A masterclass in love, advocacy, and resilience.What a powerful and heartfelt episode of Full Circlewith our guest Carla Preyer, featured in the new documentary Facing the Wind.
Carla graciously opened up about her and her husbandPatrick’s deep spiritual connection and their beautiful love story — a story that faced a new chapter when Patrick began showing signs of Lewy Body Dementia.
During our conversation, Carla shared the early signs she initially overlooked, and the long and often frustrating journey toward getting a proper diagnosis. Her honesty shed light on how common — and painful — that struggle is, especially in Black and Brown communities.
We also discussed the challenges of accessing care andinformation, the emotional toll of caregiving, and the critical importance of finding a support group — people who not only understand what you're going through but walk beside you through it. Most powerfully, Carla reminded us that asking for help is not a weakness — it’s an act of strength.
Carla’s story, and the Facing the Wind documentary,are a testament to what’s possible when love is backed by community and care.
