Life In Motion: The Parkinson's Podcast

What Parkinson’s Looks Like Through a Care Partner’s Lens

Bryce Perry & Brian Campkin Season 1 Episode 11

In this special episode of Life in Motion: The Parkinson’s Podcast, Bryce sits down with his wife, Carmen, to explore what Parkinson’s looks like through a care partner’s eyes. With Brian away on vacation, Carmen steps in as co-host - and the two dive deep into love, laughter, frustration, and the reality of navigating Parkinson’s together.

You’ll hear heartfelt (and hilarious) moments about ghosting, bath-time safety rules, talking in dreams, and why Carmen says she never once hesitated to build a life with Bryce - Parkinson’s and all.

They also play the Care Partner Edition of “Shaky or Fakey”, where Carmen proves she can hold her own against Brian’s high score!

You’ll hear about:

  • What surprised Carmen most about Parkinson’s
  • How invisible symptoms affect daily life and relationships
  • When to help, when to hold back, and when to laugh
  • What dating, love, and marriage look like with Parkinson’s
  • The emotional toll (and strength) of care partners
  • Why communication is the key to living life in motion - together

📢 Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“Parkinson’s doesn’t just happen to one person — it happens to both of you. The key is learning to dance through it together.”
