Pediatric Medical SLP to Private Practice SLP with Kyarra Bright

Private Practice Success Stories

Have you been thinking about starting a private practice on the side in a niche you are passionate about? Then you’re going to love this episode of Private Practice Success Stories!

I sat down with Kyarra Bright, one of my Start Your Private Practice students to share her story. Kyarra is a speech language pathologist with a pediatric private practice in Orange County, California specializing in infant feeding.

She started her private practice after having frustrations with patients being prematurely discharged and not receiving continued services, which led to her private practice “Little Pod Speech and Feeding Therapy.”

In this episode, Kyarra shares her desire to continue working at a hospital while having her practice on the side allowing her to maintain her passion for hospital work and provide continuity of care for discharged patients. Kyarra also reflects on her journey in the Start Your Private Practice Program and how the program helped redefine what success meant to her.

After working several years as a pediatric medical speech-language pathologist, Kyarra Bright noticed an ongoing trend where many patients who were discharged from the hospital no longer had access to speech and feeding services due to the lack of provider availability. Little Pod Speech and Feeding Therapy was created to provide a solution to address this ongoing issue. Kyarra currently offers speech and feeding therapy for pediatrics in the heart of Orange County, California.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• The need Kyarra saw in her community and how she decided to help fill it
• How the Start program helped Kyarra move forward with her private practice dreams
• How the support you’ll find in the program can help you push through challenges
• The key to finding your first clients in your private practice
• The possibilities when you follow your passion and zone of genius in your field
• The different ways you can make private practice work for you
• One way you can increase your impact within your field
• The doors that open to you when you have a private practice

I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Kyrra! I love her advice to other aspiring private practitioners that you can create your own job based on what you like to do in the field of speech pathology through private practice.
