Episode Details

Susan Obrant is a Grammy-nominated illustrator, fine artist, and creator of wearable crochet sculptures so original they're unreproducible even by her. She built her career as a single mother, showed in galleries and museums, and dressed a New York City dance company. Through it all, including the years her husband Robert's Alzheimer's has quietly progressed, she hasn't stopped creating.

Every morning she carries cappuccino up two flights of stairs to Robert. He used to make it for her. That ritual says everything about what this episode is really about: what commitment looks like when circumstances change and love doesn't.

What you'll learn:

• Why Susan never stopped creating even as Robert's Alzheimer's progressed
• How a single crochet stitch at age 8 became a decades-long creative legacy
• What it means to have a partner who believes in your work more than you do
• How to stay focused on building when caregiving demands everything else
• The one word Susan says is the foundation of everything she has ever created
