2. What Freedom Really Means for Occupational Therapists

It is easy to say "OT yourself to freedom." Working out what that means is harder.

Beki Eakins sold her house, moved her family into a camper van, and booked a one way ticket to Europe for April 2020. They never got on the plane. What followed was months of being homeless and jobless in a van during a pandemic, technically freer than she had ever been.

This episode is what that taught her. Why freedom is not the same as travel, why more choice is not always better, and why she now thinks freedom is mostly an internal state rather than a set of circumstances.

In this episode:

  • Why the dictionary definition of freedom is less useful than it looks
  • The difference between freedom and choice, and why more choice is not always better
  • Why some business models feel free at the start and trap you later
  • The camper van, the cancelled flight, and what it taught her about location freedom
  • Freedom as an internal state rather than a set of circumstances
  • Why the online space suits a freedom-style business
  • Finding your purpose and building the business around it rather than the other way round
