An episode I wish I never had to record, but one that will hopefully resonate with those on a similar journey. 
Last year, I burnt out. This year, I’m making sure it never happens again.
I’ve been on a huge journey the last 12 months and have learnt so much about what it means to live a balanced, healthy life and run my businesses sustainably. I’m going to share everything I think contributed and how I got myself out.
Listen with kindness, and remember that everyone’s journey is different. This is mine.

Welcome back to Holly the OT Podcast!
I popped a question box on my stories and you absolutely delivered. In this Q&A, I share unfiltered, honest thoughts on what life and work in the NT really look like, how I’d run the NDIS if I had a magic wand, and where I think OTA advocacy can keep pushing forward. I also chat about growing my practice without burning out, surviving placement with your sanity intact, finding (and thriving in) a new-grad role, and plenty more along the way.
Happy Listening!

Welcome back to Holly the OT Podcast!
This week I’m joined by the absolutely FABULOUS Samantha Harris, founder of h2OT. Sam talks us through her OT journey, from new grad to navigating life in London in 2020 (IYKYK!), and then returning home to Australia and launching the her own private practice (with a difference). 
We dive (hehe) into all things business, occupational therapy, and everything in between. Sam share's about what it is really like being an aquatic OT, and how it really is the same as what a "land-based OT" does - just more fun ;)
Sam’s got an infectious passion and energy and I know you will all LOVE this chat.

Welcome back to the Holly the OT Podcast!
Today, I’m joined by Ricardo Rahme from Little Heroes OT to talk all things allied health business, being a male in a female-dominated field and breaking the mould of traditional 1:1 therapy. Ricardo shares his experience navigating burnout as a business owner and what he’s doing differently to avoid it happening again.
It’s a fantastic episode no matter where you are in your journey. Thanks so much for coming on, Ric!

From Geraldton to Perth and all the way out to remote WA, Taylor’s journey as a speechie has taken her through some of the most stunning parts of the country.
She’s got a big passion for rural health and knows a thing or two about the rewards and challenges of working in remote communities. Now running her own business, Taylor opens up about the tough call to leave a supportive and fulfilling role to do things a bit differently. 
There’s something in this episode for everyone, whether you're just starting out, thinking about a career move, or dreaming of remote work life. I’m so excited to share Taylor’s story with you!
