Lori La Bey talks with Nancy Poland, who has been a guest on our show before. Through her company, Grace’s Message, she is an author, speaker, and trainer. Nancy says, with grace and hope, she provides written and spoken communication on caregiving, loss, and other valuable topics.

Jodie Johson has supported her son Zachary’s journey with Down Syndrome and Acute Myelogenous Leukemia at age 6 months. In honor of Zachary, in 1993, Jodie and her husband Scott started The Zachary Johnson Kids with Cancer Fund at Riverwood Healthcare Center, their local hospital foundation. They also give out monetary gifts to kids with cancer in their surrounding area. They have helped over 103 children. Jodie is here today to share about Zachary’s diagnosis with Regression Disorder and the link to Alzheimer’s.
