Burnout Prevention and Strategies for Su...

Jena Castro-Casbon
About this episode

Feeling burned out and stressed? This episode is especially for you!

Today I am joined by burnout expert Dr. Angelyn Franks. Dr. Franks is the owner of the SLP Self-Care Society and specializes specifically in early career burnout. 

In this episode, Dr. Angelyn Franks offers essential advice for private practice owners to combat stress and achieve sustainable work-life balance. 

In addition to being an expert in burnout prevention strategies and stress management for SLPs, Dr. Franks has been a speech language pathologist for over 14 years. 

Through the SLP Self-Care Society, she’s developed comprehensive support programs, including 1:1 coaching and group programs. Her mission is to share practical wisdom and tools to help struggling SLPs prioritize self-care, manage stress effectively, and set healthy boundaries.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

  • Why burnout often stems from a lack of self-care education
  • Unrealistic expectations SLPs develop in graduate school
  • The importance of understanding personal values and how to align them with your work
  • What to do if you feel your actions are not aligned with your values or if you have a hard time identifying your values
  • Dr. Franks’ burnout strategies specifically for private practice owners

Don’t let burnout push you out of a career you once loved. I hope Dr. Franks’ insights inspire you to better manage your life and career to stay free from burnout!

If you would like to know more about our programs and how we help support SLPs and OTs who want to start or grow a private practice that aligns with your values, please visit www.IndependentClinician.com/resources.
