Show Notes
This week, Beth is joined by Stacey Markle, who shares her powerful and deeply personal story of navigating dementia as an only child after the sudden loss of her father. When her mum began showing signs of cognitive decline, Stacey became her primary caregiver, managing everything from diagnosis to daily care, and later navigating the complexities of long-term care in the US system.
Over the past ten years, Stacey has gained invaluable knowledge about dementia care, legal planning and the realities of caregiving. Through her Instagram page, @navigatingdementiacare, she now shares practical advice, candid reflections and support for others going through the same journey, helping caregivers feel less alone.

More from FTD - Navigating The Cr*p
This week I’m joined by Sam, whose son Andre was diagnosed with FTD at just 22. Sadly, he passed away at 24.
Last week we heard from Suzi, who is living with FTD. This week her husband, Colin, joins me to share the other side of their story.
This week I'm joined by Suzi Barton - the FTD Warrior. Suzi was diagnosed with FTD at just 50 and has been living with it for 11 years. She's a former social worker, a mum, a nana to 11, a rock chick and a miniature maker, and she's proof that a dementia diagnosis doesn't mean life has to stop.
Series 3 kicks off in FTD Awareness Week 2026 with Emily Harris. Her mum, Andrea, was a nurse for 35 years. She was first diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer's at 56, until a genetic test showed she actually has MAPT FTD.
In this special bonus episode of FTD: Navigating the Crap, Beth is joined by Natalie Carter, host of the Dementia Dialogues podcast.
