Whether you’re dating, married, making new friends, or trying to reconnect with family—real connection matters. As Deaf women, we know that communication isn’t just about words. It’s about presence, understanding, and showing up fully in every interaction. But life gets busy. Burnout sneaks in.

That’s the difference between falling off after two weeks and still showing up in June. Glow…
