Healthcare Changed My Perspective on Life

In this solo episode, I’m talking about how working in healthcare has completely changed my perspective on life. From witnessing vulnerable moments to realizing how quickly life can change, healthcare has taught me not to take my health, time, or simple everyday abilities for granted. I dive into the importance of taking care of your body while you can, being present for loved ones, and the emotional impact that comes with caring for others every day. Whether you work in healthcare or not, this episode is a reminder to slow down, appreciate the little things, and protect your physical and mental well-being.

Certifications & Cuticles

This week, Kiana and I are diving into the world beyond the OT/PT degrees. We are breaking down different certifications, such as pelvic floor therapy, vision, LSVT-BIG, and more. Plus… a little multitasking moment because Kiana is casually doing my nails while we record lol. Equal parts informative and unfiltered, just how we like it!!

Tough Topics

In this episode, we’re getting into some of the tougher conversations in the therapy field. We talk about the realities of salaries in the field, the pressure surrounding board exams, and what it’s like to fail the boards and find the confidence to keep going. Of course, it wouldn’t be our podcast without a little bit of a yap session, too. We catch up on some current favorites, including our thoughts on Love on the Spectrum and the Poppi soda obsession that seems to be everywhere lately. It’s a mix of honest healthcare talk, real experiences, and a little pop culture to keep things fun. If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt the pressure of exams, or just need a relatable chat, this one’s for you.
