S3 Ep 11You're Not Doing It Wrong: What Every Parent Needs to Hear Before Starting Therapy with Nicole Casey
In this episode, Luba sits down with Nicole Casey, speech language pathologist, clinic owner, and the creator of the Child Led SLP community, for a conversation that is equal parts clinical insight and personal honesty. Nicole unpacks what "child led" therapy actually means, clearing up the common misconception that it equals no structure or goals, and explaining how following a child's lead leads to deeper generalization outside of sessions. The two also get into what parents really need emotionally before strategies can even land, why finding the right therapist fit matters, and how Nicole accidentally went viral on Instagram, built a 100K following, and pulled off a 15,000-person summit while running a clinic and raising two kids. It's a refreshing reminder that you can grow a business and a platform without losing the heart of why you started.Nicole's links:https://childled.orghttps://alignedrubricframework.com(00:01:27) Child-Led Communication Development in Speech Therapy(00:07:49) Building a Supportive Therapy Team for Children(00:10:18) Empowering Parents through Non-Judgmental Support(00:24:02) Speech Therapy Community Thrives Online During Pandemic(00:29:15) From Clinic Owner to Movement Builder(00:35:34) Purposeful Connection Through Compassionate Entrepreneurship(00:38:52) Building Business Success Through Compassionate Growth

S3 Ep 10How to Advocate for Your Child Without Being “That Parent”
Somewhere along the way, parents were made to believe that advocating for their child means being difficult, confrontational, or “that parent.” In this solo episode of The Growth Lab, speech-language pathologist and child advocate Luba Patlakh challenges that narrative and explains why advocacy is not aggression, it’s clarity. Drawing from years of experience supporting families through IEP meetings and school systems, Luba shares the mindset shifts and practical language that can completely change how these conversations unfold. From asking the right questions to regulating emotions in high-stress meetings, this episode gives parents the tools to advocate with confidence, stay steady in difficult rooms, and ensure their child’s needs are truly heard.(00:00:46) Empowered Parental Advocacy for Child Services(00:10:41) Power of Clarity in Effective Advocacy
