Facing Dementia: A New Monthly Conversation with Laurin Wittig

August 30, 2025

Dementia touches millions of lives, yet it remains one of the most difficult conversations to have. Too often it is surrounded by silence, fear, and stigma. In my new monthly podcast series, Facing Dementia, I join Laurin Wittig — intuitive mentor, podcaster, and award-winning author — as she shares her journey after being diagnosed with the precursors to dementia. Together, we explore the science, the emotional impact, and the holistic practices that can bring empowerment, self-care, and hope to the aging process. These conversations are about more than illness — they are about reclaiming wisdom, changing family patterns, and shining a light on how we can age with awareness and grace.
