Betting On Yourself with Daj Mitchell

Jena Castro-Casbon
About this episode

If you’ve been feeling stuck recently, it may be time to bet on yourself and explore what other options are available to you!

My guest today, Daj Mitchell, is a true go-getter! Daj is an SLP and also owns a coaching business,  Co-Treat Corner. She is a great example of someone who had a dream, went for it, continues to go for it, and is now also showing other people what's possible. 

In this episode, Daj and I discuss how she contributes to our field outside of seeing clients and how therapists can evolve themselves to get more out of their careers.

Daj Mitchell grew up in Chicago, Illinois. She currently lives in a little town next to Springfield.  Daj works in the school system and also has her own private practice. Besides coaching other SLPs, she does additional online business work like giving presentations, promoting time-saving tools, website design, and much more.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

  • Daj’s background with SLP and how she got into private practice
  • Her advice to those who keep putting off private practice
  • The different projects Daj is working on outside of seeing clients
  • What happens when you allow yourself to evolve 
  • A preview of what Daj’s week looks like
  • A slow approach to using more tech as an SLP

There are so many different ways to be in private practice, to have a business, and to live your life as an SLP or OT. I hope this episode inspires you to evolve beyond where you are right now so you can have a fulfilling career and life.
