Course Description
In this episode, Michelle is joined once again by the petite powerhouse that is Cheris Frailey MA CCC-SLP, Program Director with the Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations for the State of Colorado, in Jefferson County, CO, who shared insights on Conflict Resolution in Episode 26. Today Cheris shifts gears and focuses on bringing balance to our clinical selves. We uncover the true definition of balance, why we seek it and need all 4 areas of it, and then how to apply our new understanding of balance into our daily grind. Take a breath, run a bit slower, turn the volume up, and let her soothing words hit just the right spot!
