Next Episode

What's it like living with dementia?

This is a very special episode where Melissa talks with Dr. Barbra Lipska, author of "The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind." Dr. Lipska is that neuroscientist. She was gracious enough to explain her journey with brain cancer and what it felt like to have resulting cognitive changes. While Dr. Lipska was not diagnosed with dementia per se, you will gain beautiful, valuable insight into what your loved one may feel like and how they experience the world. There is power in seeing from the perspective of another person.
