  • How Passion and Curiosity Drive this SLP’s Podcast Rise to the Top of the Charts {SLP Spotlight}
    This week I'm speaking with Leigh Ann Porter, a practicing SLP and the creator and host of "Speech Uncensored Podcast," to learn more about her creative career path.
    ---> Download this episode's “study guide”  (https://bit.ly/MLE18PorterOU) or the full audio transcript (https://bit.ly/MLE18PorterT)<---
    Focus
    How SLPs can use their expertise not only in the field to serve patients but also to create training programs and engaging podcasts to support peer education and camaraderie.
    Discussion & Reflection Questions
    How did you get started as an SLP?
    In what settings do you currently practice?
    How did you get started podcasting?
    Tell us about the CEUs you develop and record.
    What words of advice do you have for the new graduate?
    Quote Of The Conversation
     “…I was facing burnout, right out of the gate. Like my first two years, thinking, how can I exit this field? And I was like, oh, gosh, Leigh Ann, you just started.  But I wasn't feeling fulfilled. And that had many facets to it...but one of them was managing stress. So if I had the tools to manage my stress in different areas of my life, including my SLP stress, I think that would have brought a lot more clarity and peace and have and allowed me to focus more on learning the tools and just being a lot more calmer those first couple years.”  -Leigh Ann Porter
