  • Caregiver to Murder Suspect, with Rachel Waters
    Apr 14 2026

    In this VERY special CGS, Jennifer and Steve talk with Rachel Waters, a caregiver who rushed to her mother's side to be with her during her last days ... and was later charged with her mother's murder. Note that this episode is significantly longer than our typical shows, but it's worth it to hear Rachel's story and what she's doing to try to ensure it's not repeated.

    Mar 3 2026

    In this all new CGS, Steve and Jennifer give their takes on a Substack article with advice on what to do in the first 90 days after your loved one receives a dementia diagnosis.

    NOTE: We had a little weirdness with our recording setup this time around. Steve is working to try to figure out what's going on, but as a result our sound quality is slightly below what we're used to.
