Can a marriage survive the “new normal” after trauma?

In this episode of the Resurface Podcast, we sit down for an open, unscripted conversation about marriage, recovery, and life after a medical crisis. We talk through what day to day life actually looks like when the baseline changes and routines, roles, and expectations shift.

The conversation covers stroke recovery, caregiver burnout, emotional fatigue, and the impact long-term healing can have on a relationship. We also allow space for humor and unexpected topics, because not every conversation about health and recovery is heavy. Sometimes the lighter moments matter just as much.

This episode is for stroke survivors, spouses and caregivers, and couples navigating life after trauma or major health events. It’s a real conversation about partnership, communication, resilience, and staying connected through uncertainty and change.

The Resurface Podcast focuses on health journeys, marriage, caregiving, recovery, and life after medical trauma through honest, real-life, and often funny conversations.

We discuss:

• Navigating marriage and communication after a stroke

• Our hidden reality of special needs parenting

• The "Hard" Questions vs. The "Fun" Questions

• Our childhoods and memories we hold
