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!
