“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.

• 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.
