Summary
Building What Didn’t Exist: A Mother’s Vision This week on Busy Mom Talk, Kianna sits down with Julia Reid , co-owner of Play On Paediatrics Therapy in Ottawa. Julia shares how her background as an athletic therapist and her lived experience as a mom to a neurodivergent child led her to build something that didn’t exist when she needed it most. What began as a personal gap in care became a clinic rooted in empathy, access, and true family-centred support. Motherhood in Real Time: Lived Experience Matters As a mom of four, Julia brings a deeply human perspective to parenting. She speaks openly about always putting her children first, navigating different needs, personalities, and challenges, and how becoming a parent reshaped both her career and her purpose. This conversation highlights the power of lived experience — how parenting through real moments, not textbooks, informs how we show up for our kids and for other families. A One-Stop Space for Every Child Play On Paediatrics Therapy was built to be the place every parent wishes existed: a one-stop shop where children and families can access physiotherapy, psychology, speech therapy , and a wide range of supports under one roof. Julia explains why integrated care matters, how it reduces stress for families, and why children thrive when services communicate and collaborate instead of operating in silos. Connection Over Perfection One of the most powerful themes in this episode is connection . Julia shares how maintaining strong relationships with her kids has always been her anchor — especially through chaos, exhaustion, and uncertainty.
