Show Notes
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.
Emily talks openly about the early signs, the fight for answers, the heartbreaking decision to move her mum into full-time care, and her own decision to get tested for the gene.

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.
In this special bonus episode of FTD: Navigating the Crap, Beth is joined by Natalie Carter, host of the Dementia Dialogues podcast.
In this final episode of Season Two, Beth takes a moment to pause, look back, and share where life - and her mum’s dementia journey - are now.
