Trying private practice may feel scary and uncomfortable, but it’s worth the risk when you consider the alternative: staying stuck in a less-than-ideal (maybe even toxic!) work environment!

Joining me today is Kylie Danfelt, SLP and owner of Berry Sweet Speech and Language. Within a year of joining the Start Program, Kylie went from stressful and tear-filled work days, to a full caseload and flexibility to be with her family.

In this episode, Kylie shares how she got into private practice, what helped her grow her caseload in a short amount of time, and how she makes a bigger difference in her community without spending more time at work.

Kylie Danfelt is nationally certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and state-certified in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and California.  She earned her bachelor’s degree from Bloomsburg University (2017) and her master’s degree from Towson University (2019). She has worked in public schools in both states for the majority of her career. She also briefly worked at a private practice in Maryland before COVID. She has worked with children aged 18 months to 18 years old. Her clinical interests and specialties include articulation disorders, phonological disorders, and childhood language disorders. She also has experience treating fluency disorders and social communication disorders. 

Aside from being a speech-language pathologist, Kyle is the wife of a blueberry farmer and a mother of two boys. She enjoys spontaneous adventures and traveling, especially to warm places, exercising, and being with my family and friends.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• Why staying put in a toxic environment is a bad move for everyone
• The marketing “avalanche effect” that led her to a full caseload
• Growing her team to support the huge demand in the community
• What it’s like being in a family of entrepreneurs

Instead of going to a stressful job each day, Kylie can drop her son off at school and participate in so many of her kids’ activities thanks to the flexibility of her private practice. You deserve to enjoy your work AND life, don’t sell yourself short!
