Ep.6 Finding Your Voice Again | Aphasia Phil

from When Words Don't Come Easy · host Justin and Roger Chlowitz

In this episode, we sit down with Aphasia Phil (Phil Oxendine), an aphasia advocate who turned a lack of representation into action.After his stroke, Phil noticed something missing. There were very few real, relatable aphasia voices on YouTube. So instead of waiting for someone else to tell those stories, he started telling his own.Phil shares his personal journey with aphasia, what recovery has really looked like, and the moment he realized how critical support groups and community are for people living with communication challenges. We talk about isolation, finding people who truly understand, and why being seen and heard matters just as much as therapy.
