Work Life Balance for Speech Pathologists: Mindful Time Management Tips for Therapists, Clinicians, & Private Practice Owners

If you're an SLP in the United States, then I'm sure you're well aware of the recent announcement regarding the increase in ASHA dues beginning in the 2025 membership year. There has been LOTS of "discussion" (to put it nicely) amongst the members of our field and I felt compelled to discuss the topic in the SLP Support Group on Facebook. In this FB Live, I'm sharing some coaching questions to help sort through the thoughts and emotions that so many of us are experiencing right now. This episode offers a little glimpse into the dynamic of a coaching session as well as some food for thought for those grappling with this recent news.

Today's episode is my unique perspective on session notes and how I'm able to get them done with less time and energy than ever before.  Let's face it, session notes (any documentation, really) are one of the worst parts about the job. We got into this field to help people, not to spend endless amounts of time consumed by paperwork. In fact, session notes are probably one of the top five most frequently coached about topics with my coaching clients. That's why I'm spending today's session exploring five unique ways to reconsider session notes so that they become easier and easier to accomplish. Trust me, you won't think of session notes the same way again!

One of the most common things I hear coaching clients tell me is that they want to be "consistent" at XYZ. Doesn't much matter what the "thing" is--it could be exercising, meal planning, self-care, not taking work home with them, etc--consistency is always part of the goal.

The trouble with  the desire to be consistent, though, is that it quite often derails us from reaching our goals. In today's short-and-sweet episode, I'm breaking down what consistency means and how we can create it for ourselves.

If you've struggled with starting and stopping, staying "on track," gaining momentum and then hitting a wall, then tune in to today's episode for some inspiration and support.

• how to identify your referral partners
• what marketing information to keep track of
