What if the biggest gap in OT education isn’t a clinical skill… but mindset?

In this powerful solo episode, I’m diving deep into something we rarely talk about in the allied health space — the mindset of a therapist. We learn assessments, theory, and how to write reports at university, but we’re not taught how to handle the emotional load, the imposter syndrome, or the daily self-doubt that creeps in.

I unpack the mindset shifts every occupational therapist (and allied health professional) needs to make — from reflecting beyond just mistakes, to protecting your energy, to trusting your own clinical reasoning. I also share personal insights from my own journey, how moving to Australia highlighted the gaps, and why self-awareness, boundaries, and belief in yourself matter just as much as clinical knowledge.

You’ll hear:

• Why imposter syndrome isn't your fault — and how we can shift from it

• The impact of energetic boundaries (yes, we go there!)

• The myth that confidence only comes from experience

• How to reflect for growth, not just correction

• My exact morning mindset rituals that changed everything

If this resonates with you and you're ready to work on your mindset, I’d love to support you through mentoring. Let’s unlock the confidence, clarity, and skills already within you.
