But before we get to that, can you please share how you got started in the profession, and then at what point did you start thinking about private practice?

How I got started in the profession.

So I originally thought I was gonna go into physical therapy, so I chose my school-- I'm taking you way back.

Originally chose school that I went to for undergrad for physical therapy specifically, and, um, applied for graduate school two times and did not get in, which was absolutely, like, crushing.

But-- And so I did a couple different things, but while then I was deciding, like, now what, I was working at the mall.

I was working for Clinique at the mall, and I happened to be working with this woman, like, working on her makeup, you know, talking about products, and she was an exercise physiologist at a local hospital.

And I was just telling her about, you know, what had gone on, and she was like, "Have you ever thought about speech pathology?" And I was like, "What?" And we had a good conversation.

Can you-- 'Cause you've just kind of scare- shared like what your schedule is like and whatnot, can you maybe share a little bit about, you know, how has private practice allowed you to change the pace that you're working at?
