Burnout is one of the most common concerns speech-language pathologists share. But is the problem always workload? Or could it sometimes be misalignment?
In this episode of Brainstorms: Functional Neurorehab for SLPs, host Renee Garrett, MSEd, CCC-SLP, CBIS sits down with Dr. Angelyn Franks, SLPD, CCC-SLP to explore the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling out of alignment in your professional role. Together, they unpack why burnout does not always come from too much work. Sometimes it comes from a mismatch between your values, strengths, scope of practice, and the environment you are working in.
Renee and Dr. Franks discuss the clinical, organizational, and identity-level factors that can leave clinicians feeling depleted. You will hear practical ways to distinguish true workload strain from purpose drift, along with reflective questions to help you evaluate your own professional alignment.
Whether you work in medical, school-based, private practice, or neuro settings, this conversation offers a thoughtful framework for assessing where you are and what recalibration might look like without making impulsive career decisions.
If you have ever wondered, “Is it the job… or is it me?” this episode will help you step back, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
