Season 2 Episode 8: Figuring Out Time, Boundaries, and Working for Yourself with Taylor
Summary
In this episode of OT Coaching Confidential, I sit down with Taylor, an Occupational Therapist who has moved through hospital rotations, mental health, and now community-based NDIS work. She’s built strong clinical confidence - but is now planning how to run her own business!
Taylor shares her reflections on navigating time pressures, unclear expectations around billables, and the early stages of considering what working for herself might look like.
Together, we explore:
- What it feels like to be confident clinically but still unsure of your direction.
- Managing time and ensuring you are billing effectively across a mixed caseload.
- How sole trading is often the next step for building a professional practice that aligns with your professional values.
- Why reflecting on what doesn’t work can help shape what comes next.
This thoughtful, real conversation is for any therapist who’s built something solid—but is starting to wonder what comes after “getting good at the job.”
