Join us for a captivating journey of self-discovery and transformation as we sit down with the Co-Founder of Scenius Consulting, Ann-Mari Freebairn, a seasoned practitioner and guide in the realms of personal growth, mindfulness, and conscious leadership. Thirty years ago Ann-Mari faced a traumatic incident that led her to the brink of burnout and chronic fatigue. Seeking solace and healing, she embarked on a life-altering adventure to a remote forest monastery in Thailand, where she immersed herself in the practice of mindfulness meditation. Over the course of a year, her life underwent a remarkable metamorphosis – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Though her formal Buddhist practice has evolved, the principles of mindfulness have remained a steadfast anchor, shaping her journey forward. Having spent years studying under various Asian teachers, Ann-Mari eventually found herself navigating a career in PR and marketing within the charity sector. As her professional journey continued, she recognized the limitations of traditional top-down leadership and became an advocate for a more collaborative, decentralized approach – a concept eloquently termed "Scenius" by Brian Eno, describing the collective genius that emerges from group collaboration. Six years ago, Ann-Mari made a pivotal decision to forge her own path, transitioning from her role as a Marketing and Communications Director to becoming a dedicated coach and consultant. Fueled by her passion for leadership and team dynamics, she co-founded Scenius Consulting and Coaching, an initiative designed to empower leaders and teams by harnessing the collective brilliance within organizations. With a focus on embracing diversity, igniting creativity, and nurturing holistic growth, Ann-Mari and her team champion the idea that true innovation thrives in inclusive and collaborative environments. If you're seeking to unlock your latent potential, embrace a more conscious approach to leadership, and tap into the power of collective genius, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we unravel Ann-Mari's incredible journey of healing, growth, and purpose-driven transformation.

But that's not all – we're delving even deeper into the mystical realm by exploring the Venus Sequence, a path of personal and spiritual evolution that intertwines with the Gene Keys. Ann-Mari, with her expertise and passion, will guide us through the intricacies of this sacred sequence, shedding light on how it can lead us to a life of purpose, fulfillment, and self-realization. Get ready to be inspired, as we uncover how these powerful tools can help us unravel our own unique gifts, navigate challenges, and ultimately, create a more meaningful and authentic life.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereIn this episode we had the great pleasure of welcoming Liz Willis, MS, CCC-SLP/L-BCBA and Stephanie Willis, MS, Literacy Specialist onto our show to discuss all things language and literacy. Throughout this episode they remind us that foundations of language play a critical role in literacy development, and while we as SLPs can play a unique and critical role in helping clients and students in improving literacy skills. Liz and Stephanie are sisters with a shared passion for literacy. You can learn more about them and their professional backgrounds here._____According to a 2001 position statement by ASHA, “the reciprocal and multiple relationships between spoken and written language make it appropriate for SLPs to play an integral role in helping children become literate.” Based on this statement and other similar recommendations from ASHA, it appears as though knowledge in the area of literacy is just one more thing to add to the very long list of what we are responsible for as SLPs. But have no fear, we are here to provide you with the information you need to know! In this episode we will provide a beginner's guide to literacy development for SLPs. We will start by discussing the connection between language and literacy (spoiler alert: it's very intertwined, especially in the early years), and how the presence of speech and language disorders can impact literacy development. We will also share literacy milestones from birth through preschool age, so that you know what to look for in the assessment or therapy process. Lastly, we will describe the speech therapist's role in the area of literacy, as well as provide some fun and engaging ways to incorporate literacy-based activities into therapy with your younger population. Our overall goal is to equip you with the foundational knowledge you need to feel confident and excited about supporting your EI and preschool age clients in this area!This episode is offered for 1 ASHA CMH (equal to .1 ASHA CEU).

For my dear friend Mandy's first podcast appearance I thought, "why not try something new?" So we drank a bunch of wine, picked a movie we didn't know very well, and decided to share our knowledge of it with the world. If you've ever seen "Drunk History" on Comedy Central, the hosts aren't super factual and are borderline unwell so we tried to get as close to that as possible. Hope everyone enjoys this spinoff! Thank you for doing this with me, Mandful
