The back-to-school season can feel like a whirlwind—and if you’re anything like me, you’ve had years where it nearly sent you into a full-on spiral. 😅 In this episode, I’m getting real about what helps me transition without the stress overload and how you can set up your school year with less chaos and more calm.

This isn’t about doing all the things—it’s about doing the right things to support your mental load, your schedule, and your sanity as an SLP.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
✔️ The 3 things I don’t do anymore when prepping for the school year
✔️ My mindset reset before the first day back
✔️ Why “good enough” is the goal
✔️ Simple ways I reduce decision fatigue (and outfit stress!)
✔️ How the Speech Therapy Toolbox sets me up for success from Day 1
