Mindful Speechies: A Podcast about Speech Therapy and Mental Health

In this pilot episode of The Mindful Speechies Podcast, co-hosts Andrew Watt and Kizzy Searle open up about how they each discovered the importance of mental health in speech therapy, why they decided to launch this show, and what they hope listeners will gain along the way. They touch on how personal experiences shaped their practice and lay out their vision for a supportive community of speech pathologists who want to integrate mental health insights into day-to-day therapy. Listen in for a real, conversational look at the intersection of mental health and communication—and a sense of what’s to come in future episodes. Future episodes will contain candid, organic conversations on how mental health and speech therapy intersect—guided by our own stories, genuine reflections, and clinical experiences. The Mindful Speechies Podcast:Instagram: @mindfulspeechiesConnect with Your Hosts:Kizzy Searle Website: www.attunedspeech.com.au Email: [email protected]  Instagram: @attunedspeech  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kizzysearle/ Andrew Watt Website: ⁠www.unitytherapy.com⁠ Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠  X: ⁠https://x.com/SLPAndrew⁠  LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/acwatt/⁠ Enjoy the episode!---We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this podcast is produced, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
