“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 Why caregiver mental load makes communication harder than it should be • 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. https://www.lifeaphasiaacademy.com/collective MORE RESOURCES Read & download your Daylight Savings Communication Reset: https://www.lifeaphasiaacademy.com/blog/out-of-the-drawer-daylight-savings-reset Explore LIFE Speech Pathology services: https://www.lifespeechpathology.com Learn more about the LIFE Method™ Roadmap: https://www.lifeaphasiaacademy.com/life-method You’re not failing — you’re adapting.
