In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, Deborah Kan, an award-winning journalist and founder of Being Patient, shares how her caregiving journey transformed her from a seasoned journalist covering global events to a trusted voice in the dementia community. She opens up about the challenges of balancing her career with the demands of caregiving, the moments that challenged her, and the insights that ultimately led her to create resources that thousands of families now depend on.
Deborah brings her storytelling expertise and investigative instincts to a conversation that explores the gaps in dementia support, the isolation caregivers face, and why she decided to use her platform and skills to build something bigger than herself. From the newsrooms of Asia to the quiet moments of caregiving at home, this is a story about finding purpose in unexpected places and turning personal struggle into collective strength.
As a mom of three and an avid runner, Deborah also discusses how she maintains her own well-being while supporting others, the lessons journalism taught her about advocacy, and what it really takes to create meaningful change in the dementia space.
