In this episode, Jason talks with Ellen Patnaude, author, coach, and dementia educator, about her journey as a caregiver for her mother with Lewy body dementia. Ellen shares her experiences navigating family dynamics, systemic gaps in elder care, and the importance of planning for the future. With honesty and humor, this conversation offers practical insights and support for anyone dealing with caregiving challenges or aging parents.
“Plan. Talk to your loved ones, an attorney, and put something in writing. Don’t leave the burden of guessing to your family.”
Ellen Patnaude has always been fascinated by how a person’s nature and lived experiences cause them to interact with others. She is a Detroit native and graduated from Alma College with a BA in Biology & French. She thought she wanted to be Jacques Cousteau, but her first few science-based jobs pointed clearly towards working with people. She worked for several years as a community organizer in Indiana and Ohio. Returning to Michigan in 2005, her reputation followed her for challenging people to see and be a better version of themselves, and the phone started ringing. Since then, Ellen has built an internationally recognized company supporting teams and their leaders in improving everyday interactions.
Ellen is the author of two books, “I Thought You Knew… Confessions of a Chronic Assumer (and How to Stop Guessing Your Way Through Important Interactions)” and “You’re Not Doing It Right: Loving My Mother Through An Unpredictable Caregiving Journey.”
