Hi all,

I hope you all are well!

I have had a really hard time in my CFY due to a lack of supervision, harassment, etc.

If anyone has any openings or contacts in NY, (I'm in Nassau County) please let me know! (Moving isn't an option due to financial and personal matters).

If not, I'd also appreciate words of encouragement!

Thank you and enjoy your weekend!

As a certified hypnosis practitioner, I've helped aspiring SLPs pass the SLP Praxis® exam using visualization strategies. Research hypnosis helps test takers reduce their test and general anxieties (Pachaiappan, et al., 2023).

What red flags should I look for when interviewing new companies? Any hiring "tactics" I should be aware of?

As we see so many posts about New Year’s resolutions and “New Year-New Me” plans, we find ourselves comparing our current actions to our friends/family/colleagues.

❌ Stop.

I want you to know that I struggle with this too -and yes, I know everyone thinks I’m an overachiever- but I also have ADHD and too many spinning plates sometimes put me in a frozen state of overwhelm. Then I look around and it seems like everyone else has their life together and I’m scrambling to catch up.

This of course is not healthy -and you can easily see that for me … so why can’t you see this for yourself? 🤔

So I’m putting this out there for you, for me, for us.

We are doing a great job at whatever we are focused on right now.

🪫 Maybe it’s to refill our batteries
😷 focus on our health
💕 a little more time with family
📚 or to just finish that book we’re reading.

👆those are all true for me!

And when you are ready … you will be back to being ON FIRE! 🔥 🔥🔥

And we’ll be here to cheer you on!

🥰 ❤️ Post some love in the comments below for those of us who are waiting a little longer to plug into 2024!!

Hello everyone! If you celebrate Halloween, then Happy Halloween! Even if you don't, I hope y'all are having a great day!

For those of you that don't know, my instagram is @arybspeech and I have been sharing my grad school journey to my audience since 2021. Recently, I asked my audience if they had any questions about grad school, externships, the Praxis, student teaching, etc. I wanted to ask the Liricare community to weigh in on some of these topics since we all have different experiences and advice on how to navigate becoming an SLP. For more specific questions about different disorders like dysphagia, voice, etc., I will direct my questions in those Q&A groups.

So, my first question for you all is: What advice would you give an aspiring or licensed SLP if they are struggling with imposter syndrome?
