Summary
In this solo episode, Cathy Love pulls back the curtain on what has been filling her days, her headspace, and her conversations lately. From phone calls with Allied Health Business Owners across the country to discussions with advocates, stakeholders and politicians, this is a grounded reflection on what leadership looks like when the sector feels uncertain, pressured and in transition. Cathy shares what she has been reading, what she has been listening to, and what has been helping her think more clearly as reforms continue to unfold across the NDIS, Foundational Supports, Thriving Kids and aged care. She also reflects on the difference between stress and tension, the value of thinking space, and why business owners need to stay connected, steady and responsive in moments like this. Topics covered on leadership under pressure, thinking space and business readiness : What Cathy is hearing from Allied Health Business Owners – Cathy shares what is coming through in coaching conversations right now, including concerns about reform, readiness, decision-making and how owners are supporting both their people and their businesses. Why tension is not always a bad thing – A powerful idea from Seth Godin helps reframe tension as something that can signal movement, possibility and meaningful change, rather than something to avoid. What is helping Cathy stay steady and clear – Cathy talks through the books, podcasts, conversations and personal rhythms helping her stay thoughtful and grounded while leading through a demanding season.
