Have you ever found yourself saying—out loud or in your head—“I do not have time to plan this much”?
If so, this episode is for you.

In this honest and validating conversation, I’m unpacking why therapy planning feels so overwhelming for so many SLPs—and why it’s not because you’re disorganized, inexperienced, or doing something wrong.

We’ll talk about how many of us were taught to over-plan in grad school, why that approach becomes unsustainable in the real world, and how constantly reinventing therapy week after week leads straight to burnout. I share real-life stories from my own early career and break down what’s actually happening behind the scenes when planning starts to feel heavy and exhausting.

This episode is a mindset shift and a reality check. We’ll explore:

• Why planning doesn’t magically get easier with time if the system itself is broken
• How too much decision-making—not lack of motivation—is the real problem
• What simplified, sustainable therapy planning actually looks like
• Why effective therapy doesn’t require brand-new ideas every week

If planning is bleeding into your personal life, if you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, or if you feel like you shouldhave this figured out by now—this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and reminded that there is a better way.

Because you’re not failing. You’re overloaded. And therapy was never meant to feel this hard.
