About This Podcast

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia, the questions come fast, and figuring out what comes next can feel confusing, overwhelming, and isolating. I created Dementia Unravelled so you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Lyndal Harris, a Dementia Doula, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy facilitator, and founder of Compassionate Transitions. I share what I'm learning through working with individuals living with dementia and their families, my ongoing studies, and conversations with my peers. I also bring my own lived experience as dementia runs in my family, and this is the information I wish I'd had earlier. My goal is simple - to help you feel more informed, more prepared, and a little less alone. Whether you're supporting a loved one, navigating a recent diagnosis, or simply want to understand more about brain health, this podcast is for you. New episodes drop weekly.
