We had so much fun meeting new friends and seeing some familiar faces at the Little Owls Play Cafe - Hartland MI Fall Festival! What a perfect Fall day in Michigan. ✨

Ms. Rachel even came along thanks to Motivate Children’s Therapy: Occupational Therapy! Can’t wait to help some of our new friends with occupational therapy and speech therapy services.💙

Grad school taught me how to be an SLP. It did NOT teach me how to run a business 😂👇

And let me tell you there are SO many things I wish someone told me when I was first starting Simpli Speech…

Like how to actually get started once you’ve created an LLC (which I let sit there for TWO YEARS, by the way 🙃)

Or how many different hats you suddenly find yourself wearing when you go from being a clinician to a business owner.

Or how much EASIER things can feel when you start asking questions, connecting with other entrepreneurs, and realizing you don’t have to do every single thing yourself!!!

When I started, I had this nagging feeling that I would never actually get any clients. And now Simpli Speech has gone from literally 2 clients to 200 in less than two years.

Which still feels a little wild to say out loud 😂

But somewhere in the middle of figuring all of this out, I realized something else… I REALLY love the building part too.

I love the ideas, the connections, and figuring things out as I go.

And now I’m in a season where I get to help other clinicians take the ideas they’ve had sitting on their hearts and minds and actually DO something with them ✨

Because I know firsthand how intimidating it can feel when you have this big idea but aren’t quite sure what comes next.

Which is exactly why I created The Mirrorball Method! 🪩 A FREE guide with the business secrets I wish I’d known, the hats nobody warns you about, and the people, and resources I’d recommend if I were starting over.

So if you’ve got an LLC, an idea, or even just that little voice saying “maybe I could do this…” this one’s for YOU!

Comment MIRRORBALL and I’ll send it your way! 🪩💙

I can’t be the only private practice owner whose brain works like this, RIGHT??? 😂

The funny thing is, I really do LOVE all of it. The ideas, the people, the figuring things out as I go, and getting to create something that I never would’ve imagined for myself back in grad school.

Do I occasionally make my own life more complicated because I can’t stop thinking about what ELSE we could do? Absolutely 🙃

But I think that’s one of my favorite things about being an entrepreneur, too. There’s always something new to learn, someone to connect with, or an idea worth getting curious about!!

Anywayyyy, fellow practice owners, PLEASE tell me which one you relate to most. Or better yet, what would you add to this list?! 💙👇

If you’re new around here, there are a few things you should probably know about Simpli Speech ⤵️

Yes, we’re a speech therapy practice in Southeast Michigan supporting primarily kids and some adults with speech, language, AAC, apraxia, stuttering and more.

But Simpli Speech has grown into a whole lot more than that!!

We provide AAC evaluations and trials, partner with schools, preschools and daycares, offer music classes (hi from “Mrs. Rachael” who isn’t actually Miss Rachel 😂🎶), AND create opportunities for SLPs across Michigan who want their work to fit their life, not the other way around.

Buttttt there’s one more thing I’ve been thinking about a LOT lately 👀

Over the years, Simpli Speech has gone from just me, to a group practice, to a business that looks VERY different than what I ever pictured for myself back in grad school.

And somewhere in the middle of building all of this, I realized I really love the building part too 😂

The ideas.
Trying something new.
Figuring it out as I go.
Creating something that ACTUALLY fits the life I want.

Soooo if you’re an SLP with a private practice, side hustle, group, or an idea you haven’t done anything with quite yet... I mighttttt have something coming for you 🤭

Comment ME and I’ll make sure you’re the first to hear about it!

I spent a LOT of my early career thinking there was a “right” way to be an SLP… 🫣

And I know that I’m not the only one (right???)

I thought there was only the ‘right’ path.
A specific way I needed to provide therapy.
Only specific types of jobs I could have.

And because I was a very normal and chill Type A overachiever 😅, I was pretty determined to figure out what that “right” way was and then do it perfectly.

(plot twist: that did not make me particularly happy!!)

Some of the BEST parts of my career have actually come from changing my mind, trying something I wasn’t totally sure about, or following the thing that made me think, wait... this is actually really fun.

I said I’d never work with kids… now I own a pediatric group therapy practice.

I was convinced nobody would come when I started seeing kids on my own… they came.

I thought I needed to have everything figured out before starting a business… I absolutely did not! (But now I help other SLPs figure it out before they make my same mistakes)

I think that’s the thing I wish grad-school Rachael understood:
You don’t have to figure out the perfect version of your SLP career.

You are ALLOWED to change your mind.
You can be really freaking good at something that looks completely different from what your supervisor was good at.
You can try the music group. See the clients on the side. Make the resource. Ask someone to collaborate. Explore the business idea that’s been living in the back of your brain.

And you don’t have to know where every single one of those things is going to lead before you start!!!

I definitely didn’t 🥹

I’m still figuring out what comes next over here, but I think that’s actually becoming one of my favorite parts. I wish I gave myself permission to start earlier. So, here’s your permission to go for your dreams.

So hi, I’m Rachael 🩵 If you’re an SLP who’s also realizing your path doesn’t have to look exactly the way you thought it was “supposed” to, I think we’ll have a lot to talk about around here.

And if AAC, inclusion & the newest idea I decided to run full-speed-ahead with are your thing too, come hang out with us over at simpli.inclusive 👀

I think for a long time I had this idea in my head of what a “good SLP” looked like ⤵️

And surprise surprise… it was basically the version of an SLP I thought I was supposed to become in grad school 🤦‍♀️

I had to be 1000% prepared ALL of the time, say the right thing, follow a rigid lesson plan, know exactly what to do.

Meanwhile, some of my favorite moments in therapy have happened when I’ve done the complete opposite 🙃

When I get overly excited or silly about an activity with a client.

When the activity I prepped lasted 4 seconds before we ended up doing something else my client was waaaay more interested in.

When I stopped worrying that I was doing therapy the “right” way and started trusting myself more.

Because these days I’m realizing more and more that being a good SLP and being an actual human being (quirks and all!) are not mutually exclusive 😂

You don’t have to check your personality at the door… and you definitely don’t have to become some version of a clinician you were shown in grad school that never quite felt like you in the first place.

Don’t get me wrong - you should know your stuff, keep learning, care deeply about your clients.

But also??? BE YOU!! 🩵

Because the parts of you that don’t fit that “perfect SLP” mold might actually be your superpower in the therapy room.

The way you connect with people, your sense of humor, the things you notice, the way your brain works, the ✨energy✨ you bring into a room… THAT is part of the clinician you are, too.

And I think my SLP career got a whole lot better when I finally gave myself permission to believe that.

What’s something uniquely YOU that you bring into the therapy room?👇

My normal audience consists of 4 year olds who request the same song over and over so this was an absolute TREAT.

Next music class is this Thursday at 10:15am in Hartland, MI. Let me know if you’d like to join!

Look out for a few pop up music classes coming up later this year 🤗

What’s your favorite children’s song? 👀
