Work Life Balance for Speech Pathologists: Mindful Time Management Tips for Therapists, Clinicians, & Private Practice Owners

114. Back-to-School Chaos: ADHD-Friendly Sanity Strategies for Overwhelmed SLPs


Listen Later

You love your kids. You love summer. But right about now? You’ve had enough. The lack of structure, the endless snacks, the back-to-school forms piling up—it’s a lot. And if you’re feeling scattered, behind, or just plain wiped, you’re not failing. You’re human.

In this episode (pulled from a Facebook Live), I’m talking about what this season actually feels like for SLPs, why it’s so tricky for ADHD brains, and the mindset + systems shifts that can keep you afloat until routines return.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Why this season feels so hard (hint: it’s not just you)
  • The power of naming what’s happening out loud to defuse shame
  • What it really means to be gentle with yourself—and how to build up to it
  • My go-to strategy for B- work: the Minimum Viable Product approach
  • Practical cues, reminders, and supports that actually help when life is chaos
  • A quick mindset reframe that puts you back in the driver’s seat

Whether you’re trying to keep up with eval reports, school paperwork, or just laundry and snacks on repeat, this episode will help you feel less alone—and remind you that you do have options (none of which involve being perfect).
