About Nancy Nelson “dangle” Co-Founder, dangle & dot: Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2013, Nancy Nelson transformed fear into creativity and purpose. In the quiet hours following her diagnosis, she began writing words and phrases that seemed to “fall from the sky”—a healing practice that deepened her understanding of both her own and her father’s dementia journeys. Following a second diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in 2018, Nancy continued to embrace life with courage and grace plus a brain healthy lifestyle. She is the author of three acclaimed poetry collections—Blue. River. Apple.—which chronicles her personal experience with dementia. An Alzheimer’s advocate and public speaker, Nancy shares her story at education and policy events, participates in dementia research, and leads support groups for individuals in the early stages of the disease. Known for her uplifting honesty and creative voice, Nancy uses poetry and social media to reframe how the world sees dementia—not as an ending, but as a call to live fully, not fearfully. About Kat Hartley, BS Pharm “dot", Co-Founder, dangle & dot: Kat Hartley has spent every decade of her life on the emotional, financial, and spiritual rollercoaster of Alzheimer’s Disease—having lost seven beloved relatives to it. The lessons and loss of her joyous father, who lived with dementia, continue to inspire her mission to help others live well. A pharmacist by training, Kat has dedicated her career to advancing Alzheimer’s research, treatment, and care. She began her professional journey at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, then served with the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Today, Kat is a brain health consultant, speaker, and author who promotes healthy lifestyle practices, mindfulness meditation, and community connection as pathways to prevent or delay dementia. Kat finds deep joy and a surprising re-discovery of self-worth as a full-time family care partner for her mother and brother. About dangle & dot Company Bio: dangle & dot delight when inspiring people to explore, with curiosity and willingness, the new possibilities one can discover despite the inherent challenges of cognitive changes.

Derek DeVos (Ret.) USAF Founder of The PTSD All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Derek DeVos, Technical Sergeant (Retired), USAF as guest to the show. About Derek DeVos, Technical Sergeant (Retired), USAF: Derek raised his right hand in January 2009 and served over 15 years in the United States Air Force. From Utah to Alaska, the Republic of Korea to North Carolina and New Mexico, and through two deployments that tested every part of him, he carried both the pride and the weight of being an Airman. Derek's career ended early when PTSD and physical conditions caught up with him, and he was medically retired on September 15, 2024. Derek is now a 100% disabled veteran, continuing the mission through The PTSD, Inc., a nonprofit he founded in Statesville, NC to ensure veterans and families don’t have to fight alone. About The PTSD: The PTSD, Inc. is a disabled veteran-founded nonprofit based in Statesville, NC, built from lived experience. Our mission is to reduce barriers for veterans and their families by providing peer-led support, community-driven resources, and practical tools that restore stability and hope. We believe every veteran deserves a clear path forward, and no family should have to fight PTSD alone. We keep it simple: • The PATH – veterans walking together through peer-led support groups. • The HUB – a one-stop resource navigation center, that ends dead ends and red tape in the system. • BRAVE TAILS – veterans and shelter dogs healing side by side . • The AIMS – adaptive memory and accountability support, helping track spirals and wins. • The 2nd Front – our fastest-growing lane, designed for caregivers, spouses, and families. Behind every veteran is a second front line: caregivers carrying the invisible weight. This program gives them a peer-led community of their own, with respite, tools, and recognition. All Home Care Matters was one of the first to recognize and amplify this vision , proving the urgency and resonance of supporting caregivers. It’s not theory. It’s lived experience turned into action, a closed-loop ecosystem designed to scale across communities, reduce crisis events, and strengthen families. /episode/index/show/homecarematters/id/38847785
