We Need to Talk About Ageing - Uncut with Melissa Levi

Hi Lifers,

Today is an episode really close to Laura's heart. It's an episode she has wanted to do for a long time.
Initially we thought this was going to be a chat about dementia, but it ended up being so much more than just a focus on dementia. This episode is important for anyone who has a loved one that will hopefully be lucky enough to grow old.
Melissa Levi is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience.

She is also the author of "We need to talk about ageing."

If you have a loved one that is ageing, you need to listen to this conversation!
We chat about ageing:

-How to approach conversations with loved ones about changes you've noticed in their behaviour or memory

-The importance of knowing what they want out of their life as they age

-Navigating other family members to work together for the wishes of your loved person

-End of life conversations


We also chat about dementia:

-What it is and all of the different types

-How we can try to prevent dementia

-Whether it's actually worth making effort to spend time with loved ones who will likely not remember the experience

-Bringing joy into the lives of loved ones with dementia


If you'd like to check out any of the free resources that Melissa collated you can find them here!


Melissa's book "We need to talk about ageing" can be found here!
