Motherhood, Burnout and the Pressure to Keep Going

Hey everyone, This week, I’m joined by speech pathologist, clinic owner and long-time friend Julia Orsini for a raw and honest conversation about the realities of building a business, leading a team and trying to hold everything together. Julia shares how the drive to grow a successful clinic eventually led to severe burnout and the moment she realised she could no longer keep going without asking for help. ​In this episode, we talk about: 💫 Building a clinic while raising a young family 💫 The hidden cost of constantly striving for more 💫 Recognising the signs of severe burnout 💫 Learning to ask for and accept help 💫 Redefining what a successful business looks like 💫 The importance of genuine supervision and mentorship 💫 Supporting the next generation of speech pathologists 💫 Why sometimes the most important thing we can do is pause

​It’s an important reminder that success is not always about building something bigger. Sometimes, success lookslike protecting your wellbeing, staying connected to your purpose and creating a business that allows you and the people around you to thrive. ​If you would like supervision or to find out more about Julia's group mentoring in speech pathology, you can contact her ⁠here.⁠
