Welcome to the Swallow Your Pride podcast. I'm your host, Teresa Richard. I'm a board certified

specialist in swallowing and swallowing disorders, a mobile fees business owner and founder

of the MetSLP Collective.

This podcast is all about delivering the latest evidence-based practice to medical

SLPs everywhere.
