Therapist burnout is prevalent among SLPs, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals supporting K-12 kids.
That’s why I was so excited to have special guest Angie Merced on the De Facto Leaders podcast for episode 92.
Angie is a Certified Life Coach and School-Based SLP. She lives with her husband and two little girls in the Rochester, NY area.
Her passion is to rescue SLPs who are feeling overwhelmed, overworked and trapped in a career they’re “supposed” to love. She shows her clients how to reclaim their energy, create more time and generate resources.
Her mission is to eliminate the culture of burnout in our field and help smart SLPs do less, be more, and thrive with joy.
