182 – Doing, Being, Becoming Collective ft Brad Williams

In this episode, Brock sits down with Brad from The Becoming Collective to unpack what it really means to come into alignment with the profession of occupational therapy — and what happens when we drift away from it. Brad opens up about the origins of The Becoming Collective, how it started as a space for meaningful connection and reflection, and how the group evolved (and sometimes dissolved) as members navigated burnout, personal growth, and the realities of professional life. Together, Brock and Brad explore: 🌊 The natural ebb and flow of professional identity — and how OTs can lose (and rediscover) their sense of purpose. 🔥 Burnout, disillusionment, and the courage it takes to pause and realign. 🧩 Why models and frameworks aren’t just academic tools, but anchors for reasoning, reflection, and reconnection with occupation. 🤝 The importance of community, vulnerability, and staying curious about who we are becoming as practitioners. This episode is a grounded, honest reflection on growth, drift, and renewal — reminding us that returning to the core of our profession often starts with reconnecting to ourselves.
