  • Welcomed sharing within the stroke community

    Thank you Genevieve for your interview! I very much appreciate the opportunity to share my journey, and how writing in the various activities I’m involved with like the podcast or a validation of how far I’ve come. I think often times people don’t look back enough to see the journey they’ve gone on, and this was a very validating opportunity to talk about it and share with others.

    Thank you again!

  • Crucial conversations

    Thank you so much for having these conversations with smart, knowledgeable people. Having so much information for caretakers, families with aging adults, and those that support them, all in one place is amazing. As an insurance agent, many of my clients ask me for advice on many of these topics, and now I have a golden nugget to share with them to help on so many of the important topics. I can’t share your podcast enough, but I am spreading the word. Keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#158 More Than Awareness: Speaking Up for Aphasia and Stroke Recovery
Q: How does the ambassador program fit into the mission?
Ambassadors help broaden reach by sharing their lived experiences, teaching others how to tell their stories, and creating a community where care partners and survivors feel seen, heard, and supported through practical steps and shared resources.
#158 More Than Awareness: Speaking Up for Aphasia and Stroke Recovery
Q: Why did you write a book like this, How to Help?
The book was born from recognizing that care partners don't get a usable manual in hospital and that practical, everyday strategies—like asking for help, building a support network, and planning day-to-day tasks—are essential to reduce burnout and support recovery.
#185 From Nurse Mode to Wife Mode: Can Physical Intimacy Come Back After Stroke?
Q: Laura, wrap this up and give some action steps. What do you think we could encourage the listeners to do to start building back their intimacy after aphasia?
Schedule dedicated, uninterrupted time for connection, start with small, feasible windows (like 20 minutes), and build from there with nonverbal cues, flirting, and open conversations to reestablish emotional and physical closeness.
What 18 Years of Stroke Recovery Teaches About Aphasia Mindset | #203
Q: How do you handle plateaus in recovery?
View plateaus as opportunities for a mental reset and adjust your program; treat them as the next step in climbing toward progress, not as a dead end.
