😭 Anyone else falling to pieces and the school

😭 Anyone else falling to pieces and the school year hasn’t even started yet?! 💆🏽‍♀️

In all seriousness, my favorite #educator bestie just announced she isn’t coming back this year and I’m heart broken! 💔 I need every single member of my team like I need @crumblcookies and I can’t imagine this school year without every single one of the incredible paraprofessionals, teachers, therapists, and administrators I’ve been so fortunate to work with over the years. 💥

Anybody else feel like they would fall to pieces without their educator bestie?! 👇

👋 5 Things I wish I had known as a new SLP 📣

📣 Life skills calendar homework?! 🙋🏽‍♀️ I got you!

If you are in need of life skills carryover practice to send home with your students for ALL 12 months of the year, you should definitely check out my Life Skills Calendar Homework! 📆

Each month of the year contains 35 different activities per month to encourage students to engage in a variety of life skills tasks, including basic communication, using a telephone, shopping, meals and cooking, safety signs, sequencing events, writing and addressing letters and cards, and social participation. This resource is the perfect addition to work on carryover of life skills at home and in the community with middle school students, high school students, and young adults!

📣 Honestly though, our jobs as SLPs are incredible, and when I hear about SLPs that have lost their passion, I can’t help but encourage them to pivot. 👊

Do I have an SLP bestie that I call and complain to when I need validation?! Yep! 👯‍♀️ Do I get stuck in a rut with a student or home health client and sit on the couch at night and vent to my husband?! Totally! 🙋🏽‍♀️ Do I cry in my car when I question if I’m doing enough for every single child and adult on my caseload?! Absolutely! 💯

The beautiful thing about this field is that it is SO diverse, and if we are unhappy with the school we are at, or the rate we are reimbursed, or the hours we are working, we can 💯 take control of our destiny and make a change. 👊 I can’t even tell you how many changes I’ve made in the past 11 years as an SLP to finally 🙌 get to the place where I feel like I’ve got ALL the things I need fill my bucket 🪣 and help me be best therapist I can be! ✌️

As this next school year approaches, I encourage you to really reflect on whether or not you still have that passion for this amazing field we get to work in and the incredible lives we get to be a part of. If you don’t, I promise you that being open to a little change in this field may be just what you need to reignite that flame and bring back that passion! 🔥

Anyone with me?! 👇 What did you do to pivot to and find that passion!!
