Show Description:
What if making more as an SLP didn’t require three jobs or a nonstop hustle?
In this honest conversation, Amy and Angelyn unpack the money stories many of us inherited, how “helping professions don’t do it for the money” shapes our choices, and why wanting more isn’t selfish. Amy shares how undercharging led to quiet resentment and burnout, and how aligned rates created space for better care, like personalized videos and deeper parent support. Together they explore where beliefs come from, how to tell thoughts from facts, and simple ways to experiment with income that feels good to you, whether that is your current role, a niche private practice, or a side offer.
You’ll walk away with permission to want more, practical reframes that reduce burnout, and a gentler path to sustainable income that serves you and your clients.

Why wanting more doesn’t make you selfish, it makes you honest
