Ep. 13: The Love Languages at Work and Home, 3 Essential SLP Lessons, Effectively Teaching Empathy

This episode, we talk about using the love languages at home and work, what we think of them and if they are really important.

Sarie also shared the most important things she's learned from the podcast to make it through her tenure as a CF:
1. Check email only twice a day (Episode 6)
2. Having difficult conversations, and emotionally charged conversations with parents, families, and caregivers (Episode 1 & Episode 9)
3. Saying No (Episode 3)
We mention the book Option B, and something Sarah learned about in this book about empathy and the Danish and how empathy is related to happiness. Sarah took this one step further and has been researching teaching empathy in schools.
