Finding beauty in the small things 🌻🌾 ⠀⠀ Like getting off on the side of the road in Kansas to take photos with the sunflowers ☺️ ⠀⠀ This was during our road trip last fall (September 2019) which was the first time we’d ever been through the Midwest. Lots of people complain about the boring drive through Kansas during cross-country trips, but we actually really enjoyed it. We loved seeing the fields and taking in a totally new landscape for us. ⠀⠀ Hopefully we can find the same beauty in it next time we drive through 😆
Travel Therapy & Finances After Graduation Presentation 🎥 ⠀⠀ This is a version of a presentation we have given at a couple of conferences including the APTA National Student Conclave and at a few DPT schools. It provides a general overview of the basics of travel therapy and provides general information about setting yourself up for financial success after graduation. ⠀⠀ We originally were going to email the video file out to those who wanted it, or send via GoogleDrive, but because the file is so large we instead uploaded it directly to YouTube. You can watch the full video with the PowerPoint here (link in bio) ⠀⠀ https://youtu.be/pF7xkL-C9IA ⠀⠀ Please excuse that the YouTube video recording is not perfect. We’re definitely not pros with technology and are still learning, haha. Hopefully the content is valuable to you and you can overlook our technology flaws 🙂 ⠀⠀ Also- please note this was recorded on March 7, 2020 and some information has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, we did not end up being able to go to Latin America at this time, but hope to resume our travels when things go back to normal. In addition, the travel therapy job market has taken a large hit since this was recorded, so it may not be the best time for new grads to try to begin travel therapy. We anticipate this will improve in the coming months. ⠀⠀ For the most up to date information, please continue to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We will keep you up to date as the travel therapy job market improves. ⠀⠀ As always, please contact us if you want advice about travel therapy or would like our recommendations for travel therapy recruiters. 🙌🏻
👩🏻‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓 New Grad Therapists: Your Financial Future & Career Outlook ⠀⠀ Lots of students/future therapists (PT, OT, SLP, PTA, COTA) are coming up on graduation, which is a very exciting time— but this year graduation may look a little different. There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now - this includes uncertainty in finances & job outlook for new graduates ready to start their careers. ⠀⠀ Tonight we’ll be discussing the job outlook for therapists - both in perm positions and travel positions - and we’ll discuss some general financial recommendations for getting your career off on the right foot. ⠀⠀ If you’re a new grad/soon to be new graduate, join us to learn more on our Facebook Live @ 9pm EST! ⠀⠀ Who’s graduating this Spring?! Comment below 👩🏻‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓
Cross Country Road Trips: ⠀⠀ We took our first cross country road trip last fall & it was awesome! ⠀⠀ We hope to go on another one, taking a different route, this fall (if the universe allows it)... ⠀⠀ Here’s something random we stumbled upon when passing thru Kansas City: The Money Museum @ The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. We learned some cool facts about US currency, saw origami made out of money, lifted a bar of gold, watched the workers sort money in the vault, and left with a bag of shredded old money! 😆 ⠀⠀ What’s something cool you’ve stumbled upon during a road trip?! Tell us & maybe we can check it out! ⤵️
My how things can change in a month. 😔 ⠀⠀ Life is very different since this cute pic of us was taken in February when we were at CSM in Denver. ⠀⠀ Jared was late on posting his “February financial independence update” a week or so ago- and we laughed (more in an ironic I-hate-my-life way than a funny-haha way 😩) at how much things had changed from late February to late March. ⠀⠀ Today we just published his March update talking about all the changes and how our lives were turned upside down in March (to read, visit the link in our bio). ⠀⠀ Let’s see what’s changed: ⠀⠀ ➡️We went from being able to get together with huge groups of people at conferences like CSM in February and the NC Student Conclave in early March- to all quarantining at home and social distancing from everyone else. ⠀⠀ ➡️We did finally go from owning a camper & truck to selling it - which was a long time coming, and we’re thankful for selling them before the world went crazy! ⠀⠀ ➡️We went from getting ready to leave the country for 5 months to having to cancel our Latin America trip & instead staying at home with family for an indefinite period of time. ⠀⠀ ➡️And not to mention all the financial changes we are all faced with due to the economic impacts of the pandemic! ⠀⠀ The world is a crazy place right now, and it’s interesting how much things can change from the plans you had and what you thought your future would look like! We’ll just have to wait and see what the month of April will have in store....
Thankful for good weather so we can go out to get some fresh air & stretch our legs. 💚 Also thankful for an easy trail bc Jared tricked me and told me we were going on an easy 2 mile walk and it was actually closer to 6. 😏
