In today's episode, I’m unpacking 10 things I deeply wish every SLP knew…the stuff people don’t always say out loud. Some of these might feel validating. Some might poke at you a little. All of them are meant to help you get your time, energy, and confidence back.
And if anything in this episode hits home, make sure you grab your seat for my free webinar on December 16 at 8 PM EST: Work-Life Balance for SLPs with ADHD. You’ll walk away understanding why traditional time management strategies haven't worked for you and what to do instead. You don’t have to show up live, but you do need to get on the list to get the replay.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why “yes” is not your job description -- and how to choose the yeses that actually serve you.
- How to define what a “good SLP” really means (and why your default definition is probably perfectionism in disguise).
- The role your values play in burnout, fulfillment, and friction at work -- and what misalignment really looks like.
- Why work-life balance isn’t a setting…it’s a skill (and yes, you can learn it).
- The truth about your thoughts, emotions, and burnout cycle -- especially if you have ADHD.
- Why rest is not optional and the real reason you keep burning yourself out.
If This Resonates…
If you were nodding along (or wincing a little), I’d love to help you work through this in coaching.
I’ve got one spot left on my caseload, and this is exactly the kind of work I do with my clients, especially neurodivergent SLPs navigating executive function overload.
If you’re curious whether coaching is a good fit, book a free consult. We’ll talk about what’s going on, what you want, and how I can support you.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
