Do you ever notice that other professions tend to dismiss students after they've met short term goals? Yet as SLPs, we can have the same students for years?

As of this recording, a new year is upon us and while the whole world seems to be screaming that we can do more, better, and faster I want to remind you to invite in some self kindness. It’s OK to feel excited about the new year, or sad about the new year - or anything in between. Reflection and intentions or goals shouldn’t be a way to shame ourselves into doing more, but rather a chance for a check-in filled with self kindness and grace. And if you are listening to this episode and it’s later in the year - keep listening; the reflection questions in this episode are for anyone wanting to clarify what they want to focus on and what they don’t want to focus on moving forward - no matter what time of the year it is.

In this episode, Sarah answers a listener question about wanting to leave a job, but having fear keep you stuck.
