They also ask the same question Mama keeps asking: How did we get here? From channeling Marie Kondo in the art of letting go to screaming at the 'Dump Nazi' at the 'OCD Dump,' this caregiving duo is coping with an emotional rollercoaster of a summer/year.
