In this powerful episode of Life Happens, host Kim Hegwood welcomes Tami Anastasia for a deeply meaningful conversation titled “Personal History, Present Care: Insights from Tami Anastasia.” Tami shares the core idea behind her book, Dementia, Caregiving, and Personal History, and explains what inspired her to frame dementia care through the lens of a loved one’s life story.

Together, Kim and Tami explore how past experiences—such as trauma, cultural values, and lifelong habits—often resurface during dementia. Tami illustrates this concept with real-life stories that show how understanding personal history can completely transform a caregiver’s approach and deepen connection.

The discussion addresses one of the greatest challenges caregivers face: unpredictable behaviors. Tami explains how her book helps caregivers move beyond simply “managing symptoms” to building meaningful, compassionate relationships with their loved ones. She also highlights the importance of caregiver healing, sharing practical strategies from the book that support emotional resilience, self-reflection, and personal well-being.

Listeners will gain insight into how memory care communities and assisted living facilities are using Tami’s work in staff training, along with the practical tools and frameworks that have proven especially impactful in professional settings. The episode concludes with a conversation about legacy and advocacy—what Tami hopes her work will change about how families and society view dementia care, and why honoring personal stories matters so deeply.

This episode offers profound insight, compassion, and guidance for caregivers, professionals, and anyone seeking a more human-centered approach to dementia care.
