    Boy, do I have a podcast episode for you 🎙️
    There are so many amazing OTs out there, but every now and then you come across someone extra special, and Bec Lockyer is absolutely one of those people.
    Bec is the brains behind the upcoming Paediatric OT Conference, and in this episode we chat all about her journey with Little TheraPeas, the very real juggle of work and life as a working mum, and of course, all the juicy details about the conference.
    Bec and I genuinely could have talked for hours. I loved this chat so much and I am very excited for you all to listen 💛

    It has been a hot minute, so today’s episode is a good old-fashioned catch-up. I’m chatting about the new Allied Health Assistant role at Eucalypt OT, why I’ve been cautious about growing the business, supervising OT students, reopening my books for supervision and the importance of building an OT community outside of your workplace.

    It is so good to be back behind the mic, so I hope you enjoy this ep!

    This week I'm trying something new: Exhaust & Excite.
    I'm sharing three things that are currently exhausting me and three things that are currently exciting me. Basically my way to get things off my chest so thanks so much!!! This ep is a little bit of everything - with my thoughts on the current social media landscape, plans to be tik tok famous (lol) and dabbling in AT prescription!

    As always thanks SO much for tuning in and sharing the love. 

    Happy Listening!!

    Gday guys, welcome back to the poddy 🤍

    In this episode I answer your questions about all the things currently happening in the OT and NDIS world. We chat about Thriving Kids, the future of rural OT, diversifying caseloads and businesses and navigating all the fear and uncertainty online at the moment.

    I also answer questions about imposter syndrome, preparing for studying OT @ uni, my favourite PDs, the online OT creator space and where I hope the profession heads in the future.

    As always, this is just my opinion and experience. 

    Hope you enjoy!

    81: Friday Pause and Ponder

    Trying something a little different this week!
    If you’ve been listening to the podcast lately, you’ll know I’ve been pretty open about coming out the other side of burnout and trying to build better habits into my work weeks so I don’t end up back there again. One of the things I’m really trying to stick to is actually reflecting on my week instead of just pushing through to the next one.
    So in this episode, I’m basically talking through my Friday reflection using my Pause & Ponder Pad ! The highs, the tricky bits, what made me smile, where my energy and self-care sat this week and what I need heading into the weekend.
    My hope is that by sharing mine out loud it might encourage you to pause and think about your own week too. Reflection is one of those things we all know is helpful… but it’s very easy to skip when life gets busy.
    Happy Listening!
