United States3 years ago - I JUST got caught up yesterday,,,
This is the comment I left on Angie's FB post: It was AWESOME!!! I kept rewinding to re-listen to certain parts (cuz my brain needs repetition in order to grasp most WOW moments - like "ooh, that was good, i gotta hear it again!"🤓)!!!
Thanks to you and Dr. Seles for bringing awareness to all!!! I know I never heard of aphasia until I was told I had it after my stroke, and I was 41 at the time!!! That's not "old " but that's a lifetime to some, and to not have even heard of it in all those yea... more
Apple Podcasts5LRAragonUnited States3 years ago - Safe space for education and community
As a black neuro-nerd Speech-Language Pathologist, and someone who is very passionate about the Aphasia population, I absolutely love this podcast. I find myself taking mental notes of things I can say to encourage my clients, laughing at their humor and jotting down resources that they share.
This podcast is authentic and it feels like Dr. Seles and Angie can connect to their listeners through the speakers.
Can’t wait to listen to more.
So happy I’m a Brain Friend!
Apple Podcasts5MeliMelSLHUnited States3 years ago - Neuroplasticity explained!
The episode on neuroplasticity translates this unpronounceable scientific concept into simple, everyday terms with examples from real life. It lays out a blueprint for aphasia recovery that everyone can relate to. Plus - it’s a fun conversation - only Angie and Dr. Seles could do that!

Staged discussion- mechanical, reading off of script
Apple Podcasts2rjenebrUnited States3 years ago - Aphasia
Wow what a blessing this show is. We needed something to educate us on Aphasia and the after effects of a stroke. Thank you!
Apple Podcasts5NatethegirlUnited States3 years ago - Insightful and fun!
An amazing window into the world of aphasia. Plus, it’s just fun hanging out with Angie and Dr. Seles!
Apple Podcasts5wgreenspanUnited States3 years ago - Glad We’re Talking About It!
As a daughter/caregiver who had a loved one with Aphasia following a mild stroke and then throughout life with vascular dementia, I APPRECIATE this pod!
Your efforts to educate the masses (specifically black/brown communities) by putting a name to it and discussing the struggles for the person living with and their families, will hopefully eliminate embarrassment and encourage respect… understanding ..patience…when it’s encountered.
People living with aphasia are STILL smart, charming, talente... more
