From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust: How I Built My Confidence as an OT (and How You Can Too)


Listen Later

Ever feel like everyone else has it all figured out—and you’re the only one second-guessing every clinical decision? You’re not alone. I’ve been there.


In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my early career journey—from overthinking everything to becoming a confident, grounded occupational therapist (and now mentor). I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts, support systems, and practical steps that helped me stop comparing myself to others and start trusting my clinical reasoning.


💭 Here's what we dive into:

  • Why confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build

  • How early support, mentorship, and feedback shaped my growth

  • What I did differently to develop quickly as a new grad

  • 3 powerful steps to start building your confidence today

  • Why knowing your strengths changes everything
