Hallie Bulkin gets a MARPE appliance and worries about sounding slushy on her podcast. She has a high pain tolerance but plans to stop recording spoken work during recovery, asking when her speech will clear up again.
What is your biggest fear with it? Because I'm terr. I have like lots of fears. I'm very terrified. But what's your biggest fear and feelings around it?
So I asked her outright. I was. Well, I have a high tolerance for pain, so I think for most people, they're worried about the pain, the discomfort. And I'm just kind of like, I'm gonna Netflix and chill for a week. I mean, not really. Like, I will work on things that don't require me to speak. So I will be working but like behind the scenes stuff and I'll come on and talk so everyone can hear my speech on social media. Right. But I'm like, I'm not recording anything in the business. So I just came back from being away from for three weeks and basically we, before I left and now like this week have just like had a ton of recordings for the podcast because I'm like, I'm worried I'm gonna sound so slushy. And you know, it's one thing people aren't. I don't think people that know me are gonna care. But like, if you're new to my podcast and I'm a speech pathologist who has slushy, hard to understand speech and I'm a host of a podcast, like, well, that's interesting, right? So I said to her, I was like, what? Like, I was like, be realistic with me. When do you think I can speak with enough clarity that it might not sound like me?
