   More than Care: Putting Heart Back into Caregiving

   In this episode of The Stronger Together Podcast, we're joined by Sam Cradduck, gerontologist, author, speaker, and founder of More Than Heart, for a meaningful conversation about caregiving, aging, dignity, and the human side of supporting others. Sam shares her experience and perspective on what it truly means to care for someone while recognizing the needs and emotions of everyone involved. We explore the importance of communication, compassion, dignity, and finding ways to navigate some of life's most difficult moments together. It's an honest and heartfelt conversation about why caring is about so much more than meeting someone's needs—and why, even in the most challenging moments, people deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood.

   Janet Gwilliam-Wright Returns: Growth, Memory, and Meaning

   In this deeply personal and reflective episode, the team welcomes back a very special returning guest, Janet, founder of the Mother Love Project. Together, they explore the long-term impact of parental loss, especially when that loss happens in childhood, and how grief continues to evolve over time. Through honest storytelling, Anne and Janet share their lived experiences of losing a parent at a young age—how it shaped their identities, relationships, and the way they navigate life's milestones. From missing everyday conversations to the ache of absent guidance in adulthood, this conversation highlights the quiet, ongoing nature of loss that doesn't always get talked about. The episode also touches on memory, legacy, and the importance of preserving stories, voices, and family history. It's a powerful reminder that while grief changes, the connection never disappears—and neither does the need to talk about it.
