In this episode, Ellie talks with New York based SLP and creator of Speech Time Fun, SLP Elevate, and the Secondary SLP Roadmap, Hallie Sherman. They discuss how to confidently serve upper elementary, middle school, and high school speech students, why older learners need explicit teaching instead of endless testing, and how Hallie transitioned from a school based role into a flexible business that supports SLPs worldwide. You will hear practical insight on burnout, mindset, exploring non clinical and non traditional SLP paths, and simple ways to test a new niche or setting without overhauling your whole career. This conversation is for any speech language pathologist who feels stuck, is curious about working with older students, or wants to rediscover their motivation for the field.

Hallie shares how she turned her passion for helping busy SLPs into a thriving brand, from self-publishing her children’s book Ella Bella Just Can’t Tell Ya to releasing her upcoming professional guide Secondary SLP Roadmap.
