What does it feel like to notice your thinking has changed — but not quite know what that means for your future? In this deeply personal and profoundly moving episode, we sit down with Mike Zuendel, who opens up about his lived experience with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) — the space that exists between normal age-related memory changes and a diagnosis. 

Mike's story is one of honesty, resilience, and remarkable self-awareness. He takes us inside the day-to-day reality of living with MCI — the moments of frustration, the adjustments he's made, the relationships that have shifted, and the outlook that continues to carry him forward. This is not a clinical conversation. This is a human one. Too often, we hear from caregivers and clinicians, and while those perspectives are invaluable, there is something irreplaceable about hearing directly from the person living the experience.
