The Bold SLP Podcast

On this episode, we reflect on the conversations that we've had since releasing the podcast, the importance of mentorship, discuss plans for attending the 2022 ASHA Convention in New Orleans, and upcoming content and interviews we hope to have on the podcast. We're looking forward to recording season 2 over the summer!

Balancing motherhood and our careers, digging deep into how our SLP skills impact our parenting. We hear a lot about parents questioning the skills of clinicians who are not parents themselves. We posit that the only requirement to serve families is empathy and examining of our own biases. So we focus this discussion on how our skills and experiences as SLPs have impacted our parenting decisions.

On this episode you'll get to hear us talk about the various platforms that brought us together from Canada, to New England, to the Southwest somehow we ended up becoming internet friends.

We talk about how Covid-19 impacted us as clinicians and what we are taking away from this time as SLPs during a global pandemic.

The perfect CF Year doesn't exist and we share the lessons from our experiences.

Desi, Ingrid, & Liza share their Grad School Experiences. Desi asks the tough questions about the diversity in our cohorts, the factors that guided us to each of our individual programs, and the most pressing question of all: Would we do it all over again?

Desi shares her story with us.

We get to know the child, the daughter, the student behind the SLP. Ingrid shares her story from little girl sitting in a classroom not understanding a word of English to master clinician working with dual-language learners in the schools for almost 10 years.

We chat with Liza about her upbringing, her schooling, and her journey to SLP.

We talk about our mission, how we got together, and where we want to go!
