Age Compass
I learned about ageing and dementia the hard way; caring for my mum after her dementia diagnosis and losing both my parents far too young. It literally changed the direction of my life. I went on to study dementia at university and built a career walking alongside people living with the diagnosis.
This podcast is my way of sharing the things I wish someone had told me.
Bite‑size, light-hearted episodes to give you the right information, support and honest conversations so you don’t have to learn it the hard way too.
I want to make this journey together lighter, kinder, and far less confusing.
I’ve lived it, studied it, and now work in it. And I want us to navigate ageing and dementia together, so you know you’re not alone.

An intro into why I care so much about ageing and dementia. Losing both parents in their early 70s pushed me to study dementia and eventually work in the field. I figured everything out the hard way first, so now I’m here to make it easier for you.
