New Mindful Speechies episode is out, and this time I’m the guest.

I spoke about my path into therapy, neurodivergence, and how personal therapy shaped how I understand myself as a person and clinician.

🧠 You can’t separate communication from mental health.

SLPs work with more than words—we support identity, connection & wellbeing.

That’s what Kizzy Searle & I explore in the Mindful Speechies podcast.
