What does it mean to live with Alzheimer’s while still being fully yourself?
In this episode, I sit down with Sean Terwilliger, who was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s and has chosen to meet this diagnosis with honesty, humor, advocacy, and purpose.
We talk about the first signs, the long road to diagnosis, broken systems, fear, treatment, family, writing, and what it means to hold onto your identity when life changes in ways you never expected.
Sean also shares how writing, advocacy, and the love of his family — especially his wife Wendy and son Jonas — have helped him keep moving forward.
This is a conversation about Alzheimer’s, but even more than that, it’s about love, identity, courage, and the power of staying fully present in your own life.
