97. How Kelsey Baker Built Two OT Businesses From Scratch — Including a $35,000 Launch

Welcome back to OT Yourself to Freedom! In this soul-nourishing episode, I’m joined by Kelsey, an inspiring OT, entrepreneur, and deeply intuitive human for a conversation about the power of the pause. Together we unpack what it means to trust yourself, how to honour your own timing in business, and why rest can be a radical act of alignment. Kelsey shares how she navigated uncertainty, release, and recalibration in her business journey, and how she came out the other side clearer, stronger, and more in tune with what freedom really means.
