  • The Brave Podcast is a genuine gift to OTs!

    In listening to each podcast I felt so much enthusiasm about my unique profession! Although the journey has been challenging over the past 20 years,I learned that aligning our values and bringing more clarity in our OT and personal lives, can help us in the direction of peace and fulfillment. That’s something I would like to experience. I appreciated my friend and colleague Carlyn sharing her values and how she uses them in serving her OT community.
