From Losing Her Job to Launching Her Pra...

Jena Castro-Casbon
About this episode

Have you wondered if it’s possible to launch your private practice sooner than planned? Today’s guest will encourage you to trust your gut and go for it! 

Joining me is Laura D’Surney, SLP and owner of Play on Words Speech Therapy, her private practice just outside of Richmond, VA. Laura, an alum of the Start Your Private Practice Program, was hit with the curveball of losing her job shortly after returning from her honeymoon! She chose to go all in and launch her practice, despite not feeling as ready as she’d planned. 

In this episode, Laura shares how she turned her unexpected job loss into a thriving practice and offers tips for setting boundaries and marketing as a small business owner.

Laura D'Surney is a licensed speech pathologist and private practice owner of Play on Words Speech Therapy. She currently provides mobile speech, language, and reading services to the Richmond, VA area. She also develops and sells speech therapy materials on TPT and has provided professional development for other SLPs on speech sound disorders. 

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

  • The boundaries Laura has built into her business to protect her personal needs
  • How to take the scary feeling out of marketing by taking a natural approach
  • Laura’s advice for those who are unsure if they can really start their practice right now
  • Taking time to step back from comparison syndrome and acknowledging your progress

Whether you’re wondering if now is the right time or if life forces your hand, don’t be afraid to take the next step toward private practice! I hope Laura’s story inspires you to follow your heart and lean in to the support and help available to you.
