Send Ken a Text Message about the Podcast

Earlier this week marked the three-year anniversary of moving Shanna into memory care, Ken delves into his early caregiving days, his struggles with acceptance and understanding, and how his interactions and approaches to Shanna's care evolved through faith-based life coaching and self-discovery. He emphasizes the importance of self-change, acknowledging irrational emotions without argument, and fostering joy amidst hardships. Ken advocates for seeking support through coaching, counseling, or confiding in trusted friends or religious leaders to navigate the challenging journey of caregiving for loved ones with Alzheimer's or dementia.
