in today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on a career most people think they understand, but really don’t.

meet alyssa, a speech-language pathologist who works primarily in early intervention. most people assume speech therapists just help kids pronounce their “s” and “r” sounds...but that’s barely scratching the surface. alyssa breaks down what her work actually looks like, from helping kids find their voice to supporting families through high-pressure, emotionally charged moments.

we talk about the misconceptions people have about her role, the weight she carries when progress is slow, and the emotional toll of being expected to “fix” things she has no magic wand for. this one’s honest, heartfelt, and eye-opening.

if you’ve ever underestimated what an slp does (or if you are one and feel unseen) this conversation is for you.
