Holly the OT

Send us Fan MailTrying something a little different this week!If you’ve been listening to the podcast lately, you’ll know I’ve been pretty open about coming out the other side of burnout and trying to build better habits into my work weeks so I don’t end up back there again. One of the things I’m really trying to stick to is actually reflecting on my week instead of just pushing through to the next one.So in this episode, I’m basically talking through my Friday reflection using my Pause & Ponder Pad ! The highs, the tricky bits, what made me smile, where my energy and self-care sat this week and what I need heading into the weekend.My hope is that by sharing mine out loud it might encourage you to pause and think about your own week too. Reflection is one of those things we all know is helpful… but it’s very easy to skip when life gets busy.Happy Listening!https://hollytheot.com/products/pause-and-ponder-reflection-pad

Send us Fan MailPart 2 of the burnout bounce back series is here, and we are chatting about the slow crawl out of burnout No magical fix, no huge life-changing breakthrough, just lots of tiny things that actually helped me start feeling human again. I talk about why my nervous system was absolutely cooked and the little shifts that helped (like less screen time, tiny walks, better routines, more connection, and being way kinder to myself instead of trying to fix everything overnight)If you’ve ever been burnt out and then also overwhelmed by the idea of "recovering" from burnout... same. This one’s for you

Send us Fan MailBella is the definition of OT brain + creative brain = making MAGICIn this episode, I’m joined by Bella (OT + ex-Mecca makeup artist) who’s about to launch Flexi Beauty, a seriously innovative makeup brush system designed for people with limited hand and wrist function.We chat all things: how the idea started, what it’s really like doing product development as a young OT, testing prototypes and why makeup absolutely counts as self-care and participation.If you love OTs doing cool stuff, you’re going to LOVE this one.

Send us Fan MailAn episode I wish I never had to record, but one that will hopefully resonate with those on a similar journey. Last year, I burnt out. This year, I’m making sure it never happens again.I’ve been on a huge journey the last 12 months and have learnt so much about what it means to live a balanced, healthy life and run my businesses sustainably. I’m going to share everything I think contributed and how I got myself out.Listen with kindness, and remember that everyone’s journey is different. This is mine.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Holly the OT Podcast! I popped a question box on my stories and you absolutely delivered. In this Q&A, I share unfiltered, honest thoughts on what life and work in the NT really look like, how I’d run the NDIS if I had a magic wand, and where I think OTA advocacy can keep pushing forward. I also chat about growing my practice without burning out, surviving placement with your sanity intact, finding (and thriving in) a new-grad role, and plenty more along the way.Happy Listening!

Sam share's about what it is really like being an aquatic OT, and how it really is the same as what a "land-based OT" does - just more fun ;)Sam’s got an infectious passion and energy and I know you will all LOVE this chat. H2OT Website: https://www.h2otalliedhealth.com.au/H2OT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/h2ot_alliedhealth/?hl=enHappy listening <3

Use my code HOLLYOT15 for 15% off your annual subscription! https://otuition.com.au/Welcome back to Holly the OT podcast! Today's guest is the absolute legend that is Caitlin Stejskal. Caitlin is the founder of ClinicianX - but before that, she was a burnt-out early year therapist who took off on a 14 month adventure around Australia. During her travels she got stuck into locum work in regional locations across the country, and found herself pondering on the lack of supervision available to OT's in these areas. ClinicianX was born from the idea of making high quality supervision more accessible. ClinicianX gives supervisors the opportunity to showcase their experience and personalities, while also giving supervisees the chance to find support from someone who they know they'll gel with. Caitlin shares about the journey to her tech start up, navigating the anxiety and fear of judgement as an early year therapist trying to do something different, the future plans for the platform and SO much more. To learn more: Website: www.clinicianx.com.auCaitlin's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caitlin-stejskal-263a5b211/?originalSubdomain=au
