How to Have a Calmer Weekend

Sarah and Sarie try a variety of ways to improve their weekends to get more rest, more fun, and more energy on their weekends. What did they try? What worked? What didn't? You’ll learn 5 tips for having a calmer weekend that have helped the hosts, and we hope they work for you, too.

The hosts also talk about repelling clients - why it's important, and how it helps you attract the right clients for you.  

Also, is it a good idea to identify with your work? Are work and worth related? Should they be?

Sarah shares a series of easy lessons for students with Autism (a done for you workbook that is both affordable and research based).

In this episode, Sarah and Sarie discuss what a realistic evening routine looks like for SLPs, and what they are trying. Instead of trying long, drawn-out evening routines, they try several recommended routines and keep it real with something that will (hopefully) work for you, too!
