About this listen

 Not in the Visit Note is an anonymous podcast hosted by two speech-language pathologists, sharing the conversations that happen after the visit ends—the ones that never make it into the chart.

Each week, we break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of speech therapy life: clinical wins, awkward moments, cancelled visits, productivity pressure, family dynamics, and the emotional weight of the work we do. With honesty, humor, and professionalism, we unpack the realities of being clinicians—where boundaries blur and the work doesn’t end when the session does.

All stories are told through generalized, anonymized, and composite experiences, offering validation, insight, and solidarity for SLPs and rehab professionals who have ever thought, “I can’t put that in the visit note.”

    Ep. 16 Discharge Isn't Always A Win
    May 3 2026
    Not every discharge feels like a success.
    In this episode of Not In The Visit Note, we’re talking about the hard reasons behind discharging a client—especially when it comes down to lack of progress.

    What happens when you’ve tried everything you know to try… and it’s still not enough? When the family is consistent, the effort is there, and the outcomes just aren’t? We’re diving into the part of the job that doesn’t make it into documentation— the guilt, the second-guessing, and the weight of making a call that doesn’t sit right.

    We also unpack the clinical realities behind these decisions: plateaus, limited carryover, attendance barriers, burnout, and when therapy may no longer be the most effective support. Because sometimes doing what’s best doesn’t feel good. And sometimes the right decision is the hardest one to make.
    This is the side of discharge no one really talks about.

    No names. No facilities. Just validation, dark humor, and the stuff that never makes it into the visit note.

  • Ep. 15 Self Care???

    Ep. 15 Self Care???
    Apr 27 2026
    In this episode of Not in the Visit Note, we get real about self-care—the version we talk about, the version we want to have, and the version we actually manage to squeeze into our lives. We share what fills our cups (when we remember to refill them) and the small things that help us stay grounded in the middle of chaotic schedules and constant demands.

    But let’s be honest—prioritizing ourselves isn’t easy. Between work, responsibilities, and showing up for everyone else, self-care often ends up last on the list. We dive into the guilt, the excuses, and the very real struggle of making time for ourselves, even when we know how important it is.

    If you’ve ever said “I’ll take care of myself later” and then… didn’t—this episode is for you.

    No names. No facilities. Just validation, dark humor, and the stuff that never makes it into the visit note.

    Ep. 14 Interviews Gone Off the Rails
    Apr 19 2026
    In this episode of Not in the Visit Note, we’re swapping therapy rooms for interview rooms—and let’s just say… things didn’t go as planned. From wildly inappropriate questions to awkward oversharing and moments that had us questioning reality, we’re breaking down the job interviews that went completely left.

    We share our own experiences navigating uncomfortable, confusing, and downright bizarre hiring processes, plus the lessons we learned (sometimes the hard way). Whether you’ve been in the hot seat or on the other side of the table, this episode will have you laughing, cringing, and maybe feeling a little better about your own interview mishaps.

    Because sometimes the red flags don’t just wave… they scream.
