    Talking About Self-Talk

    Do you engage in negative self talk? Guess what, I do and I feel like I’ve gotten pretty negative with the negative self talk. And to be honest with you I was just called out for it and I have been thinking about it ever since. And of course I’ve found lots of occupational ties and insights with all this thinking about self talk.

    4 Ways Podcasting Made Me a Better Practitioner

    4 Ways Podcasting Made Me a Better Practitioner

    Would you believe me if I said that becoming a podcaster has changed my lyfe? Spoiler alert, it has. And after some reflection I realized that being a podcaster has also made me a better OT practitioner. Now lyfe has been a little busy over at the OT 4 Lyfe HQs, so busy that I didn’t have a chance to celebrate my 4 year anniversary of the OT 4 Lyfe podcast (which don’t judge but happened back in October). So since it’s been 4 years, I figured why not share 4 ways that podcasting has made me a better OT practitioner. And head on over to ot4lyfe.com for more resources and to connect with the show.

FW Level II Episode

As a current Level 2 student at a rural SNF in NYS, I needed nothing more than to listen to this podcast. Thank you all so much for the inspiration, hope, stories, and tips. I also have came home everyday in tears struggling to “save the world”, shake off the ethical dilemmas, pass my FW, and feel like a competent future OT. It makes me feel so much better to not be alone in this. Thank you again for taking the time to make this podcast, I really needed it!

Enjoy these podcasts

I’ve learned a lot from these podcasts.
Not just for students who are thinking about OT path but also for others. Great resources for parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals, patients, law/policy enforcements/makers, ...

Not just for the therapists

As a mom to a son with a rare disease I know how deep the passion runs in the therapists who choose to work with kids. I have gotten so much great insight from this podcast about the back end of their professions and it just solidifies how driven and empathetic they are. This is so full of important information and I’m so grateful it’s out there. Love all the collab with others.
