Excerpts from the Episode

(*Paraphrased highlights)

I wish someone could have told me to push back against lesson plans and themed learning as this was expected in my speech field when I first started. I would have loved to have been taught how to do play based therapy from the get go and implement it from Day One.
I get a glimpse into these tiny lives every day and even when we have no progress we at least have fun! I get to act a fool and play all day and what’s better than that?
I don’t book my full day. I will work in 4 hour chunks sometimes but I always leave midday for my doggos and I make sure I get time outside no matter what the weather is, in my favorite place (my screened in furnished porch).
I also take on passion projects like musicals and posting my dancing and songs to IG because I’m proud of the way I express myself even if I’m no Broadway star. And most importantly, I go to therapy. Everyone should go to therapy.
