212: The One About Thinking Outside the Box in Private Practice

Speechie Side Up

In this episode, I am joined by Rachel May, a Speech Language Pathologist with over two decades of experience as we explore the challenges and benefits of pursuing entrepreneurship versus employment.

Rachel discusses her journey and the motivation behind starting her own private practice. She is also joined by her colleagues, Sheila and Amber, who bring extensive expertise in Occupational and Physical Therapy respectively. Their collaborative efforts demonstrate the holistic approach needed for comprehensive child development.

The conversation delves into the importance of interdisciplinary work, the evolving landscape of parenting influenced by societal and environmental factors, and the developmental significance of crawling. They also touch on topics like the impact of dietary and environmental toxins on child development and the benefits of telehealth in providing real-time, practical support to families.

Rachel and her team emphasize the importance of informed decisions and passionate commitment in entrepreneurship, while also acknowledging the security and benefits of a steady job. Visit Speechie Side Up to learn more about this episode.
