The Lies We Keep Telling Ourselves

How do outdated myths continue to hold SLPs back? From false claims about state licensing boards to misleading job postings and the ASHA NOMs fiasco, it’s time to set the record straight. In this episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, take on the repeated misinformation that keeps circulating in the field—and why they refuse to let it shape the future of speech-language pathology. They’re exposing the reality behind deceptive job listings, calling out the legal issues surrounding ASHA NOMs, and questioning why some SLPs still push unnecessary treatments. What happens when we stop challenging the status quo? And who benefits when we don’t? No fluff, no sugarcoating—just the truth you need to take back control of your career.
