🎙️ New episodes of the Mindful Speechies podcast are here!
It has been a big few months on the podcast, and we have had some powerful, thoughtful conversations with speech pathologists working at the intersection of communication and mental health.
Each guest brings a unique perspective from identity and trauma-informed care to working with teens, neurodivergent clients, and complex caseloads. If you're a speech therapist, counsellor, educator, or just curious about this space, these episodes are packed with heart and insight.
👇 Catch up on the latest three episodes:
🧠 Becca Henderson – Real Talk Speech Pathology
Becca works with young people and adults living with disability and mental health challenges. We spoke about the deep connection between identity, confidence, and communication, and why genuine connection is essential to good therapy.
