#033 Ever dealt with a traumatic experience and wondered how to respond? Join our guest, Rachel Archambault, a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and Program Specialist, as we explore the world of trauma-informed care. Rachel narrates her career transition in therapy and how a life-changing event at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School redefined her approach in this field.

Rachel is sharing how the trauma she experienced helped her discover her purpose in life. She realized she was not interested in the therapy side or the monotony of being a SLP. And now, as a program specialist, she doesn’t feel like she needs to be in treatment and she gets to present trauma-informed care to all of her district, especially the SLPs that she supports and advocates for.

We are going to learn about what trauma-informed care is and its importance as rehab professionals, practical ways to manage stress and trauma, and how therapy can be a rock during tumultuous times. Don't miss this insightful conversation!

#032 Kara Infante shares her career journey from military wife and physical therapist to SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) and podcaster. Being a military spouse and starting a family made her want to have flexibility in a job that allows her to still be there for her family.
Kara is sharing how the “feast and famine” world of seeing patients was not working for her anymore. And how she spent many hours thinking about the identity shift and the guilt of not using the degree she spent so much money and time for. However, she knew she needed to take this risk because her mental sanity was at stake.
We are going to learn about the reasons for being an entrepreneur and a SAHM, the legality of your business, and how to get clear on the reason why you want to start a business.
