113. Ageing as an Occupational Transition: Why OTs Are the Ones to Lead

In today’s powerful episode of OT Yourself to Freedom, host Beki Eakins explores a conversation that most occupational therapists rarely hear inside traditional services — yet it’s one of the biggest opportunities for our profession:

Ageing is not decline.
Ageing is an occupational transition.
And OTs are perfectly placed to lead the way.

This episode challenges the fear-based, symptom-obsessed messaging dominating social media and shines a light on what ageing really is: a series of evolving roles, routines, identities and occupations that require skilled, holistic support.

If you’re an Occupational Therapist interested in expanding beyond the paediatric world, building a freedom-based online business, or stepping into a niche with enormous demand, this episode is essential listening.
