May is Better Speech and Hearing Month, and on this episode, we’re joined by our amazing SLPs, Leigh Root and Leah Inger. They break down what speech-language pathologists really do, who they work with, and why their role is so important across the lifespan. 

From helping kids develop communication skills to supporting adults with speech, cognition, and swallowing, Leigh and Leah share what a day in their world looks like—along with the challenges, wins, and impact they see every day. It’s a great listen for anyone curious about the profession or looking to better understand the vital role SLPs play in patient care.
