S2E17: Designing Life and Business with SLP Mary Brezik
Manage episode 426800175 series 3459694
Tune in for our very last episode of this season's "How I Made My Speech Path Business" with hosts Mary Brezik and Kim Dillon. This episode shines a spotlight on Mary's personal journey in starting her own private practice. With a background rich in healthcare and creative arts, Mary recognized the need for a more balanced approach between her professional ambitions and family life after a decade in a clinical setting. Her business philosophy is a more personalized, concierge-style practice that focuses on practical, everyday therapy integrated into the children's routines, specifically in the areas of feeding and swallowing.
Mary's main focus in the beginning was placing a significant emphasis on balancing her mental health and personal time to ensure she was prepared for the demands of a growing business. Recognizing the importance of self-care, she sought therapy and regularly engaged in tennis, a personal passion. This commitment to her well-being allowed her to maintain a clear focus and energy for her entrepreneurial pursuits. This approach not only sustained her mental health but also highlighted the essential role that personal fulfillment plays in professional success.
Mary's approach to business is deeply intertwined with community and networking. She was a main part of establishing the Pediatric Resource Network, which promotes collaboration among pediatric healthcare professionals in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Her innovative therapy methods emphasize real-world application, moving from clinic-based to in-home therapy to directly address children’s needs in their living environments. Mary’s focuses on favoring quality over quantity and leveraging word-of-mouth and professional referrals over traditional marketing.
Throughout the episode, we are able to see how Mary has prioritized personal values with professional expertise, ultimately leading to a fulfilling career in speech therapy.
