Hey listeners,
In this episode Judy and I discuss the coming of spring, and my challenges with feeling like "there's someone with PD living in my house, but that isn't me." We also discuss what I do when I've got a large rock that I need to move.

What if the silent heroes of Parkinson's care aren't the patients themselves but the dedicated partners standing beside them? Join us as we uncover the vital, yet often overshadowed, role of care partners in navigating the Parkinson's journey. Hosts Travis Robinson and Judy Yarris, bring our personal experiences to light, highlighting the emotional and physical hurdles faced by those supporting someone with Parkinson's. Our conversation delves into the reality of denial in newly diagnosed individuals and how this can ripple through their support networks, emphasizing the imperative need for community support and the unsung resources that can make all the difference.
We also explore the evolving landscape of independence, where modern transportation options like Uber and Waymo are reshaping the dynamics of care. The episode sheds light on the importance of self-care and open communication for care partners, especially in a world still reeling from the isolation of the COVID era. Through personal stories, we touch on the unique challenges faced by families dealing with young-onset Parkinson's, offering a message of strength and unity. By sharing both struggles and triumphs, we aim to foster a sense of community and inspire listeners to connect, support, and empower each other through the Parkinson's journey.
