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!

Episode 73 of Holly the OT podcast and I am joined by the WONDERFUL Bradley Williams. Brad is an incredibly kind and compassionate OT who has this incredible knack of making you think a little bit deeper about things. 

You may know Brad through his work with the Becoming Collective, but in this episode Brad shares his journey of becoming and OT, what lead him to doing things differently through his clinical work and the overall mission of TBC. 

Brad and I could chat for hours, and this definitely won't be the last you hear from him on the pod (because there is so much more we want to talk about!). 

For now, enjoy this fabulous episode hearing all about Brad's journey to becoming the incredible OT he is today.

Sezzy shares about her journey to studying OT, how Jason Derulo influenced her starting an OT insta account and what she is looking forward too once she graduates. Such a great chat that I think you will all LOVE!

Welcome back to Holly the OT podcast! Today's guest is the absolute legend that is Caitlin Stejskal. Caitlin is the founder of ClinicianX - but before that, she was a burnt-out early year therapist who took off on a 14 month adventure around Australia. During her travels she got stuck into locum work in regional locations across the country, and found herself pondering on the lack of supervision available to OT's in these areas. 

ClinicianX was born from the idea of making high quality supervision more accessible. ClinicianX gives supervisors the opportunity to showcase their experience and personalities, while also giving supervisees the chance to find support from someone who they know they'll gel with. 

Caitlin shares about the journey to her tech start up, navigating the anxiety and fear of judgement as an early year therapist trying to do something different, the future plans for the platform and SO much more.

Welcome back to Holly the OT! I am joined by 2 very EPIC guests on this weeks ep - Angela and Mani (the founders of Everbility!). I was super excited for this chat, as AI in healthcare feels like this big mysterious concept that can be way too intimidating (for me at least!). 

In this chat we talk about Angela and Mani's career journey that lead them to starting Everbility, what AI/Chat GBT actually is, how we can be more informed when it comes to privacy and data safety and SO much more. 

Angela and Mani are super approachable and broke things down in a way that makes tech seem far less intimidating - and I hope it does the same for you.

Welcome to the OT PODCAST JOB BOARD - An interactive job board where you can hear directly from the businesses themselves. You'll hear about the fun parts of each business, but also about the important stuff (think wages, billables and what supports are on offer). I asked all businesses for one thing - honesty and transparency. I hope you find this series valuable on your job hunt!

I said I was done for the year, BUT I couldn't resist the chance to speak with Rach and Sam, the legends at All Star Therapies in Geraldton. All Star are one of the most inclusive and neuro-affirming clinics I have come across, and they would make such a beautiful workplace for new grads OR experienced therapists.

Welcome back to another episode of Holly the OT!

This week I am joined by Ed Price, who at the time of recording was the Allied Health Officer for the National Rural Health Student Network (NRHSN). Ed shares his journey from Marine Biology to studying OT, and how an opportunity to join a rural health club led him to supporting rural health on a national scale (all before even finishing uni!). 

A great chat, and hopefully an encouragement for all students that you don't have to wait till you graduate to do cool stuff!

Welcome Back to Holly the OT! Todays episode is a wonderful chat about what can happen after you realise OT might not be for you. Ash was studying OT before realising after her first placement that it really wasn't for her. Ash switched degrees and is now leading clinical drug trials for cancer patients all around the country. Ash also shares some insights on career progression, and navigating tricky conversations with employers around money. A really special chat regardless of where you are at on your journey. 

Happy Listening!
