Apple Podcasts | TuneIn | GooglePlay | Stitcher | Spotify | RadioPublic | iHeartRadio For the next ten weeks, Rock Star Principles creator Dayna Steele is excited to introduce you to her new project… THE WOMAN IN THE MIRROR is a new play based on Texas Radio Hall of Famer and entrepreneur Dayna Steele's 2016 book, Surviving Alzheimer's With Friends, Facebook and a Really Big Glass of Wine. In this best-selling caregiver's memoir, Steele candidly chronicled her mother's journey with Alzheimer's on Facebook with unfiltered observations and dark humor. The Woman in the Mirror, a dark comedy, will premiere at MATCH in Houston, Texas November 4-14 with a limited run of 12 performances. With the 2020 COVID lockdown, the live play was postponed and was instead performed as a 10-episode series of table reads with the director, creator, and an actor. Each series ended with Dayna interviewing an expert about some facet of dealing with Alzheimer's and other forms of Dementia. Leading up to opening night, you will be able to listen to those table reads here. These podcast episodes, the table read series, and the live performances are written by caregivers and performed for caregivers and those who love them with love, laughter, and wine. Lots of wine. There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers. - Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter IN THIS EPISODE… Not only do I miss everything that made Mom a wonderful mother, I also miss all the things my Mom used to say. Even the things that were annoying like: "Don't throw that out, put it in the freezer!" or "Don't shuffle your feet." Stay tuned after the episode for a personal note from me about my lowest point of this journey and why Mom is smiling in the picture.
