282 – Finding Purpose After Diagnosis: A Patient's HNC Triumph – Yvonne McClaren WOMT

What do your HNC patients *really* want you to know? My guest this week is spilling the tea from her own personal triumph over HNC…

Yvonne McClaren has faced the unthinkable – from a tonsil cancer diagnosis to a partial glossectomy (and tonsillectomy and lymphadenectomy), but has gone on to change the outlook for other HNC patients through her work as a passionate patient advocate.

She's a chef, soup savant, contributing author to university curricula, and podcast host.

Yvonne’s goal is to bridge the gap between SLPs /Dietitians and home kitchens with lived experience as a passionate foodie who promotes the social implications of meals with those that we love.

She brings her experience, passion, and enthusiasm to this episode which is a must-listen for all SLPs.

281 – The Voice – Pelvic Floor Connection – Sara Sohn DPT, PT, WCS and Ashley Michaelis MS, CCC-SLP

What in the health does your pelvic floor have to do with your voice? More than one might think…

SLPs work from the diaphragm to the glottis, and pelvic health PTs work from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor. It would only make sense that we collaborate because, like every other part of the body, it truly is all connected.

Dr. Sara Sohn, pelvic floor PT, and Ashley Michaelis, voice SLP, have partnered together to bring their expertise and experience to Swallow Your Pride listeners and SLPs, and PTs everywhere. In this episode, this dynamic duo shares insights, clinical examples, and a collaborative approach that reveals just how connected the pelvic floor and voice really are.
