Why SLP Self-Care is a Movement
Hallie & fellow SLP Kimberly Kean discuss the importance of self-care for SLPs
This week on SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with the inspiring Kim from Speech Dreamers to talk all things SELF-CARE. 🧘♀️✨ From setting healthy boundaries to resisting the urge to be the “yes” person at work, this episode is your permission slip to start choosing YOU. 💖 Whether you're hiding in a closet between IEPs or sipping coffee in your car post-session, this episode will make you laugh, cry (maybe), and rethink how you’re treating yourself as an SLP. Bookmark this one—it’s your burnout prevention plan in podcast form!
Bullet Points to Discuss:
- - prioritizing yourself serves everyone
- - stress reduction activities as non negotiables
Key Talking Points:
- The silent epidemic: why so many SLPs tear up when asked, “What do you do for yourself?”
- How “polite no’s” and redirecting requests can change your work life.
- Saying goodbye to bringing evals home (and no, the world won’t end).
- Using visual task management to balance red-yellow-green priorities.
- Creating routines that support rest before burnout hits.
- Why CFs and veteran SLPs alike need to draw a line between “helpful” and “taken advantage of.”
