In this final episode of Season Two, Beth takes a moment to pause, look back, and share where life - and her mum’s dementia journey - are now.
She talks openly about the hardest moments of the past year: the sudden overnight decline that changed everything, learning to adapt to new routines with her dad and facing the reality that dementia is a progressive, life-limiting disease.
Beth also reflects on the powerful conversations she’s had throughout this series - from Helen’s genetic testing experience to Eleanor’s discussion on living grief - and how they’ve shaped her own thinking about guilt, self-care and what the future might hold.
The podcast will return in 2026, but for now, Beth is taking a much-needed break to spend precious time with her mum over the festive period.
