Why This Speech Therapist Stopped Trading Hours for Income

Building a business while raising a family can feel like constantly being pulled in two directions and this conversation is such an honest look at what it takes to create something sustainable without losing yourself in the process. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Victoria Dertouzos, speech language pathologist, private practice owner, and creator of Stuttering Therapy Academy, for a powerful conversation about building a business around clarity, purpose, and impact instead of pressure and burnout. Victoria shares how she went from managing a growing private practice and new motherhood to creating an online education program that's changing the way speech therapists support children and adults who stutter. We also dive into the emotional side of entrepreneurship, navigating imposter syndrome, balancing motherhood with ambition, and why choosing a highly specific niche became one of the biggest advantages in growing her business. Victoria opens up about the deeper mission behind her work, the misconceptions surrounding stuttering, and how helping people feel seen and accepted has become the foundation of everything she teaches. Tune in to hear:

How Victoria built a successful niche private practice specializing in stuttering therapy
Why becoming a mother completely shifted the way she viewed business and time
The hidden challenges of running a service-based business that relies fully on you
What speech therapists are often missing when it comes to supporting clients who stutter
Why stuttering therapy is about connection and quality of life, not "fixing" someone
How Victoria transitioned from one-on-one work into an online practitioner program
The role clarity played in helping her build a more sustainable business model
How imposter syndrome showed up when launching her online offer
Why having a smaller, highly specific niche became her greatest advantage
What changed in her content strategy that helped her grow and convert online
The emotional impact of helping children and adults feel accepted exactly as they are
Why "just go for it" became the mindset that changed everything for her
