My HoneyDew this week is comedian Kelsey Cook! Check out her latest special, Mark Your Territory , now available on YouTube and Hulu, and her podcast, Pretend Problems , co-hosted with comedian Chad Daniels. Kelsey joins me in the studio this week to highlight the lowlight of her mother's battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We dive into the emotional and financial rollercoaster of caregiving, and how genetic testing plays a role in shaping future plans.
