Mommin' Together

Speech Therapy 101 for Moms: Signs, Timing, School Services, and Airway Links Host Michelle Barnett introduces the Mommin’ Together podcast and interviews licensed speech language pathologist Kim about what speech therapy is and when kids may need it. Kim shares her background, describes pediatric domains including articulation, receptive and expressive language, social language, stuttering (developmental vs. persistent), and feeding/swallowing, and highlights early signs such as limited babbling or vocabulary, not responding to sounds or name, hearing issues, and communication-related frustration. They discuss “late talkers,” developmental sound norms (most sounds by age five), and how airway issues (sleep apnea signs, palate shape, mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, bedwetting) can affect attention, growth, and speech, sometimes addressed with scans, expanders, and tie revisions. Kim compares private vs. school-based therapy eligibility and models, notes homeschool/private-school access to public services in Texas, explains variable therapy duration, suggests at-home language-building strategies, and provides ways to connect via Teach Speech ETX resources.00:00 Welcome to Mommin Together00:48 Meet Kim the SLP01:15 Kim’s Path to Speech Therapy04:06 What Speech Therapy Covers07:29 Stuttering and Feeding Basics11:03 Early Signs to Watch14:58 Late Talker or Delay17:09 Cute Mispronunciations and Norms20:06 Airway Issues and Oral Exam26:08 Airway Resources and Growth30:49 Starting Early vs Later33:22 Private vs School Services33:43 Private Therapy Options34:52 School Eligibility Cutoffs37:17 Group Versus One On One38:49 Services Without Enrollment40:24 Requesting Evaluations Right43:04 Homeschool Outpatient Programs45:03 How Long Therapy Takes49:11 Home Language Routines54:35 When To Get Evaluated56:12 Apps Tools And Contact01:01:14 Mom Mindset And Presence01:04:52 Final Encouragement OutroConnect with KimKim Gray, a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist through the Texas State Board of Examiners and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Ashleigh offers simple preparation steps like diaphragmatic breathing, education, breath prayers, nutrition basics, sleep hygiene, accepting help, and reframing identity in Christ, plus resources including her program Revitalize Your Postpartum, 1:1 coaching, and her book Third Trimester Prep.00:00 Welcome to Mommin Together00:29 Why Postpartum Support Matters01:24 Meet Dr Ashleigh Peterson02:02 Her Nursing Journey03:42 From Provider to Coach04:45 US vs Global Postpartum Care11:33 The Six Week Checkup Gap14:57 Pelvic Floor and Physical Recovery16:09 Emotional and Spiritual Health20:15 Finding Resources and Community22:59 Identity in Christ as a Mom27:51 Simple Postpartum Prep Tips32:22 Breath Prayers and Birth Mindset34:56 Grace Surrender and Trials37:22 Postpartum Nutrition Basics38:44 Easy Food Prep Ideas41:40 Protein Balls and Smoothies43:14 Sleep When Baby Sleeps44:23 Sleep Hygiene and Support47:58 Biblical Rest Mindset51:02 Planning a Gentle Postpartum54:17 Encouragement for Surviving Moms56:56 Finding Support and Programs01:02:53 Nature as a Mom Hack01:05:31 Postpartum Cramping Warning01:08:54 Final Wrap and Call to ShareConnect with Ashleigh: I'm Dr. Ashleigh Peterson DNP, FNP-BC, otherwise known as Dr. Ash.

Michelle interviews licensed professional counselor Alisha Ferrell about helping kids (and moms) navigate big emotions. Alisha defines emotional regulation as noticing, understanding, and managing emotions in healthy ways, emphasizing that “regulated” doesn’t mean always calm and that parents’ nervous systems affect their children’s. They discuss common triggers for parents, including depleted needs (HALT: hungry, angry, lonely, tired), personality differences, attachment dynamics, and how past trauma can be stored in the body and reactivated in parenting. Practical tools covered include co-regulation (staying calm, getting on a child’s level, naming emotions, and being present instead of quickly redirecting), movement and play for kids, breath work, fidgets, somatic/body-based practices, stillness via the Pause App, and building margin. They highlight the importance of repair after escalation, creating an open-door culture where emotions are welcome, and modeling honest emotional expression as parents. The conversation also addresses nutritional and health supports. Spiritually, they talk about emotions as God-designed, Jesus as a model for emotional life, using Scripture (Psalms, Hebrews), inviting the Holy Spirit into hard moments, surrendering children to God, and relying on community. Alisha shares signs counseling may help, mentions EMDR as a trauma tool, and recommends the Raising Boys and Girls resources and the book The Worry-Free Parent. Alisha’s mom hack is a nighttime potty-training bathroom trip, and her parenting aim is to delight in her kids. The episode closes by encouraging moms to pause, invite God in, repair when needed, and remember that emotional safety in the home starts with the parent and that parenting is sanctifying work.00:00 Welcome + Today’s Topic: Kids’ Big Emotions02:35 Meet the Guest: Counselor & Mom Alisha Ferrell05:54 What Emotional Regulation Really Means (and Why It’s Hard)10:18 Tools to Name Feelings: Wheels, Posters & Tangible Aids11:23 Why Kids Trigger Us: HALT, Wiring, Attachment & Trauma17:34 Why It Peaks Around Age 3: Development, Autonomy & Tantrums21:18 Co-Regulation in Action: Staying Calm, Validating, Not Fixing24:28 Why Yelling Back Makes It Worse24:53 De-escalating a Meltdown: Calm Voice, Calm Hands, Even Whispering25:54 When You Mess Up: The Power of Repair & Apologizing to Your Kids26:53 In-the-Moment Regulation Tools: HALT, Breathwork, and Somatic Resets30:13 Build Margin: Stillness, the Pause App, and Why We’re So Easily Triggered31:23 Helping Kids Regulate: Movement, Play, and “Run a Lap” Resets32:32 Supplements & Hormones: Lab Work, Theanine/GABA, and Cycle Tracking34:51 Inviting God Into Emotional Healing: Jesus, Psalms, and Surrendering Your Kids40:19 Counseling, Trauma Triggers, and EMDR Explained44:03 Wrap-Up: Mom Hack, and Final EncouragementAbout AlishaAlisha is an LPC at Living Well Holistic Counseling and Wellness Center in Tyler, Texas.
