<p>If you could switch places with someone and peek into their mind, who would you pick? For journalist Courtney Martin, she chose her aging dad with advanced dementia. Courtney joins Chris to talk about her deep desire to understand her father’s experiences, what it’s like to witness a loved one's health decline, and why it’s important to practice asking for help. This is a perfect episode to listen to if you’re taking care of a loved one (or know someone who is) and want practical ways to be kinder to caregivers.</p><br><p><strong>Host &amp; Guest</strong></p><p>Chris Duffy (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisiduffy/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chrisiduffy</a> | <a href="https://chrisduffycomedy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://chrisduffycomedy.com/</a>)</p><p>Courtney Martin (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/courtwrites/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@courtwrites</a> | <a href="https://courtneyemartin.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://courtneyemartin.com/</a>)&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Humor Me by Chris Duffy: <a href="https://t.ted.com/ZGuYfcL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://t.ted.com/ZGuYfcL</a></p><p><a href="https://courtney.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://courtney.substack.com/</a></p><p>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://go.ted.com/BHTranscripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">go.ted.com/BHTranscripts</a></p><br><p><em>Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at&nbsp;</em><a href="https://attend.ted.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>attend.ted.com/podcast</em></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
