This episode is focused on a topic that does NOT get enough attention: chronic pain. A 2022 study published in the journal Pain found that 50.2 million adults in the U.S. (that’s over 20% of us) reported pain on most days or every day… that makes it one of the most common chronic health conditions in America. Let’s rip the band-aid off! I’m joined by one of my favorite advocates for this important discussion… Barby Ingle from the International Pain Foundation.

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is a younger-onset form of dementia often mistaken for Alzheimer's disease. Join me and my guests Sharon Hall and Amy Johnson for a candid discussion about their life-changing journeys having spouses diagnosed with this common form of dementia. Their stories will inspire you!

You don’t know the whole story about mental illness until you’ve heard it from a mother’s perspective. Sydney Graham of Families for Addiction Recovery (Canada), and Lindsey Hoggle, a Health IT Consultant, share their stories as mothers who have struggled for decades to get mental health services for their adult children -- in American and Canadian healthcare and social services systems that were never designed to support mental health. Their revelations will shock you.
