Hi, I'm Carlyn

As the founder of A Better Way- Dementia Care Solutions, I've spent years walking alongside families navigating the unpredictable terrain of dementia. Through my signature framework, I teach caregivers how to decode behavior as communication, transforming frustration into connection.

This dementia podcast is where I bring the conversations, the stories, and the expert voices right to your ears, because you deserve better tools, better support, and a better way to care for a loved one with dementia.
