What started as a small idea in her living room grew into a global mission, supporting hundreds of clinicians across Australia, New Zealand and the UK.🔍 What we cover in this episode: • The moment that sparked Rachel’s shift from burnout to bold leadership • The rise of Better Rehab and Better Days: 700+ team members, systems that empower, a vision beyond treatment • How confidence, curiosity and courage, not just credentials, shape true leadership • The power of mindset: when you can’t change your thoughts, you can change your feelings - and that shift ripples into action • Why “plodding” (slow, steady progress) often outpaces flashy shortcuts when you’re building something that mattersWhether you’re an OT student, a leader in healthcare, or simply on the lookout for a story of purpose and persistence, Rachel’s journey will remind you that small steps, bold belief and community make all the difference.🎧 Thanks for tuning in, and if you’re inspired by this episode, I’d love to hear what resonates with you.
