Speaking & Awareness
Speaking
Walking With Dementia offers dementia-at-home awareness through storytelling, talks, videos, and lived experience.
This work is for families, community groups, care teams, faith groups, and anyone who wants to understand dementia beyond the diagnosis.
My focus is not on complicated clinical language.
My focus is real home life.
The repeated questions.
The changes in mood.
The family guilt.
The confusion around routines.
The pressure on caregivers.
The small moments that can either calm the room or make everything harder.
Through Walking With Dementia, I speak about what dementia care can look like inside ordinary homes — and how families can begin to respond differently.
We cannot change the person living with dementia.
But we can change how we approach them.
We can change our tone.
We can change the pace.
We can change the environment.
We can change the pressure we bring into the room.
And sometimes, that small shift can make home life feel more manageable.
