About this listen

We thought we were simply taking Mom out for a celebratory family dinner. Instead, we witnessed the first unmistakable signs that something deeper was happening — anxiety, confusion, whispering, and changes in how she ate. In Episode 3 of This Is Your Brain on Mom, a real-life dementia caregiving podcast, siblings Wendy and Barry share the night they realized their mom’s recovery wasn’t just about a broken ankle. From early signs of dementia and behavioral changes in Alzheimer’s to navigating the healthcare systemand questioning whether it was a UTI, delirium, or cognitive decline, this episode dives into the uncertainty caregivers face when a loved one begins to change. With a mix of honesty, humor, and sibling banter, we talk about how it feels to care for a parent while holding on to hope — and how grief begins long before a diagnosis. If you’re supporting a parent or loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia, wondering about early warning signs, or looking for real talk about family caregiving, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen to Episode 3 now and join the conversation. About This is Your Brain on Mom: This Is Your Brain on Mom is a podcast where sibling co-hosts share the unexpected beginning of their mom’s dementia journey — a story that started with a broken ankle, not memory loss. Candid, emotional, and often funny, it’s a real-life look at caregiving, dementia vs. Alzheimer’s, and the bond that forms when siblings team up to care for a parent.
