One year ago, none of this felt possible for Dr. Viraj.
This conversation is about life beyond aphasia—what happens after rehab ends and the real work of recovery begins. If you’re living with aphasia, or loving someone who is, this episode speaks to the quiet question so many people carry: Is there still a path forward?

In a powerful role reversal, Dr. Viraj interviews Genevieve Richardson about stroke recovery, aphasia, and why hope alone isn’t enough—you need a plan. Together, they reflect on what has changed in just one year, and what actually helps people rebuild communication, confidence, and connection after stroke.

This episode names the emotional fog many survivors and care partners experience when therapy ends and the structure disappears. No one hands you a map. You’re expected to figure it out. And that’s where so many people get stuck—not because they aren’t trying, but because they’re trying alone.

🧠 Key Takeaways
Why rehab ending doesn’t mean recovery is over
How aphasia changes communication—and why intention matters
The difference between passive hope and hope with a plan
Why care partners survive rehab but rebuild at home
How support and community make risk feel possible again
