Hi Reader,
​
I'm excited to share my new YouTube channel! I released my first short video on Saturday night, sharing 3 tips to remember why you walked into a room.

My goal is to share practical tips and a down-to-earth persona, which is why I left the blooper in at the end. In this age of AI, I want to double down on being human (as Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn often says).

Please complete this quick poll and help me decide what kind of videos to make!
​
​📺 Under "Diverse Voices," you'll find a short video showing what TMI feels like for an autistic person.
​
⚕️ Under "Interesting, Useful, or Fun," you'll find:

- New tool for trach patients.
- Online support groups and more for aphasia.
- NURSE for difficult emotions.

Feel free to reply to this email with any suggestions or comments!

​This powerful YouTube video shows you what TMI feels like for an autistic person. Bottom line, slow down and give people the time and space they need.

(1) Here's a helpful new tool for deciding when to evaluate and treat tracheostomy patients. The green light tool and guidance are in the Appendix.
​
(2) Free online aphasia support groups. The National Aphasia Association has many different formats, including for Black Americans, people with PPA, and care partners. They also have other activities, such as game shows and meditation practice.
​
(3) NURSE acronym for conversations with difficult emotions. I'll share the acronym, but I highly recommend reading the article, which gives useful examples. Respond to emotions with NURSE: naming, understanding, respecting, supporting, and exploring.

Thanks for reading!
