437: On communication and growth with Speech & Language Pathologist Dr. Katrina Miller

My dudes! TODAY IS THIS PODCAST'S 10TH BIRTHDAY! How did that happen!!

From a show that existed to support parents of young children starting in 2015… To one that celebrates the doers and the dreamers like the one you will hear from today… It has been a wild ride.

For those of you who've been here since the beginning, please know how grateful I am that you've rolled with the changes. You rock! And those of you who are new, or new-ish – welcome! I'm glad you're here. You rock too!

Also we've got a new name and a new home – more about that below!

Best of all we’re kicking it all off with an amazing guest..I have waited so long and now it's finally time to introduce to you – Speech and Language Pathologist Dr. Katrina Miller!

Here's a bit from Katrina's about page. I'm so inspired each and every time I read this..”Dr. Miller’s commitment to communication empowerment spans 25 plus years and has improved the lives of countless patients, as well as the over 300 novice speech-language pathologists she has trained. The daughter of first-generation educators, the value of education was instilled in her as a young person and continues to fuel her drive within her profession. It was within her household that she learned the significance of effective communication and how it could dictate the course of a person’s life and livelihood.”

Katrina shares with us what it's like to found an entire school within a university, how it all came about, and where this journey began for her. It goes deep and gets back to who Katrina is as a person and the importance she sees in fostering human communication.

About this podcast's new home

Practical Intuition with Kay has become Art Creativity & Wellbeing.I am doing a happy dance about this! Seriously if emoji were thing I could do in these show notes you would see so many dancing-people, magic-sparkles, and heart emoji right here

Last summer I started a newsletter called Art Creativity & Wellbeing.

And then things got complicated as I tried to figure out what the newsletter is, what my podcast should focus on – practical intuition felt embedded, and not the focus anymore.

So I've been letting it all kind of rest for winter and early spring.Lo and behold, the next steps just kept showing up and showing up.
