Some days it feels like I’m living a double life. I’m in work mode -- teaching grad students or coaching SLPs -- and at the same time my brain is screaming about school picture day forms, dinner plans, or how to get the kids to practice on time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re straddling two boats (bad visual, but you get it), this episode is for you.

Today I’m talking about the mental gymnastics of switching between roles -- SLP, mom, partner, caregiver, all of it. And more importantly, why it feels so hard (spoiler: your brain isn’t broken, it’s human) and what we can actually do about it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why context switching drains your energy (especially for ADHD brains)
• How unrealistic expectations create guilt — and what to do instead
• 3 strategies to make the juggle feel less like chaos
• Mindset shifts that actually make strategies stick

If This Resonates…

If this hit home, I’d love to help you untangle the work-life blend in a way that actually works for you. Book a free consult—we’ll figure it out together.
