#169 Out of the Drawer: How to Turn Borrowed Time Into Better Communication
“We used to be better at this.”
That thought comes when you open a drawer and find old communication tools — the photo cards, the whiteboard, the worksheets. They were helping once. Then life got heavy, and they slipped away.
If you’re carrying that quiet hum of mental noise — the endless “What did I forget?” — you’re not alone. This episode helps you turn a simple seasonal cue, Daylight Savings, into a chance to pull communication back into view and make life lighter again.
You don’t get an extra hour this fall. But you can get back calm, connection, and a little rhythm in the chaos.
Our free Daylight Savings Communication Reset on the blog is the tool. The LIFE Aphasia Collective is where you’ll learn to live it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• How visibility changes everything — what’s visible gets used
• Simple ways to rebuild shared communication systems at home
• Why your person with aphasia needs ownership, not rescue
• How small seasonal anchors restore rhythm, confidence, and peace
If this hits home, there’s a place for you.
Join The LIFE Aphasia Collective — a private care partner community where you’ll learn the steps to build a life beyond aphasia.
