Today we have the incredible Erin McCarthy on today! We discussed oral care and NVHAP. This sounds super simple, I get it! However, this is so important and one of those things we don't learn in-depth in graduate school. Now we have people dedicating their lives and research to this super important first step! Have you heard of NVHAP? Nope, I hadn't either.. (can you guess who works primarily with pediatrics?) Take a listen to learn more about this and learn from this incredible leader in our field.. did I mention she is affiliated with many organizations, universities, and starting her own business! This SLP does more in a day than I most likely do in a month.. check her out!

Today we sit down with Leanna Vollintine for PART 2! Part Two is all about what chronic pain is and how it affects those with the diagnosis in their day to day. We also discuss how this can affect running a business. Our biggest take away from the episode is to have open communication with parents/families that you work with to remind them that you are a person as well! Take that time off, run a little late, take a nap.. but don't feel bad about it (or do it often)! So whether you are a chronic pain sufferer or not, this episode will be helpful to you starting a business :)

Remember this is PART 2, so go listen to PART 1 for more of Leanna and her amazing personality!

Today we sit down with Leanna Vollintine! We discussed almost everything, so we made two episodes out of it :) Part One is all about building rapport with families and clients! We discuss great functional activities in and out of therapy as well as how to incorporate the family/caregivers into our therapy to help with carryover. (Also when you should not be sending activities home). Leanna has so many great ideas for how to make parents more comfortable, aware of what our services entail, and the importance of home practice!

Remember this is PART 1, so stay tuned for PART 2 next time! You will learn about her experience as a business owner and how chronic pain affects everyday tasks. She brings so much insight and great business tips for anybody!

Today I am beyond thrilled to have Kimberly Sanzo join me today (as you can tell by my obsessive talking)! We discussed the Deaf/hard of hearing populations and the misconceptions that not only the public has about them and their disability, but us as therapists are guilty of as well. Both of us have seen first hand these misconceptions in real life and I learned so much about hearing loss through this episode. These kiddos (and adults) have so much to teach us (about something we can never quite understand) and I really appreciate people like Kimberly taking initiative to help their voices be heard!

Today we travel to Australia to talk with our next guest, Ishwari Samarakoon! We discussed so many things, but focused on burnout and how to improve feelings surrounding our field. We also discuss the areas we need to stand up for ourselves to other professionals/companies and even parents! Your mental health is worth it and hopefully this episode gives you some tips and pointers OR at least reminds you that you are not alone in feeling burnt out at any stage in the career.

Today we are joined with Virginia Ingram! She taught me so much about what digital literacy is (and no, it is not e-books, I learned..) and how we use it in our speech therapy services as well as in our day-to-day lives.

Speech pathology is as broad of a field as you can imagine! It can feel a bit big at times, but sit down to hear what this career path is and why you should choose it. The biggest benefit of joining is the flexibility to work in many settings and with many populations as well as improve people's communication and overall quality of life. We also talk about advocating and how to make your voice heard to improve treatment and the field as a whole. Hop in, especially if you are new to the field (or not in the field at all), to gain a whole new understanding of SLPs before we do a deep dive into all of these areas and the assessment/treatment of LITERALLY everything!
