HELLO! Happy Thursday! We are back this week with a wonderful episode this week and can't wait to share it with you!

In today's episode we chat to Emina McLean. Emina is a speech pathologist and mental health clinician with experience working with young people and their families across education, mental health and not-for-profit sectors. She also works at La Trobe as a lecturer and research academic. In this episode we chat about Emina’s career pathway, her passion for literacy and the importance of ensuring balance. We really valued Emina’s insight and advice to future speechies and hope you do too!
