Becoming with Dr. Dad: Navigating Memory, Meaning & Alzheimer's

This one is personal. In this episode of Fearlessly Becoming, I sit down with someone who shaped my story long before I ever had the words to tell it — my dad, Dr. Deryl.

A former professor and lifelong learner, my dad was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s a few years ago. This conversation is a tender, unscripted look at how he’s processing the changes, what he's still discovering about life, and the moments that still bring meaning, laughter, and clarity.

It’s not polished or linear — but neither is grief, memory, or becoming. We talk about what it means to let go of certain versions of ourselves while holding onto the core of who we are.

If you’ve walked alongside a loved one through memory loss, or you’re just navigating how to stay grounded when the people you love begin to change — this episode will meet you there.

It’s a slower pace. A gentler rhythm. A deeply human story.
