*** This episode is not available for ASHA CEUs.****Guest: Jessi Andricks, MS CCC-SLP - The boundaries between work life and home life haven't just been blurred by the pandemic; they have been obliterated for all the teletherapy SLPs out there trying to survive.  On top of attempting to teach home school, entertaining a toddler, staying out of the pantry (for the 15th time today), SLP's are now responsible for effectively treating their patients in a novel way.  Where can I set up an office that doesn't have a background of dishes or laundry? How can I possibly schedule patients around nap times and "live classroom" meetings? I'm in over my head and need a power-hour with my tribe!  We get it.  We hear your soul crying for a break.  We feel that need too...because we are right there with you!  So, we did something about it!
