Private Practice Success Stories

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!
