Testimonial

“Thank you so much for having the show on incontinence. Jessica received her samples of Seni and OMG what an amazing product! The look on her face was priceless when it didn’t leak soaking her pants and the floor!  I can’t wait till tomorrow morning to say thank you and order some. What a great product!

I was seriously thinking I would have to cancel our Disney trip in December because of the leaking and soaking through her pants and onto the floor. I am so thankful to have found Seni.”

Testimonial

“I recently had the unique opportunity to appear as a guest on the Alzheimer’s Speaks radio show and it was truly a game changing experience from start to finish! I am truly thankful for the voice that Lori is giving current and former players around the challenges of concussions and their latent effects. The greater the discourse, the more likely things will take a positive turn regarding awareness and making a difference for those impacted. The opportunity also allowed me to engage with a global audience while offering ideas that will serve to advance the conversation around the intricacies of concussions. If given the opportunity, every individual touched by the challenges of concussion’s should leverage the Alzheimer’s Speaks platform to understand what is available to them as they move forward in life.”

Introducing You To The Dementialand Podcast Created By Suzka Collins.

I met Suzka Collins, when I was speaking at one of Maria Shriver's events in Irvine California. It was June 4th, 2017. I was drawn by Suzka's charm and upbeat personality as she spoke. She was raving about our Dementia Chats educational videos. She said they were life changing for her. Suzka binged watched the videos, before binge watching was a thing! Her fascination with those living with dementia. was deep and hopeful.

Suzka was a creative and her determination to make the world a better place was contagious. She had written her book beautiful book Wonders in Dementialand. We talked for hours after the event and she told me of her dream to make a movie out of her book. within a few weeks she was pitching her book and she snagged interest!

I'm sad to say, Covid hit and then Cancer took her before her dream came to life, but below is a sampling of her Dementialand™ Podcast. You can go directly to Suzka's YouTube channel to listen and watch all episodes by clicking on the logo below.

I will forever miss my dear vibrant friend, but I am so happy her work will live on. I hope you enjoy Suzka's storytelling as much as I do.
