Podcast 1271: Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s: Its Secret Faces — Understanding Dementia with Compassion and Clarity

In this deeply insightful conversation, host Greg Voisen sits down with Lisa Skinner, behavioral specialist and author of Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s: Its Secret Faces, to explore the emotional and practical realities of caring for loved ones with dementia. Drawing on over three decades of experience and her own personal journey with eight family members affected by the disease, Lisa reveals how shifting our mindset from correction to connection can transform the caregiving experience.
