About this listen

Carol Steinberg is an accomplished writer/editor and a former award-winning journalist who contributed regularly to The New York Times, Success magazine, and other publications.

In addition, Carol brings a deeply personal lens to the world of Alzheimer’s disease. After supporting her mother as the primary caregiver for her father, she witnessed firsthand how this illness reshapes the lives of everyone it touches. Following her father’s passing, she applied her journalism skills, experiences and observations into advocacy, spending 15 years in leadership roles at both local and national Alzheimer’s organizations.

Today, Carol continues her commitment to the Alzheimer’s community, writing the “Voices of Alzheimer’s” newsletter. She is also the author of a new children’s book that blends her family’s experience with age‑appropriate explanations of Alzheimer's disease to children, together with meaningful intergenerational activities that help children (and all of us) stay connected to loved ones living with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Carol's book, "Come Grandpa Meow, Let’s Fly: A Heartfelt Children’s Story About Alzheimer’s Disease Plus a Guide to Intergenerational Activities" is available on Amazon

If you'd like to share your story with Carol for the "Voices of Alzheimer's" newsletter, you can reach her through her LinkedIn profile.
