We’ve been sold a version of "work-life balance" that sounds great on paper, but terrible in real life. If you’ve ever changed jobs, started a private practice, or rearranged your schedule hoping this would finally make things feel calm--only to find yourself just as stressed as before--this episode is for you. I went live in the Work-Life Balance for Speech Pathologists Facebook group and shared three big lies we’ve been told about balance and why they quietly keep high-ach...
I started my own business for more freedom and accidentally created a brand-new kind of stress. If you’re self-employed, running a private practice, or even just craving more autonomy over your time, this episode is for you. I’m sharing a very real, very recent behind-the-scenes look at how “time freedom” can quietly turn into overwhelm and what to do when you realize your days aren’t working the way you thought they would. This one is honest, a little uncomfortable, and incredibly common, ...
If your life looks “fine” on paper, but you’re exhausted, behind, and constantly pushing through -- this episode is for you.

These aren’t magic fixes, but they do change how you show up at work and at home. What You’ll Learn: Why pushing through your thoughts and feelings is actually slowing you down and how learning to process them creates relief inste...
If you've ever heard me talk about coaching and wondered, "But what IS coaching, exactly?" you're not alone. This episode was inspired by a real conversation in my Facebook group that made me realize a lot of SLPs don’t actually know what coaching is and how it can help. (I didn’t either before I found it.) So today, I’m breaking down five things I wish every SLP understood about coaching and why it might be the missing piece if your life looks fine on paper, but feels heavy in practice. Wh...

This is the first episode of 2026 and I’ll be honest: I’m not feeling the New Year hype.

In this episode, I’m giving you permission to stop forcing it and offering a gentler, alternative way to move forward without spiraling or staying stuck.

This episode is a little shorter, a little messier, and very real. I sat down ready to record one thing, and my energy said absolutely not.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how it impacted the way I see myself.

If you’ve ever walked out of a session wondering, “Was that good enough?” — this one’s for you. I’m naming a sneaky burnout loop that traps a lot of high-achieving SLPs: the cycle of over-delivering and over-functioning just to feel effective.

By the end, you’ll see that the value isn’t in the extra few minutes or the per...

In this episode, I unpack why staying caught up on notes, IEPs, and reports feels so hard—especially for those of us with ADHD—and what you can actually do about it.

Executive functioning (EF) isn’t just something you teach your students or talk about in CEUs—it’s the invisible set of skills running your day.

These skills can be strengthened, and small shifts can make a big difference in both work and home life.
