Send us a textWhat if Mother's Day was never supposed to be about flowers and gifts at all? This special episode reveals the forgotten origins of Mother's Day in Australian hospitals, where Janet Hayden collected gifts for lonely mothers who had lost children to war—a far cry from today's commercial celebrations.Beyond the greeting cards lies a profound truth: motherhood carries both extraordinary power and invisible weight. With over 6.5 million mothers in Australia—one in six raising children alone and one in three families navigating developmental needs—the statistics tell only part of the story. Each number represents real women making countless unseen sacrifices daily.The biological toll of parenting is rarely discussed but critically important. Chronic stress literally changes cellular function, with parents of children with disabilities facing significantly higher risks of depression and burnout. This is why self-care isn't selfish—it's survival. Speaking kindly to yourself, resting without guilt, and asking for help before breaking aren't luxuries but necessities that allow you to show up fully for your children.We journey across cultures to witness the beautiful diversity of mothering: Indian mothers balancing multiple roles while honoring traditions, Nepali mothers nurturing with quiet dignity, Chinese mothers sacrificing for their children's futures, African communities sharing mothering responsibilities, and First Nations mothers preserving cultural wisdom across generations. Each expression carries its own wisdom and strength.Motherhood extends beyond birth. Some mother through adoption, like my own mother who chose me. Some mother in classrooms or therapy rooms. Some mother through grief after loss. Your presence today—how you speak to yourself, honor your needs, set boundaries—creates ripples through generations. When you break negative cycles, your child gains freedom to do the same.Ready to transform your parenting journey? The Empowered Parent Program helps you shift from self-doubt to self-worth, creating lasting change not just for yourself but for generations to come. Because your love, though sometimes unseen, shapes your child's entire sense of safety in the world. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

Send us a textWhat happens when you're the only speech pathologist for hundreds of kilometers? Meet Bethany Burrell, founder of Speak To Bee, who travels across 200 kilometers of rural Victoria supporting children and adults with complex communication needs. Her journey reveals the hidden struggle of families in remote communities facing five-year waiting lists, three-hour drives to specialists, and profound isolation.Bethany shares how her own neurodivergence became her superpower, creating therapy sessions that look nothing like traditional table-work. "If they want to be under the table with a blanket over the top, that's completely fine. If we're walking on the beach having fun, that's fine too," she explains. This flexible approach helps her connect with clients who might otherwise struggle in conventional settings.The boundaries between professional and personal blur dramatically in small towns where your GP might also treat your clients, and grocery shopping becomes a therapy reunion. Yet these close connections create rich, meaningful relationships that sustain both therapist and client through challenges. Bethany's candid discussion about burnout—the warning signs, the recovery process, and the boundaries necessary for survival—offers valuable wisdom for any helping professional.For speech pathologists considering rural practice, Bethany paints an enticing picture of professional growth, personal development, and the incomparable reward of helping someone order their first hot drink or say "I love you, mum" for the first time. Her story reminds us that sometimes the most significant impact happens far from the spotlight, where dedicated professionals quietly transform lives one conversation at a time.Ready to explore how you might make a difference in underserved communities? This episode will challenge your assumptions about rural practice and might just inspire your next career move.speaktobee.com danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

Send us a textSpeech Pathologist Nikita Pinto reveals the critical pre-linguistic skills children need to develop before they can speak their first words. These foundation skills are essential building blocks that support all future communication development.• Reacting to sounds and people in the environment forms the basis of listening and understanding• Responding to people and turn-taking establishes the back-and-forth pattern essential for conversation• Attention span is crucial as children need to stay focused to absorb language information• Joint attention allows children to share experiences with caregivers about objects or events• Playing with toys provides exploration opportunities and contexts for language learning• Understanding familiar words precedes the ability to speak them• Vocalizing and making different sounds develops into first wordsParents often focus exclusively on getting their child to say words, missing the importance of building connection first. Children need to hear words repeatedly in different contexts for approximately six months before they can use them meaningfully. Using facial expressions, animated voices, and body language ("affect") helps captivate children's attention and makes words "stick."Instead of asking lots of questions, provide information by commenting and naming things in your child's environment. Use the "four-to-one rule" - offer four pieces of information before asking one question. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

Indigenous cultures often have a very different view of raising children who receive diagnoses of autism or other neurodivergent conditions. These differences impact how families and children are supported, but also may result in difficulties when families need to interface with non-indigenous cultural professionals and systems to acquire services that may be helpful. Barry and Dave discuss these issues with Grant Bruno and Otilia Johnson, two parent-professionals from indigenous cultures in Canada and the US. A particular emphasis in the discussion is on what non-indigenous professionals can do to better serve these communities, as well as what can be learned from indigenous values and beliefs about raising children.Learn more on our websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Feeding Challenges and When to Seek Help Acknowledging that not all feeding journeys are easy, Annie discusses common challenges such as picky eating and limited diets.

For these challenges, Annie recommends seeking support from health professionals to address both the child's and parents' needs. Practical Strategies for Parents Annie and Meg share practical tips, including sensory-rich experiences to engage children without relying on screens. Simple activities like music, storytelling, and descriptive language create meaningful interactions around food. Annie emphasizes that making mealtime engaging and low-pressure can help reduce feeding struggles. This episode offers parents invaluable guidance on starting solids and overcoming common feeding hurdles. Annie's expertise reassures parents as they embark on this journey, emphasizing the importance of connection, patience, and trust.

Discover how the power of positive language can transform your mindset and well-being with Kimberly Wilkerson, the visionary behind Token Clothing Company. Learn practical strategies for harnessing the influence of words in your daily life.Hey friend! Did you know our words have a powerful effect on our brains and bodies? I recently had an chat with speech language pathologist Kimberly Wilkerson about the impact of language. Kimberly shared some fascinating research on how both positive and negative words physically alter our brain activity, hormones, heart rate and more. Even just watching stressful content can elicit the same reactions as if we were directly involved. So we have to be very intentional about the words and media we expose ourselves to. The good news is we can also harness language to lift and empower ourselves and others! Kimberly created a clothing line called Intelligent Fashion that has uplifting phrases like "I am loved" printed on the inside lining. The goal is to elevate women's self-perception through positive language touching the skin. We discuss specific strategies around self-talk, overcoming negative thought patterns, and the importance of believing our own inherent beauty and worthiness. I'd love to hear your biggest takeaways around using words consciously. What changes might you make to your self-talk or media consumption after watching? Looking forward to your insights!___________00:00 - The Impact of Words and Communication01:25 - The Power of Language and Intelligent Fashion06:03 - The Role of Nonverbal Communication09:36 - Understanding Intelligent Fashion13:59 - Impact of Intelligent Fashion on Women15:14 - Planting Seeds of Positivity18:05 - The Power of Self-Affirmation22:39 - Impact of Words on the Brain26:58 - Harnessing the Power of Positive Language29:37 - Token Clothing Company Vision29:53 - Pursuing Passion in Fashion and Speech Pathology32:47 - Global Expansion and Language Integration39:00 - Awareness and Refashioning Thoughts42:24 - Challenging Negative Beliefs43:58 - The Power of Asking Questions44:49 - Seeking Truth through Questions46:04 - Repetition and Subconscious Change49:11 - Call to Action and Community Building___________Kimberly Wilkerson, a former speech language pathologist turned entrepreneur and the visionary behind intelligent fashion at token clothing company.

Danie's Natural Juice Blends founder Danielle Marshall shares how a pre-diabetic diagnosis launched her into the world of food entrepreneurship. In the driver's seat - we have Certified Juice Therapist, Danielle “Danie” Marshall - whose strong passion for holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit led her down the entrepreneurial path. After receiving a Type-II pre-diabetes diagnosis in 2011, Danie began cold-pressed juicing as part of a lifestyle change, and as a result, dropped 60 lbs. and was no longer pre-diabetic. Friends and family noticed Danie's weight loss success with juicing and began asking her to make juices for them. As a result, Danie's Natural Juice Blends was born. Danie takes us along her #dreamdriving journey and the many life lessons she's learned along the way as she's on the way to building her natural juicing empire.
