85. Take the Busy Out of Business: The Shift OT Entrepreneurs Must Make Now

In this episode of the OT Self to Freedom Podcast, host Beki Eakins, a business mindset and lifestyle coach for occupational therapists, shares her personal journey from burnout in a traditional OT role to creating a thriving, flexible, and profitable online business. Beki offers valuable insights on lifestyle goals, mindset shifts, and business strategies essential for building a freedom-based online business.

She discusses the importance of prioritising alignment over hustle, making the most of technology and automation, and tackling subconscious beliefs that keep OTs trapped in a cycle of busyness. The episode seeks to inspire OTs to consider new business models that offer more time freedom and a greater positive impact.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why perfectionism is not the path to success in business

  • How OTs often confuse high standards with fear of failure

  • What happens when we tie our worth to our output

  • Why many OTs struggle to celebrate success—and why this matters

  • How to spot the saboteur shadow that sneaks in when success is near

  • The importance of gratitude and shadow work in rewiring your business mindset
