How do you deal with a parent’s declining health?

At a young age Kate had to deal with the fear around her mothers early on set dementia. Trying to navigate her way through this and understand her own feelings threw up a lot of issues and was extremely challenging. Watching her mothers steady decline over the years constantly worrying about whether her mother had forgotten to do something that was important led Kate and her sisters to suffer from anxiety and depression later in life. As a result of this she developed strategies to cope with all that life threw at her.

This was a fascinating conversation about life and how to face your challenges which can be extreme at times. We talked about relationships, the significance of a strong paternal figure, lack of confidence and owning your shit! We delve into “emotional connection” and the ability to truly understand people, their feelings and navigating your way through this. I truly hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
