SLP Survival Guide: Shannon Kennedy on Tools, Burnout & CF Year Lessons
On this episode of The All About Kids Podcast, we’re joined by Shannon Kennedy, a certified speech-language pathologist and former Clinical Fellow here at All About Kids. Shannon takes us through her journey into the world of speech therapy — from her early inspiration to that powerful moment when everything clicked and she knew she was right where she was supposed to be.
We talk about what it’s really like during your CF year, what she wishes she had known going into it, and how she’s learned to navigate one of the most important — and often overlooked — aspects of the job: the parent-therapist dynamic.
Shannon also opens up about misconceptions around the SLP field, how to spot burnout, and what keeps her inspired. Plus, she shares her favorite tools and toys for therapy sessions, and gives thoughtful advice for grad students and future CFs stepping into the field. Whether you’re an aspiring SLP, a seasoned therapist, or someone who just wants to understand the heart behind this work — this episode has something for you.
