Tia Javier is a private practitioner and one of only 91 Spanish speaking speech-language pathologists in the state of Virginia. She is actually someone who I first came across when she joined the Start Your Private Practice program. Tia saw a huge need in the market for a bilingual private practice. In this episode, she shares how her student loans motivated her to make this decision, what a typical day in her practice looks like and her plans for the future. I really like Tia’s attitude and how she doesn’t look at obstacles as a set-back but instead figures out a way to overcome them.

As you build your private practice, you’ll undoubtedly face challenges but as you weave through and navigate those you’ll become better equipped and ready to take on new ones that come your way. In this episode, I am talking about the similarities between playgrounds and your private practice and sharing a few encouraging words for your journey. What we discuss:
