In this episode, we break down the basics in plain English — from the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s, to why dementia affects far more than just memory. We explore what’s happening inside the brain, how different diseases cause dementia, and why symptoms can show up in thinking, behaviour, movement, and everyday life.

You’ll learn why dementia isn’t a normal part of ageing, what “probable” diagnoses really mean, and how understanding the condition helps us provide better care, support, and compassion.

Whether you’re supporting someone with dementia or simply want to learn more, this is the perfect place to start.

We also dive into why embracing a little discomfort may be one of the most powerful tools for building resilience, protecting cognitive health, and staying mentally sharp as we age.
