#147 What No One Tells You About Speaking Up After Stroke

#147 What No One Tells You About Speaking Up After Stroke

After a stroke, even everyday conversations can feel like uphill climbs. Maybe you’ve found yourself nodding instead of asking. Staying quiet even when something didn’t feel right. Wishing afterward that you’d said more.

This episode is about those moments.

Genevieve shares what the research says—and what survivors know—about why speaking up gets so complicated after stroke. You’ll learn the hidden steps of self-advocacy and how to rebuild your voice, one small moment at a time.

No pressure. No perfect words. Just the next right step forward.

💡 What You’ll Hear:
  • Why silence after stroke isn’t just about speech—it’s emotional
  • What makes it so hard to speak up, even when you want to
  • A 4-step path to building confidence in everyday situations
  • Real examples of small phrases that open big doors
  • How your story might help someone else speak up, too
