  2. What’s Next with Mary Houle — Speech Pathologist, Storyteller, Shameless Self-promoter (WIP!)

Jun 28, 2022

This time, we are talking about The Great…Reimagining! 

Although Mary Houle’s biggest claim to fame is playing the BC basketball provincials in 1987 with the legend Tara Kemes (ha!), she managed to find further success in her almost 30 years working as a speech pathologist. But things weren’t always right in that world. After being gifted a new perspective on her work, she sees her professional self in a whole new light, one fully aligned with her values. 

Her journey can provide lessons for anyone who has that unsettled feeling and is contemplating a change. Thank you for sharing your stories, Mary! 

Key Takeaways:

  • If you ever refer to any opportunity as “soul-sucking”, it probably isn’t the right path for you!
  • We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: surround yourself with people who can give you a new perspective, who can ask you tough questions AND be your champions!
  • In addition to Mary’s hoop skills, she was pretty talented on the typewriter. (Not that it actually got her the job she wanted!!)
