About Rosanne:
Rosanne Corcoran’s journey into caregiving began with a dementia
diagnosis of her fiercely independent mother, opening the door to a 12-year

isolation caregiving brings along with the lack of meaningful resources for
caregivers, Rosanne created Daughterhood the Podcast. As host of the
podcast, touching the lives of thousands of caregivers, Rosanne brings her
authentic voice to each conversation and discusses challenges caregivers
face with experts in all fields.
