| 8/21/26 |  Dancing Through Life: Allen Genkin on How Grief, ADHD & Adversity Can Become Your Greatest Strength | Most people know Allen Genkin from the dance floor, but dance was never really the story. In this deeply personal episode of The Growth Lab, Luba sits down with professional ballroom dancer and Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro competitor Allen Genkin, whose family has been family to hers since the day he was born. Behind the television lights and the trophies is a story of extraordinary resilience: losing his mother at just 15, growing up with ADHD and as an ESL kid, and battling cancer as a young adult. Allen opens up about how dance became his therapy, what kept him moving through his darkest chapters, and why he chases the dream instead of the accolades. Together they talk about grief, identity, perseverance, and what parents raising kids with ADHD, loss, or adversity most need to understand. This one is about turning pain into purpose, dreaming after loss, and finding the courage to keep dancing through it all. If you have ever faced a hard chapter, or you love a child who has, this conversation is for you.Allen Genkin on Instagram: @allengenkinAllen Genkin on TikTok: @iamallengenkinConnect with Luba on Instagram: @lubapatlakhGet a copy of Bobo Wears a Bowtie: bobowearsabowtie.comLuba's website: lubapatlakh.comThe Confident IEP Parent ebook: theconfidentiepparent.comJoin the Parent Pathway: https://www.skool.com/the-parent-pathway/00:00 Welcome to The Growth Lab 01:33 Meet Allen Genkin 02:36 Growing up as family 05:10 From hockey to dance 07:46 ADHD, ESL, and finding his footing 12:35 Losing his mom at 15 14:13 Dance as therapy 19:01 Beating cancer 22:19 Chasing the dream, not the trophies 28:08 Raising resilient kids 30:55 Lightning round + advice to a struggling kid | 35m 52s | ||||||
| 7/28/26 |  Trusting Your Gut in a Medical Moment with Dr. Daniel Kogan | It's 8:30 at night.

His message lands for every parent. You know your child better than anyone, and a fair, thorough look is always worth it.Listen in for the clarity to trust your instincts the next time a moment turns scary.Connect with Luba on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lubapatlakh/Get a copy of Bobo Wears a Bowtie: bobowearsabowtie.comLuba's website: lubapatlakh.comThe Confident IEP Parent ebook: theconfidentiepparent.comJoin the Parent Pathway: https://www.skool.com/the-parent-pathway/00:00 Welcome to the Growth Lab01:42 Meet Dr. Daniel Kogan04:07 What urgent care actually handles for kids07:57 The most unexpected cases he has seen08:55 When scary symptoms turn out to be minor10:58 Fever guidelines for babies11:21 Warning signs after a head injury12:02 Why you should never feel embarrassed to come in16:42 Why he chose to open an urgent care21:04 Where to find MedX Urgent Care | 22m 56s | ||||||
| 7/22/26 |  Why Ebony Green Stopped Trying to Do Everything Herself | You know you were made for more than a packed caseload and an endless to-do list, but figuring out how to actually build the business can feel like guesswork. In this special business edition of The Growth Lab, Luba sits down with Ebony Green, owner and CEO of The Speak Center, creator of the SLP Business Suite, and founder of the Made for More movement, for an honest look at what it really takes to grow a speech practice on purpose. Ebony breaks down her three phases of intentional acceleration, from stabilizing as the operator, to building systems that run without you, to stepping into legacy and longevity as a CEO. She shares the client who almost made her quit, why she finally stopped trying to do everything herself, and the shift from delegating tasks to delegating decisions. If you are an SLP who knows there is more but you are figuring it out in real time, this conversation is your permission slip.Ebony on Instagram: @slpbizqueen (personal), @theslpbusiness_suite (business)Made for More conference: @madeformoreslpEbony Green on LinkedInThe SLP Business Suite (her online education platform, home of the School Contracting Masterclass): https://theslpbusinesssuite.teachable.comConnect with Luba on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lubapatlakh/Get a copy of Bobo Wears a Bowtie: bobowearsabowtie.comLuba's website: lubapatlakh.comThe Confident IEP Parent ebook: theconfidentiepparent.comJoin the Parent Pathway: https://www.skool.com/the-parent-pathway/00:02:52 Meet Ebony Green00:03:54 From proving herself to leading on purpose00:10:35 The school job that pushed her to start her practice00:13:36 The client who almost made her quit00:18:20 Phase one, stabilizing as the operator00:21:05 Why school contracts made sense00:24:38 Did your cash register ring today00:29:04 Phase two, building the architecture00:31:52 Delegating decisions, not just tasks00:46:33 Phase three, leadership, legacy, and longevity | 54m 54s | ||||||
