Today marks episode 50 of the OT 4 Lyfe podcast!  Being that today’s episode is a big milestone, we’re doing something fun to celebrate. 

To date, there have been over 50 interviews on the show and they range from a host of interests, backgrounds, and practice areas. We’ve had on occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, OT and OTA students, and a few non-OT professionals because collaboration between professions is super important.

So to celebrate episode 50, we’ll be sharing some clips from some of these amazing guests. The clips were chosen because they really stood out as pivotal aspects within our profession as a whole. They were inspiring and insightful and share glimpses into the all around fantastic people who make up our profession.  Thanks so much for being a part of this podcasting journey and I hope you enjoy episode 50!
