PODCAST: Irish Occupational Therapy Podcast - Therapist to Trailblazer

Kim recently sat down with OTs Jen Trzeciak and Dr Áine O'Dea from the Irish Occupational Therapy Podcast, a show that brings you the most up to date information, insights and chat from Occupational Therapy (OT) services across Ireland. This podcast has something for everyone interested in health and wellbeing.

Irish Occupational Therapy Podcast Episode Description:

In their conversation, Kim shares her journey from clinician to international educator and business owner, a path marked not by rigid planning but by courage, intuition, and trust in her calling. We discuss the evolution of private practice, the challenges and the learning that come with stepping outside traditional models, and the importance of cultural sensitivity when working across countries and contexts. Kim reflects on the role of resilience, fierce love, and relational approaches in Irish occupational therapy, offering encouragement for Occupational Therapists to embrace their values and approach their work with curiosity and compassion.

This inspiring dialogue serves as a reminder of how our profession can evolve when we ground ourselves in being, doing, belonging, and becoming, both for our clients and for ourselves.

The discussion also highlighted Kim’s upcoming training in Cork, Ireland, hosted by Hand in Hand Children’s Occupational Therapy in October! More information on that workshop can be found here.
