If your spouse or loved one survived a right hemisphere stroke and now feels… different—you’re not imagining it. In this heartfelt Q&A, Genevieve answers real questions from care partners grappling with subtle but life-altering changes: blank stares, flat affect, lost affection, impulsive speech, and “he’s totally fine” denial. If you’ve ever wondered is this the stroke… or just who they are now?—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and next steps.
This episode is for care partners who are feeling emotionally alone in the aftermath of a stroke that didn’t affect speech—but changed everything else.
There’s a short story I want you to read. It’s called “Are You Lisa or Elena?”
You might be surprised which one you are.
If this episode helped you feel seen, share it with a friend or fellow care partner who needs it. Don’t forget to subscribe to Listen for LIFE and leave a review—your story helps others find theirs.
