    Speaking' From The Heart - Kay Jones - The Story of Lake Oconee Speech Therapy

    Today’s episode is all about something we often take for granted, the ability to communicate: to speak, to share, to connect. My guest, Kay Jones, has spent more than 40 years as a speech therapist, helping people of all ages rediscover their voices and their confidence after challenges that made communication difficult. From children learning their first clear words to adults recovering from strokes or injuries, Kay has dedicated her life to reminding people that every voice matters. Now, after four decades of experience in schools, clinics, and hospitals, Kay is opening a new chapter, quite literally, by launching her own private practice right here in our community! We’ll talk about her journey, how the field of speech therapy has evolved, and the deep emotional connection between speech and identity. You’ll hear stories of transformation, the science behind speech recovery, and why Kay believes that helping someone find their voice is one of the most rewarding callings there is. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that words have power, and with the right help, anyone can find theirs again.

    On Our Own, But Never Alone: The Story of the OOO's

    Today’s episode is one of those stories that reminds you just how powerful friendship and community can be. I’m joined by two incredible women — Patty Jackson and Rachel Borregard, from an inspiring local organization called On Our Own, or simply the OOO’s as most of you know them. What started as a small circle of women supporting each other through life’s challenges has grown into a thriving network of encouragement, compassion, and shared purpose. The OOO’s are proof that when women come together, to listen, to lift each other up, and to lead with heart, remarkable things happen. We’ll talk about how the organization began, the lives it’s touched, and the ways it continues to make a lasting impact here in our community and beyond. You’ll hear about the events, the laughter, the friendships and the deeper mission that ties it all together. Whether you’re part of a group like this or have been looking for something that feeds your soul, this episode will remind you that no one should ever truly be “on their own.” So settle in, this conversation is full of heart, hope, and the kind of connection that makes life a little brighter.
