In this powerful episode of OT Yourself to Freedom, Beki Eakins explores the hidden danger of the “so-so” life many Occupational Therapists find themselves trapped in. Not miserable enough to leave, but not fulfilled enough to truly feel alive. This episode is for OTs who keep thinking: “There has to be more than this.” Whether you work in the NHS, private practice, community OT, paediatrics, mental health, NDIS, hospital settings, or rehabilitation, this conversation dives deep into OT burnout, career dissatisfaction, nervous system exhaustion, and the growing desire many Occupational Therapists have to create more freedom, flexibility, impact, and income outside traditional healthcare systems. Beki shares her own story of Occupational Therapy burnout, leaving the NHS, building an online business, and why waiting for the “perfect time” may be costing you more than you realise.
