150: Filling Your Self-Care Bucket as an...

SLP Now
About this episode

What does it look like to practice self-care as an SLP, and what does self-kindness have to do with it?

As school-based SLPs, there are a LOT of activities that we're pouring our energy into. It’s super important that we take care of ourselves in between all that giving, otherwise we’ll find ourselves on the fast track to burnout.

That’s why this conversation about self-care for SLPs matters so much. The only way you can show up for others is by showing up for yourself; you have to fill that bucket of energy before it’s empty, and that’s what we’re talking about in this episode!

On this episode, Marisha and Laura discuss:

  • Why self-kindness and self-care are individual journeys
  • How you can pour into your self-care bucket throughout the day
  • Ways that Marisha and Laura practice self-care
  • Why getting curious is an important part of the self-care process
  • Getting off the hamster wheel of ineffective self-care (that actually make you feel worse!)
