    Ep. 12 - Finding What Works for You: ADHD, Motherhood & OT with Nikki Roche - Part 1

    What does it really look like to balance life as a paediatric OT, business owner, mum and ADHDer? In Part 1, Cheri sits down with paediatric OT Nikki Roche for an open and relatable conversation about finding what works for your brain, your work and your life. They chat about the realities of running an OT business, the importance of support and delegation, the hidden work that happens outside of client sessions, using AI thoughtfully in practice, and learning to redefine what “productivity” actually looks like. Nikki also shares how understanding her own ADHD, strengths and learning style has shaped the way she works with children and families — and why support should work with the person, not against them. A conversation about self-awareness, flexibility, asking for help and figuring out what works for you. ✨ Connect with Nikki Instagram: @building.creative.children.ot Website: www.buildingcreativechildren.com.au Be sure to follow us on instagram @ots_figuringitout This podcast is brought to you by Charge Your Mind Program, WonderGlowOT and Joyful Journey OT.
