Podcast Description
My husband used to say something that always stuck with me. He said “Your goals should SCARE you a little and EXCITE you a lot.”
My goal for the PODCAST is to :
- Shine a spotlight on the great work that caregivers do to transform patients lives
- Raise awareness of the importance of Occupational Therapy to improve patient care
- Share heartfelt stories from real patients across the world
This project has been both scary and exciting... but I’m so pleased with the result!
I hope you enjoy!

Martina interviews Odeth Richardson, Head of Service for Occupational Therapy in Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals and Chair of Council for RCOT and BAOT.
Odeth has a quiet strength and a thoughtful perspective. We talked about:
✨ The current challenges facing Occupational Therapists
✨ The important work of the RCOT and how it supports its members
✨ The transformative Equality, Diversity and Belonging policy
✨ Why OTs should be more involved in supporting women and girls in sheltered accommodation
✨ And… we discovered her hidden talent — poetry! 💫
👉 Watch the full episode and stay to the end to hear Odeth read her beautiful poem, inspired by Maya Angelou and the RCOT’s phoenix symbol.
