Conversations Through Alzheimer's
In 2019, we slowly started to watch our mom, Rose Marti, lose cognitive function and our family didn't have answers for years. Her PCP told us she was "just getting old." We didn't accept that, and we kept fighting. In 2025, she was finally diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 61.
This podcast is what comes next.
Conversations Through Alzheimer's follows a real family in real time. The fear, the love, the logistics, and the moments nobody warns you about. Hosted by sisters Amber Marti and Felicia Wood, this is an honest and authentic look at what it actually means to walk through this together.
This podcast is also meant to be a resource because there's a lot of information out there about Alzheimer's and almost none of it is in one place. Each episode weaves our family's lived experience with practical education: the medications that have been tried, functional medicine support, the legal forms you should complete while your loved one is still here mentally, how to build the right medical team, what the Alzheimer's Association can do for you, and how to find your people as a caregiver.
If your family is in this too — or if you're just starting to wonder — this is for you.
New episodes every Monday. Season 1 launches June 1, 2026.
