In this thought-provoking episode of the OT Yourself to Freedom Podcast , Beki explores a controversial topic that many Occupational Therapists experience but few openly discuss: the culture of fear surrounding business, money, entrepreneurship, coaching programmes, and alternative career paths within the OT profession. If you've ever considered starting an online business, launching a private practice, creating a course, offering coaching, or building additional income streams as an Occupational Therapist, you've probably heard the warnings: \"Be careful.\" \"Sounds like a scam.\" \"Don't trust anyone selling a dream.\" But where do these beliefs come from, and are they actually helping Occupational Therapists create better lives? In this episode, Beki unpacks the psychological, cultural, and societal forces that shape how OTs think about risk, money, success, and professional growth.
