Starting a private practice isn't what it used to be. Today's clinicians are starting private practices much quicker, easier, and cheaper than before. And they aren't guessing their way through it or getting stuck in analysis paralysis, they're following a tried and true roadmap in order to save time, money, and frustration. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel or struggle to figure out how to start a private practice on your own. We've helped thousands of SLPs and OTs through this process and now we want to help you too. For a limited time, I'm offering a free copy of our private practice roadmap, specifically for SLPs and OTs who are curious about private practice and want to see what the journey looks like.

Renee Bruder is a speech language pathologist with a neurodiversity affirming private practice near Salt Lake City, Utah. Renee started her career in the service industry before discovering the field of speech language pathology and going to graduate school. From there, she worked in the schools, but she found that to be unfulfilling and stressful, so she started a private practice. I've gotten to know Renee during her time in the Grow Your Private Practice program, where it has been so amazing to watch her private practice grow to be exactly what she needs. In this episode, Renee talks about how being in private practice has allowed her to prioritize her mental health and self-care.
She also discusses how she's embraced the neurodiversity movement and shifted her practice to work more with autistic children and gestalt language processors. And she talks about her goals of expanding her income streams, hiring, and moving to a larger office space. If you've been thinking about starting or growing a private practice and you want to make sure that you're prioritizing your health in the process, this is a must-listen episode, so stay tuned. I'm Jenna Castro-Kasbon, speech language pathologist, business coach, and creator of the Start Your Private Practice System. And I'm on a mission to turn stuck SLPs into successful private practitioners. If you're tired of dealing with high productivity requirements, high caseload sizes, and low pay, it's time to take control of your professional, personal, and financial life and finally get the freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance that you deserve by working with private clients in your own practice.

And so can we start the interview by you sharing a little bit about like what that journey to becoming a speech therapist was like? And then tell us when did you start thinking about private practice?
Yeah. So I consider myself a late bloomer to Going to college, I was waving tables and bartending and I ran a ski lodge on Mount Hood and did all the kind of service industry things before I really was starting to think about, hmm, I need maybe just a little bit more. I remember talking to a guest one night. I was bartending and he's like, what do you do? Anyone that's worked in the service industry knows that question is like, oh, what do you do? I'm a I'm a server. I'm a bartender. That's my job. That's my career. And that question just hit me a little bit differently that time. And I just felt kind of stuck.
