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!

Welcome back, beautiful souls. This is Part 2 of our heartfelt and inspiring conversation with Jane Wolf Frances, psychotherapist, author of “Parenting Our Parents: Transforming the Challenge Into a Journey of Love,” and creator of the global POP Coaching Program.
In this episode, we go deeper into family dynamics, and how to co-create your caregiving dream team, no matter how complicated things feel right now. We talk about spousal caregivers, long-distance support, and why finding your strengths (and your people!) can change the whole journey. Plus: how music and forgiveness can become soul-level medicine—for your loved one and for you.
This is a masterclass in intentional caregiving, family healing, and finding peace in the mess!
This one’s for every caregiver, and every soul supporting a caregiver.
In this episode we chat:
- How to build your POP Team & assign roles based on natural strengths
- When it’s time for each team member to ask: “How would I like this to go?”
- The power of forgiveness as freedom
- Music is medicine! Why music awakens memory—even in advanced dementia
- How to move from sacrifice to choice with the words: “I choose to…”
- And ways that might help to get your family on the same page, even when it feels impossible
