If you’ve ever left a doctor’s appointment wondering what was said—or wished your siblings understood how much you’re doing—this conversation is a must-listen.

In episode 112, Susie and Don sit down with Crystal Gallo, founder of innerhive—a groundbreaking app using AI to help caregivers capture, organize, and share vital information while staying present for the people they love.

From preventing burnout to improving family communication, Crystal shares how Innerhive was born from her own caregiving experience and designed to bring clarity and connection to one of life’s most chaotic and emotional journeys. Together, they explore how technology can enhance humanity—not replace it—and why wellness, empathy, and smarter tools are key to transforming the caregiving experience.

In this powerful episode of Love Conquers Alz, Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess sit down with Neal K. Shah, visionary founder and CEO of CareYaya, a groundbreaking platform that connects families with compassionate, college-educated student caregivers. Neal shares how his personal caregiving journey inspired him to reimagine elder care, creating affordable, dignified, and deeply human support that benefits both older adults and the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Together, they explore the urgent need to bridge generational divides, destigmatize dementia, and cultivate empathy in future doctors and nurses by immersing them in real-life caregiving experiences.

Neal also opens up about his new book, "Insured to Death", which takes aim at the rising crisis of AI-driven healthcare claim denials and the devastating toll they take on patients and families.

From stories of students forming life-changing bonds with people living with dementia, to hard truths about our broken long-term care and insurance systems, this conversation is both eye-opening and hopeful. It’s a reminder that caregiving—when rooted in love, purpose, and community—has the power to transform lives.

This episode launches Season 10 of Love Conquers Alz 🎙️! And fittingly, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Alz Authors, the global community changing the dementia narrative one book at a time. My co-host, Don Priess and I sit down with Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates to reflect on a decade of impact — from books to podcasts to their brand-new film festival.

What began as a one-month blog has grown into a worldwide network of 400+ storytellers sharing authentic experiences of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Together we explore:

• How one story can change a life, and how hundreds can change a culture.
• Why storytelling across genres — memoir, fiction, children’s books, podcasts, and film — matters.
• The importance of curating authentic voices and supporting new authors.
• Practical encouragement for anyone ready to share their journey.

This milestone episode is a joyful reminder that storytelling is activism — and that love, creativity, and community truly Conquer Alz!

Marianne Sciucco (RN, author of Blue Hydrangeas) and Christy Byrne Yates (MS, psychologist and author of Building a Legacy of Love) co-host the AlzAuthors Podcast and bring lived caregiving wisdom to a global community of 400+ storytellers. AlzAuthors curates books, podcasts, and now films that transform the way we understand Alzheimer’s and dementia.
