that's a wrap on year 10 as a school SLP 🎓

7 years junior high, 3 years high school, and this one was a whirlwind.

This year I stepped into a new role- splitting my time between my resource students at one building and freshman life skills students in an instructional program at another. I loved the balance between the two more than i expected, and honestly? it's a big part of what motivated me to finally launch , because I needed ready-to-use leveled resources that actually worked for mixed groups and mixed caseloads, and I couldn't find them anywhere.

So I built them.

On top of that I've been doing social media work for the , vended my first booth at desert days, connected with the most incredible SLPs and business owners, and have been selling physical products I'm genuinely so proud of.

It was a lot. swipe through some of my favorite moments from the year. 🤍

Raise your hand if you've spent more time finding the right activity than actually running the session. 🙋‍♀️

Planning for mixed-level groups every single week is a lot... especially when your caseload is already full and your schedule has zero wiggle room.

That's exactly why I built Thoughtful Talk.

Every lesson comes with 3 leveled versions, a warm-up, activity, and reflection sheet - all ready to go. Google Slides + printable PDFs. No prep, no scrambling, no Sunday night panic.

Just open it and teach. 🌸

Happy National SLP Day to the people managing full caseloads, mixed groups, and Monday morning sessions that require a miracle. 🌸

You show up every single day for students who are still finding their voice. You adapt, advocate, and make it work even when the schedule says otherwise.

Your caseload is full. Your impact is fuller.

Drop a 🌸 below if you're a secondary SLP. I see you today.

Woke up this morning still thinking about yesterday. 🌵
Coffee in hand, recapping Day 1 of Desert Days because wow. ☀️
The resort, the energy, the people… it all exceeded what I imagined. Sessions were so good, and dinner was the perfect end to a full, beautiful day.
Grateful doesn’t even cover it. Day 2 starts soon and I’m ready. 🤍
