You know what Parkinson’s takes that hardly anyone warns you about? Your voice. One day you are talking normally, and the next day people are leaning in saying, “Sorry, can you repeat that?” Meanwhile, in your head, you feel like you are practically shouting.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I break down why Parkinson’s changes your voice, what is actually happening in the brain and body, and what you can do to fight back before it starts shutting you out of conversations and connection.

We talk about:
 🗣️ Why Parkinson’s affects volume, clarity, and breath support
 🧠 The science behind hypophonia and why you do not notice it yourself
 🍔 Real-life moments that made me realize my voice was fading
 🎤 What actually helps, including speech therapy, daily practice, and posture
 📱 Tools and apps that can help you train your voice at home

This episode also includes Carmen’s Care Partner Corner, where Carmen shares what it is like on the other side of the conversation and how simple cues can reduce frustration and keep communication flowing.

Parkinson’s might make your voice softer, but it does not get to silence your story.
