Ever feel like you're just a cog in the healthcare machine, even though you trained to make a real difference? What if occupational therapists could build thriving practices on their terms and love their work again?

Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff. Today’s guest is Lesli Jenkins, an occupational therapist and owner of Next Step Oncology Lymphedema OT in the Fort Worth-Dallas area.

Lesli shares her path from burnout to building a successful mobile practice. She discusses the challenges occupational therapists (OTs) face, the decision to take control of her career, and the value OTs bring to healthcare.

Here’s what we’re diving into in this episode:

• The reality of burnout and disillusionment in OT

• Why do many OTs feel like outsiders in their own profession

• The creative and entrepreneurial potential of occupational therapists

• How Leslie built her mobile lymphedema/oncology practice from the ground up

• Partnering with other healthcare pros without losing your OT identity

• Encouragement for clinicians ready to start their own business

You’re not stuck. You’re not just one piece of a system that doesn't see you. You’re an innovator, a creative, and an essential healthcare provider. As Leslie says, “You can create whatever environment you want to thrive in.” This episode serves as a reminder that autonomy isn’t a dream; it’s an option. And it starts with one bold step.

Ever feel pulled in too many directions just when things start working out? What if the key to scaling your practice isn’t growth but boredom?

Hey UNCAGED CLINICIANS, Kevin DeGroot here with Uncaged Clinician. If you’re a solopreneur finally seeing wins stack up and thinking, “What’s next?”… listen up.

I’m sharing the story of my “spinning plates” the moment when chasing every opportunity nearly wrecked my growth. I’ll tell you what I did wrong and how you can avoid it.

Don’t let early momentum pull you off track.

Here’s what we’re diving in this episode:

• The false promise of early diversification

• Why a “boring” business is a successful one

• The dangers of shiny object syndrome

• How to create systems that allow you to step away

• Why solidifying your current practice should be the top priority

• When (and how) to scale without sabotaging yourself

If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s this: lasting success comes from intentional focus, not frantic growth. Whether you’re just starting to scale or feel stuck in constant busywork, this conversation is your invitation to slow down, streamline, and build something that truly lasts. 

Uncaged Hack: "Diversification is more of a distraction than it is an advantage to you." —Kevin DeGroot

Are you holding back on launching your dream because it’s not “perfect” yet? What if the real secret to success is simply taking action even if things look a little messy? Hey UNCAGED CLINICIANS! Welcome back to the podcast—I’m David Bayliff. If you’re new, we’ve been here since 2018, talking business, life, and how to make an impact as clinicians. Today I’m flying solo (Josh Payne recently stepped into full-time ministry—so proud of him!).

I want to talk about something that holds so many back: perfectionism. If you’ve ever waited until everything felt “just right” before taking action, this is for you. We all want things to look polished—but waiting for perfect keeps you stuck. I’ve seen great clinicians hesitate because they thought they needed the perfect website, business cards, or setup. Truth is: you don’t.

Here’s what I’ve got lined up for you in this episode:

• Josh Payne’s exciting new path and our ongoing friendship

• How chasing perfection can paralyze your business growth

• Why focusing on aesthetics can distract you from real impact

• Real client stories about action vs. perfection

• How to reframe your mindset and prioritize movement over perfection

• The one thing you should really focus on when starting or scaling

If you remember one thing from today: Perfect is the enemy of progress. Your clients, community, and patients aren't looking for perfect — they’re looking for someone who can help them. Take that first messy step. The world needs what you have to offer! Thanks for tuning in to Uncaged Clinician — and as always, make it a great day! 

Uncaged Hack: "Perfect is really the antidote to action. It's the kryptonite to action." —David Bayliff

Are you dreaming of starting your own cash-based practice but don’t know where to begin? Wondering how to overcome fear, avoid rookie mistakes, and build a practice with purpose? Hey Uncaged Clinicians David Bayliff here with another solo episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast. If you’re new, welcome! I started my cash-based practice in 2011 with passion and not much direction. Today, I’m sharing what I wish I knew back then.

One big takeaway? Don’t try to figure everything out alone. I made that mistake. You’ve got access to people who’ve already been through it—use that. Let’s talk about how.

Here’s what I’ve got lined up for you in this episode:

• Why you shouldn’t reinvent the wheel

• The role of fear and how to move through it

• Two critical lessons for new practice owner

• How to map a clear client journey

• Understanding financial metrics that actually matter

• Encouragement and mindset shifts to help you move forward

Starting your own practice isn’t just a business move—it’s a bold, brave decision to bet on yourself. I hope this episode gives you clarity, confidence, and a reminder that success doesn’t look the same for everyone. You can do this—just believe in your path, stay focused, and never stop learning.

Have you ever asked yourself why your clinic really exists—beyond just paying the bills? What makes your practice necessary in your community, and not just another option? Hey hey, welcome back to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast—David Bayliff here! Glad you're joining me today. We're talking about something a lot of new practice owners miss: your extrinsic why.

I’ve got a great guest with me—Sharon Wisnewski, our accountability coach in the Launchpad program and a former physical therapist. Sharon’s all about helping clinicians get clear on their purpose.

She shares her story of starting Healing Hands to serve her local CrossFit community—not just treating injuries, but meeting a real need and building something with meaning.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics with you:

• What your extrinsic why is, and why it matters

• How to identify gaps in your community that your practice can fill

• Why “being great at what you do” isn’t enough

• The role of real relationships in business growth

• How to reflect and define your practice’s purpose

And before we wrap, we’ll go through a few powerful questions that’ll help you define your own external why—so your clinic isn’t just another business, but a needed presence in your community. This one’s full of straight talk and real insight. If you take nothing else away, let it be this: you’ve got to know why your business deserves to exist—not just for you, but for the people you’re called to serve.

Uncaged Hack: “You need to figure out why your practice has to exist in the community.”

—Sharon Wisnewski

Have you ever felt like an imposter in your own business, despite knowing you're capable? What if the only thing standing between you and success is your belief in yourself?

Welcome to the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I’m your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today, we’re tackling a common challenge for entrepreneurs—self-doubt. We all hear that nagging voice asking, “What if I fail?” or “Am I good enough?” I've faced these doubts myself, and in this episode, I'll share strategies for overcoming them and taking charge of your success. This discussion is crucial, whether you're starting out or well into your entrepreneurial journey.

Let's face it—confidence can be a facade. Many of us appear sure of ourselves while grappling with fear and insecurity behind the scenes. I’ve been there, feeling like a fraud even as I projected confidence. But remember, those negative thoughts only define us if we allow them to.

In this episode, I'll cover the following topics with you:

• The illusion of confidence and why even successful people struggle with self-doubt

• How self-fulfilling prophecies can sabotage your business

• The hidden cost of fearing failure more than embracing success

• Why some people would rather fail and be "right" than take a risk and win

• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who see your potential

Self-doubt isn’t the enemy—it’s a challenge to overcome. Your success isn’t about eliminating fear but proving that fear wrong. So, take a step forward. Acknowledge your doubts, but don’t let them dictate your path. You are capable of more than you think, and it’s time to show the world what you’re made of.

Do you ever find yourself second-guessing every decision in your business? What if the key to growth isn’t more strategy, but more self-trust?

Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff, and today I'm joined by my fantastic teammate, Hannah DeGroot. We're tackling a topic every entrepreneur grapples with: self-trust. Building a business is tough, especially with the added weight of self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure to always make the right decisions. This chat is sure to resonate with many.

Self-trust is essential—it's at the core of leadership and making decisions. Hannah and I explore the often quiet origins of self-doubt, from childhood influences to past criticisms, and the common fear of making mistakes. Join us as we discuss the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

• Why self-trust is the foundation of entrepreneurship

• How childhood and external influences shape our ability to trust ourselves

• The sneaky role perfectionism and comparison play in our self-doubt

• Simple, actionable strategies to start rebuilding self-trust

• Why small wins matter more than you think

• How to bounce back from mistakes and grow forward

As we wrap up this powerful episode, I hope you’re reminded that trusting yourself is a process, not a destination. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow. Whether you're just starting your business or have years in, self-trust is your greatest asset. We’re rooting for you.
