What happens when one bilingual SLP decides she’s tired of feeling alone? She builds a whole movement! In this feel-good episode, Hallie sits down with Sara Gonzalez—a certified Spanish-English SLP in New York and the powerhouse behind the B.E.A.M. SLP Program aka Bilingual Empowerment through Allied Mentorship 💥

Sara shares her journey from grad school confusion to co-founding a nationwide mentorship community for bilingual SLPs. If you've ever thought, “Am I bilingual enough?” or felt like the only one navigating the unique challenges of dual-language service… this episode will wrap you in the warmest “you’re not alone” hug. Expect real talk and inspiring moments.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a CF still finding your voice, or just curious about what it’s like to be a bilingual SLP—this one’s for you. ❤️
