187 – 12 Months of Following Along the Newgrad Experience ft Courtnee Bertucci

More than a year in the making, this episode follows Courtnee Bertucci across three check-ins throughout her first year as a new graduate Occupational Therapist. Instead of a single retrospective reflection, we captured her experience in real time — documenting the emotional shifts, clinical growth, and evolving professional identity as it unfolded. Together, we unpack confidence, imposter syndrome, uncertainty, and the slow building of competence that shapes year one. From early nerves and self-doubt to growing clarity and resilience, this is an honest look at what really changes between month one and month twelve — and what it actually feels like to become an OT.
