If you're studying for the SLP Praxis® exam, I highly recommend building a habit of meditation.

I started meditating in graduate school.

I didn’t exactly know what I was doing, but I trusted the guided meditations on the Insight Timer app to ground me as I navigated the grad school storm.

Without my meditation habit, I wouldn’t have cultivated the intuition that’s helped me:
💖 Create a Praxis study plan aligned with my schedule
💖 Overcome limiting beliefs keeping me in self-doubt and scarcity
💖 Use my intuitive guidance to answer Praxis test questions correctly (leading to a 172 score)
💖 Trust myself enough to take BIG LEAPS OF FAITH to become the SLP my inner child marvels at every day.

Meditation has been one of my favorite tools for visualizing my success until I am living in that reality.

Just 3 minutes a day of mindful breathing can make a difference!

P.S. I love helping aspiring SLPs pass the Praxis so they can create their dream careers in speech pathology.

If you want to pass the SLP Praxis® the first time, DM me the word “COACHING”

💖 And let’s chat to see how I can coach you through your limiting beliefs, help you create a personalised study plan, and fast track your way to SLP Praxis® success and your dream career in speech pathology!

Hi yall! I'll be popping into Q&A groups to help Praxis Preppers get to their passing score! This is also good for practicing SLPs who need a little brush up on their skills ;)

I'm curious about the impact of EFT tapping and hypnosis on test performance! I am a hypnosis and EFT practitioner and used hypnosis techniques to help my clients connect to their WHY. I've noticed their intuition strengthened and confidence increased after taking the practice Praxis tests.

Hello everyone!

I was recently talking to my supervisor about graduate school and how for a lot of SLPs, they learn way more in the "real world" than in graduate school. Obviously, we need a degree to get our license and everything but we were discussing whether or not these 2 year programs are doing students justice. By that I mean, I think there should be more courses for cultural competency/humility, multilingualism, neurodiversity, fluency, etc. Additionally, having more intentional externship semesters for a specific setting would be beneficial (e.g. private practice, hospital/clinics, and schools). The rationale behind this is that my program has 3 on-campus clinic semesters, 1 externship (private practice or medical) semester, and 1 student teaching semester. While I am still deciding what setting I want to go in, I think that having 1 semester in a hospital or clinic, 1 semester in private practice, and 1 semester at a school would set a lot of us up for success especially when considering a CFY. But with all this considered, extending the master's programs might lead to more burn out.

So, my questions for you all are:
1. Do you think graduate programs are setting us up for true success? If yes, please explain.
2. If no, what do you think can be changed?
