The Memory Nook Newsletter

Connection • Dignity • Identity

Every month, I share resources, research, and real talk — written from lived experience, not a textbook. Whether you’re navigating dementia, CADASIL, caregiving, or supporting others, there’s something here for you.

What You’ll Receive Each Month

Wellness & Resources

Practical tools, trackers, and tips to support daily living with dignity and ease.

CADASIL Corner

Research updates, community news, and CADASIL-specific information — written in plain language.

Partnership Opportunities

For NDIS providers, aged care organisations, and workplaces — ways to work together and extend our reach.

From Leanne

A personal note each month — honest, warm, and grounded in what it actually feels like to live this journey.
