Dancing With Dementia™
Dancing With Dementia™
Podcast Description
Being a Caregiver has its challenges, especially for young Caregivers. I started caring for my mom when I was in my early 30's, when she was diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia. I found it challenging to find support and education geared toward younger Caregivers. Inspired by my own experience and the shared experiences of so many other young Caregivers, this podcast is here to provide tips, tricks, tools, resources, and community for this new generation of Caregivers. Our goal is to support all Caregivers, as we infuse love, light, joy, and levity into the Caregiver Dance!

What if the antidote to caregiver burnout isn’t doing more, but is thinking differently?
In this two-part series, Dr. Andre Walton, PhD, a globally recognized thought leader, transformational coach, and expert in creativity, innovation, and burnout recovery, joins host Kama Newbry, RN, NC-BC for a deep dive into the art, science and soul of creative thinking as the key to healing burnout.
A physicist, social psychology wizard, and entrepreneur turned coach, professor, best-selling author and TEDx speaker, Dr. Walton has decades of experience bridging neuroscience, organizational psychology, and human potential. They explore how stress constricts creative thought, why the brain “seizes and freezes,” and how to open the mind’s kaleidoscope of possibility.
Through stories, science, and soulful wisdom, Dr. Andre offers practical ways to retrain your brain, restore your energy, and reignite curiosity, so you can bring creativity and compassion back into caregiving, leadership, and life itself.
