ALZ AUTHORS: A Decade of Stories that Change Culture

Описание: This episode launches Season 10 of Love Conquers Alz 🎙️! And fittingly, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Alz Authors, the global community changing the dementia narrative one book at a time.  My co-host,  Don Priess and I sit down with Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates to reflect on a decade of impact — from books to podcasts to their brand-new film festival.


What began as a one-month blog has grown into a worldwide network of 400+ storytellers sharing authentic experiences of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Together we explore:

• How one story can change a life, and how hundreds can change a culture.
• Why storytelling across genres — memoir, fiction, children’s books, podcasts, and film — matters.
• The importance of curating authentic voices and supporting new authors.
• Practical encouragement for anyone ready to share their journey.

This milestone episode is a joyful reminder that storytelling is activism — and that love, creativity, and community truly Conquer Alz!


Marianne Sciucco (RN, author of Blue Hydrangeas) and Christy Byrne Yates (MS, psychologist and author of Building a Legacy of Love) co-host the AlzAuthors Podcast and bring lived caregiving wisdom to a global community of 400+ storytellers. AlzAuthors curates books, podcasts, and now films that transform the way we understand Alzheimer’s and dementia.
