What Listeners are Saying

“Since I met with you in early December I've listened to more of your podcasts — all of them, actually — and I just want to tell you what a lifeline they are for me. They have been extraordinarily helpful even though many of the personal experiences that you and Rachel share have to do with caring for a parent rather than a spouse, which is my situation.”

Mary E., listener/client
“Hope Floats podcasts are amazing! They answer and clarify so many questions I’ve had. The tips are helpful and can be applied right away, especially regarding the holidays. Shoshawna and Rachel are very professional and articulate in their deliverance of sensitive information about Dementia. My dear friend has Dementia and these podcasts spark new ideas for ways to interact with her and her primary caregiver. I will continue to listen and learn and gain hope on this unpredictable journey. Thank you so much for your service through these podcasts. I will pass them on at every opportunity!”

Karen C., listener
“My Mom no longer remembers what season it is, her age, her birthdate or mine. We are heading down the long road of dementia. With help from Hope Floats, this road is less lonely. From big picture information, like the stages of dementia, to precise scripts to use with a loved one living with dementia and constant reminders of the importance of self care for caregivers, listening to the podcast helps to make sense of this difficult journey. Thank you Shoshawna and Rachel for your calm voices, well thought out advice and empathy.”
