💭 "What happens when the words you need to say the most are the hardest to speak?"

Aphasia doesn’t just steal words—it changes relationships. Care partners and stroke survivors often hold back what they really want to say, fearing it won’t be understood, will hurt too much, or won’t change anything. But keeping quiet only deepens the disconnect.

In this episode, we’re breaking the silence. We’re saying the things that often go unsaid—the frustrations, fears, and unspoken truths between care partners and people with aphasia. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to bridge the gap and start conversations that bring clarity, understanding, and healing.

🎯 Action Step: Say ONE thing to your partner that you’ve been holding back. Then wait. Because connection starts with a single moment of honesty.

🔥 Resources to Take This Further:

If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Let’s change the way we communicate about aphasia—together.
