#135: Navigating Life's Unexpected Turns with Amy
LISTEN NOW
Welcome back to The Commons with Karla. In this episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with Amy Riley, who graciously shares her poignant journey of caring for her mother during the challenging final stages of Lewy Body Dementia. As Amy navigates this difficult path, she also manages to fulfill her roles as a wife, mother, volunteer, writer, and marketing professional. Through her story, we discover the profound ways unexpected challenges can reshape our lives and prompt personal growth. Amy's experiences remind us to seek beauty amidst adversity and to reflect on our own journeys of resilience and adaptation. Our conversation explores the complexities of caregiving and the transformative power of facing life's challenges head-on. I hope this episode will give you the strength and confidence to navigate any unexpected turns you are currently facing in your life.
