Once in a GREAT while, you read something and the author seems to be speaking directly to your heart. Like an old friend. That's what happened when I read a powerful missive Robert Pardi posted on LinkedIn. After that, I was hooked! I did a deep dive and, OMG, everything he shares about Caregiving and living your best life is incredibly astute and profoundly resonates with me. I am thrilled to have him as our guest and share his beautiful story that led to him being the dynamic leader in the Caregiving community that he is today.
In Episode 48, Don and I spoke with the wildly passionate and perceptive Robert Pardi and found him so engaging, we didn't evening realize the sun had begun to set! Robert, born in NYC, is one of those rare individuals who embraces change and lives what he calls “possibility in action” – taking his desire for transformation and putting it into action daily. He received his MBA from Columbia University and was quickly recruited by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds. Shortly after, his wife Desiree, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. Unfortunately, she passed 11 years later. After, throwing caution to the wind, Robert leapt from his comfort zone. He changed careers and moved to the same Italian village his great grandfather immigrated from over 100 years ago. He is now a certified life coach, adjunct professor, international guest speaker, and the Author of Chasing Life - The remarkable true story of love, joy, and achievement against all odds.

THIAGO DADALT & KIRK MOODY: "WHERE IS NANCY?" - A First-Hand Account on the Realities of Wandering
Wander (verb) - To walk or move in an aimless way.
Wandering is an all-too-common behavior amongst people with dementia, Autism spectrum disorder, and Down syndrome, and are a huge fear for those concerned for their safety and well-being. A person's failing memory and declining ability to communicate can make it impossible for them to remember or explain the reason they wandered.
In episode 47, Don and I had the honor of speaking with retired Manager, Systems Engineer, *Kirk Moody, and filmmaker, *Thiago Didalt. Kirk's wife was a brilliant aerospace engineer and entrepreneur, top of her class at the USC/Davis and highly respected across the industry, Nancy Paulikas, 55, was tragically diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In 2016, she left to use the restroom at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), never to be seen again.
Kirk led a relentless two-year search that helped to uncover the gaps in the USA's social and health systems and bring about systemic change across L.A. County by forming LA FOUND, an organization that helps caregivers of those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, or other cognitive impairments locate their missing loved ones.

Filmmaker, Thiago Dadalt, made the fictionalized Oscar’s qualified short film, “Chocolate”, about a middle-age housewife with early onset Alzheimer’s disease who goes missing in downtown Los Angeles. Ironically, the film led him to direct the documentary about a family’s very real struggle to find missing housewife Nancy Paulikas. “Where is Nancy?” is currently making the rounds on the film festival circuit where it is gaining high praise and awards.

Globetrotters ANTHONY COPELAND-PARKER and CATHERINE ELIZABETH POPP: Navigating Alzheimer’s While Running Marathons Around the World
Earlier in the year, (Episode 38), Don and I had an absolutely inspirational conversation with ANTHONY COPELAND PARKER. In 2014, Tony, and his partner, Catherine (Cat) Elizabeth Popp, were in their 50’s when they found out that he needed a heart-valve replacement, and she had early-onset Alzheimer’s. But even though their life had was about to change forever, they were not about to let it stop them from chasing their dreams. With a shared passion for traveling and histories as endurance athletes, their reaction to the news was to retire from their jobs, sell their home, and become nomads, running marathons and half-marathons all over the world.
Since then, the duo has traveled to 82 countries and run marathons and half-marathons in thirty-five countries, on all seven continents.
Tony’s new memoir - Running All Over the World: Our Race Against Early-Onset Alzheimer’s - tells their story.
In Episode 49, both the author, Tony, and his partner, Cat, join Love Conquers Alz for a uplifting conversation about the book which includes traveling, marathons, and living their best lives... despite Cat’s Early Onset diagnosis.
Tony is committed to being Cat’s caregiver 24/7 and it is beautiful watching how great they are together. He shares that the book came directly from his blog, runningwithcat.com, that he began writing when he and Cat started traveling about seven years ago. Initially he was doing it to record memories for both of them, but them he decided he wanted to inspire others to look at the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s a little bit differently ... and turned the blog into a book that combines their passion for running, travel, and each other.
