Show Notes

In this episode, I want to discuss being terrified of what’s next. How to move from being terrified to developing a crisis plan. There have been A LOT of changes recently due to COVID-19 and things have changed in the world of SLP.  For some...it is a loss of jobs, for some, there is an increase in workload and risk.
