Empowering OT business owners to THRIVE without the HUSTLE.

I see it over and over again. OTs get stuck at various spots in their business journey and the way out usually isn't more business knowledge. It's building self-awareness and challenging old patterns of responding to the internal obstacles that arise.

We often hit internal speed bumps related to perfectionism, self-doubt, 'imposter syndrome', fear of judgement, fear of failure, limiting beliefs, over-functioning, putting our own needs last, being afraid to say NO, and having an unhealthy relationship to productivity.

We often set out to start businesses so that we could have more freedom to practice in a values-aligned way and flexibility in our lives. Then automatic, fear-based patterns of behaviour show up and we lose sight of the life we really want to be living.

I'd love to explore what THRIVING in all of your roles would look like and see how I can help you find more CLARITY, BALANCE, FLOW and VITALITY in all you do.

In this call we will put our heads together and see what you need to get where you want to be. We will explore the possibility of working together so that you get the community, support and guidance you need to make important shifts in the way you work and live.

Here's what some of the OTs working with Carlyn have to say

Occupational Therapists tell me all the time that they really want to get off the path to burnout and find their way toward a life with more FULFILLMENT, AUTHENTICITY, PURPOSE, & VITALITY in all of their roles.

Often they are often lacking the clarity, courage, and calm to choose a direction and persist in taking the steps toward lasting positive change in the way they live and work. They are often burning out with more responsibility and expectation in all areas of their life than is manageable.

As an OT myself, I get it. I've started a private practice as a side gig, built it up to a 6 figure business, and in order not to burn out, I pivoted to something outside of the clinical box. Here's the secret, I was also fearful - afraid of judgement, failure, and even afraid of success. (Who did I think I was anyway?) I did a ton of personal development and took my own advice as a mental health OT in order to move toward THRIVING.

When you're burning out or stuck behaviour patterns that don't align with your intentions, goals, and dreams, it's hard to see your way out, let alone get onto the trailblazing you'd really like to do! Let's talk and see if you are ready to Rise & Live Fully.

LIVE LIFE INTENTIONALLY: ATTUNED, ALIGNED, AWARE ACTION

That looks a little different for each individual. Here's what a few of the people I've worked with have to say:

Now I help other deep thinking, big feeling, heart-centred OTs do the same.

Truly accepting that we are not meant to walk this journey alone. Releasing yourself from the guilt of not succeeding with “OTing” yourself. Time, encouragement and opportunity to reflect on how we are actually living our lives (work and personal). Learning how to observe our thoughts and feelings from a nonjudgmental place, while connecting with a community of brave OTs who encourage and support each other to slow down in order to make changes that allow us to lean in and live more in alignment with our values (and less in the hustle culture societal norm). (This program has not taught me to be brief or succinct 😆).
