Hosted by broadcaster Teri Hart, the show explores the emotional, financial, and practical challenges caregivers face, from navigating dementia and Alzheimer’s to making long term care decisions, managing caregiver burnout, and handling complex family dynamics. It also makes space for the unexpected moments of connection, resilience, and even beauty that can emerge through caregiving. Through honest conversations with medical experts, policymakers, advocates, and well known Canadians including The Honourable Marci Ien and Cheryl Hickey, Teri brings both practical tools and emotional reassurance to those supporting someone they love. Whether you are a part of the sandwich generation balancing work and caregiving, adjusting to a new diagnosis, or walking alongside someone in their later years, The Hart of It All is for you. Caregiving asks a lot of us. It can stretch us, change us, and deepen us. And when we talk about it honestly, we remember that we're not alone. Hosted on Acast.

In this first episode, Cathy helps cut through fear and misconceptions to focus on what really matters early on, including why getting a clear diagnosis is so important, what “respite” actually looks like in real life, and how caregivers can communicate through repetition, confusion, and behaviour changes. Listeners will come away with a better understanding of early warning signs, practical ways to support brain health, and where to turn for trusted support at any stage of the journey. If this diagnosis is touching your life, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and a reminder that you don’t have to navigate it alone.
