A while back, an article was floating around that recommended that SLPs “take a break to cry in their cars” to cope with job-related stress.
This wasn’t the first time someone gave SLPs a generic “self-care” band-aid as a solution to burnout, and it won’t be the last.
But it your BS radar goes off like mine does every time someone glosses over the REAL issues SLPs face…you’re certainly not alone.
I’ve been mentoring SLPs for a long time, and when they come to me…many of them are STRUGGLING to get their heads above water when it comes to the massive amount of “behind-the-scenes” work SLPs have to do beyond direct therapy.
And if you’re an SLP treating the pediatric populations, you’ve probably noticed that your language cases can be some of the most time-consuming cases to handle.
So much, in fact, that it ends up being your Achilles heal…and that stress just spreads to the other cases…not to mention cuts in to your personal life.
But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.
It’s possible for you to cut your workload in half, maybe even more…and STILL help your students make life-changing progress.
In fact, I was able to do it myself…so I could finish my doctorate and start a business while working as a full-time SLP.
In today’s video, I shared how I did it.
I cover:
✅What REALLY needs to happen for language therapy to be a success, and why doing this can be more effective than any one of those self-care Band-Aids you’ve been given.
✅The “ONE THING” my SLP students are focusing on in therapy that amplifies results with LESS work on your part.
✅Why you don’t have to work on every single skill your students are lacking to help them progress.
✅How making this shift allowed me to heal myself and create space for projects I’d been putting off for ages…while still helping students make massive breakthroughs.
Don’t spend any more time crying in your car (or doing your other self-care strategy of choice).

In my signature program, Language Therapy Advance, I help clinicians leverage their expertise and gain more confidence in their clinical skills, and break through therapy plateaus (especially relating to spelling and grammar)…
I also go in to more details about how you can boost grammar, spelling, and literacy skills…as well as create high-impact language therapy systems.
I used to feel like I was banging my head against a concrete wall as I drilled the same old grammar flashcards over and over again. And I was clueless what to do about spelling.
But when I started truly studying how language works during my doctoral program, things all started to make sense.
In Language Therapy Advance, I aim to share those systems with SLPs like you, so you can make massive breakthroughs with your students, establish yourself as a trusted expert, and find more fulfillment in your career.
