Show by Cressida and Isabella
🌸 Cressida and Isabella are joined by Glenna Hecht, HR entrepreneur and author of the book How Old Are You Today?.🌸 Glenna reflects on what she calls ‘a dementia love story’ with her mother - recounting the closeness they shared during childhood, to the strain that developed over time, and finally, life after her mother’s dementia diagnosis. She talks about the day responsibility came knocking at her door - the day her mother went missing - and how she went from having to take care of her mother to loving it. We hear about the remarkable game Glenna came up with which opened up the door to her mother’s memories. Plus, she shares with us the five lessons her mother lived by. 🌸 Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they've carried forward, those they've left behind, and the profound impact maternal figures have had throughout their lives.🎙️ An OG Podcasts production.
