    Discover: Appreciate the New You

    You can attend meetings on zoom and in person with more confidence. In these workshops I will share ideas and techniques that have helped me thrive, even with aphasia. Bring cards that help you talk and help others understand. Select space to pause. Know that you can leave early if you get overwhelmed or frustrated. And learn how to pause.

    So you have Aphasia and now you get to decide how this unique disability will define you. My hope is that it will give you wings to fly even higher and with more joy than you have before. Why? Because I realized it doesn't have to hold us back. It can actually be what connects us!
