Olivia's Path to Mastery in Therapy and Self-Discovery
In this episode our conversation leads us through the hallowed halls of personal and professional milestones, with laughter and camaraderie around every corner. Olivia opens up about the profound satisfaction that comes from witnessing the small victories of her patients, while she navigates her own road of growth and self-compassion, inspired by a mother's wise suggestion. We also take a moment to celebrate the rich mentorship culture within healthcare—a bond that feels like family and fosters an environment where cutting-edge ideas flourish.
As we wrap up our chat, we delve into the creative adaptation of traditional practices, like integrating yoga into occupational therapy, offering a fresh perspective on patient care. We swap stories and debate the humorous realities of life swaps and the universal struggle with aging. With every anecdote and shared triumph, this episode encapsulates the passion and dedication that drive us in occupational therapy, serving as an inspiring reminder of why we pour our hearts into this work. So grab your favorite 'juice shot' and join us for an episode that's as inspiring as it is entertaining, and get ready to see the colorful world of occupational therapy through Olivia's eyes.
I had multiple moments, but just one in particular, where I was helping one of our stroke patients and she started crying at the end of the session because she was like I didn't know I'd be able to do this, and like you were able to motivate me and you know A, b and C and like that is why I do what I do, and it's those moments that make like that is what OT means to me, is just all these moments that I have with patients and it's it's just so rewarding and if I'm, you know, if I'm able to, to use my life and, you know, day by day, be able to help someone like that, like that, that is like occupational therapy to me, that's awesome.

Speaker 3:Yours tastes like ginger. You don't like ginger.
Speaker 1:She doesn't like ginger. Kyra's very particular about the food and she also doesn't like green things, so it's interesting that she picked the green.

Speaker 2:Be the angst. Yeah, I tried to just.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying.
Speaker 4:Oh man this is going to be.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying what you know about that son.
Speaker 3:So welcome to the podcast. This is your first time and we are happy to have you actually.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'm so excited, I'm stoked to be here. It was a long time in the making, I would say.
Speaker 3:It has been a very long time in the making. We've been working diligently to get you on the podcast.
Speaker 1:Busy girl podcast. Busy girl, busy girl commodity. What can I say?
Speaker 3:you? Are you actually so you're you're? Tell us a little bit about you. Tell, tell the people out there about you and about what you do um, oh, goodness, um okay I'm gonna just the microphone. Oh yeah, no, that's great.
Speaker 1:I didn't know how to do that.
Speaker 3:I thought I had to unscrew something?
Speaker 1:um. Okay well, I don't know how to do that. I thought I had to unscrew something. Okay Well, I don't know where to start.
Speaker 3:Start at the beginning. So you graduated from high school.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 3:And you decided like I'm done, I'm graduated.
Speaker 1:And then. And then I was either going to go to occupational therapy assistant school or, if that didn't work out, I was going to enlist in the military. Um, it was just two very polar opposites, I would say, but I was very interested in both and I was fine with either outcome. Um, so I only applied to one school because of it. I just was like, if it's that or it's nothing, and um, I got in, by the grace of god. I'm super thankful kyra's phone.
Speaker 3:Hold on a second. Kyra's phone is ringing. Wow, you hear that podcast land and I didn't answer whoever called them. Sorry, um so. So, before you were so rudely interrupted, I'm so sorry, it's fine, it's fine I know, right, it's fine people host um yeah, was very simple.
Speaker 1:I feel like I've been very blessed to have, you know, had a very um, just, I don't want to say easy, but it's been very straightforward from then on out. You know, I applied to the school, I got in, I went through, graduated and I passed my boards the first time and I landed basically my dream job after that. And, yeah, so it's been very. I've honestly feel like I've been very blessed and I don't think anyone, or most people, don't have it that easy coming straight out of high school and just even knowing what they want to do with their lives. I feel like there's so many different career paths that you can take, so I'm very thankful that I picked this one and it's done me very well, so thankful.
Speaker 3:How did you come up with the decision? I mean at 19,. I look at you sometimes and I say I compare myself at 19, and I'm like you all are so much more mature than I was at 19. And I'm just saying my sister's probably watching this like, oh yeah, definitely, but so much more mature than I was in terms of decision making and just going for it. I mean, kyra going off to the Philippines, you going off to go to school at 19. I don't think that I had that resolve. Where does that come from?
Speaker 1:I think that I've always had. I feel like I was always just years above my actual age and I did graduate high school pretty early. So I think when I applied to college, I want to say I was 17 or just turning 18 at that point, so, and that was a huge decision. But I knew in high school that my first option was going to be going into therapy. I wanted to be like a family therapist or like work with more like the pediatric population. I wanted to be like a family therapist or like work with more like the pediatric population and no offense to therapists out there but I did not want to just sit on an expensive leather couch and just not. That that's all they do. That sounds bad. But I just didn't want to like sit all day and I'm sure they can make it fun. That sounds bad, but I just didn't want to like sit. I don't know, I don't. I, you know it sounds kind of narrow minded, but I wanted to be active. So that's why I wanted to be like a personal trainer.
Speaker 1:And then, um, but both were very rewarding careers and so I felt like, okay, I still want to help people mentally and physically and make an impact, but I didn't really know what path that where that looked like. So I felt like I couldn't have both and I wanted both. So my mom at the time was going, um, she was going to Sandbridge for nursing and she was like, hey, they have this program called occupational therapy, look into it. So we went to the school and I talked to their admissions and I was like, oh, this sounds basically what I'm looking for, I'll just apply and that's what took me there. But I think I don't know, I think I always just had high hopes for myself and that would actually, you know, make a name for myself. Um, being the second oldest out of six kids, I knew I wanted to make an impact and, um, I don't know, I knew I wanted to go to college and stuff like that. So I knew what I wanted for my life, but I wasn't sure, like the direct path.
Speaker 3:So but, but since you've graduated from school now, you know you were a student here at Corona Hills, so I have to. I have to put this out there, because I thought I'm looking at Olivia today, right? Olivia today was not Olivia, obviously, when she started, because you know, olivia when she started was kind of like very unsure of yourself at that moment. Right, and I don't want to give away too much because we have trade secrets that happen here at corona hills physical therapy is our sponsor who reminds you to just get better but the idea behind you know, olivia when she started and olivia today are two different oliv.
Speaker 3:I remember we started talking about transfers. We went through some transfers and things. I remember day, I think it was day, one, week one. Whatever we started working on transfers it didn't go so well right.
Speaker 2:You just disassociating. Really it was a challenging moment.
Speaker 3:Let's just say that. But what?
Speaker 1:you got a nice way. How do you how?
Speaker 3:do you look back at that moment as compared to today? And when you look back at that moment, how do you, how do you, you know, quantify how much you evolved since that time? Because that's why you do a transfer today. And I was like holy smokes. I thought about that moment. I was like wow, what? How are you laughing pretty heavy over there?
Speaker 2:I just remember that day so vividly. I'm glad me too me too.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, I I mean night and day. I mean I was a teenager when I here, so I have to give myself some grace for that. And I think at that point I was very hard on myself because I felt like I had to prove myself with every little thing that I did, given my age and everyone that I was around had experience in the field. So I felt like I always just had to work like harder and be one step ahead if I was able to. So I think that's why I took that moment so much to heart, because I was just like I'm going to fail, basically, and just I felt like I feel like sometimes when you're young in the healthcare world, you can just have expectations are just set on you that you're not going to perform as well, and I felt like I just lived up to that in that moment.
Speaker 1:But flash forward to today, I feel like that moment was so um, I don't want to say monumental, but it was very monumental in my career, because now that I had that and I was like I'm never going to let that happen again, I'm going to try to do everything in my power, like I I just feel so much more confident walking out of there and I feel like I have a lot more grace with myself because that girl, that 19 year old, she was still learning and she was still in school and as a clinician you're always going to be learning, right. But I just feel like that was a very emotional moment. Very, very well, I was also, I mean, I guess not really at that time, but I mean I was doing clinicals all throughout the whole week and then I was working on the weekends. So I was. I felt like I was just spread so thin and I felt like it was like a given moment where, like any, any given moment, it just all came together in that given moment and you just let it out.
Speaker 1:Yes, Like any like, I just need a little oomph and a little do that and and that's what happened. But I would say that it happened and I feel like you guys are locked into my life Now. You guys aren't going. That video just lives rent free on Kyra's phone Still has it.
Speaker 2:I stopped it, though you did.
Speaker 3:You stopped it at a very critical moment At a very monumental time. What's so funny, though, is that, looking back at that, I always ask myself the question, and you're saying it right now. I wish I didn't stop yeah, no, that's the thing I. I kind of feel like that if, like, I had to ask kyra like in that moment now, would you have stopped the camera?
Speaker 2:no, I would have kept recording. I think it would have been a great like little video to show where she started yeah and then like to see where she is now, because I see her and I'm like, I'm so proud. Like you know, just to see how much she's grown as a clinician, and I think that would have been like a good little funny video, just a funny video From once I came.
Speaker 1:I think that you got the important part. Yes, I think the important part has been taken care of.
Speaker 2:Well, well, I got another one after you came back, right, I got yeah, the rebound, the rebound was good oh no, the rebound was actually what do you mean? The rebound? Well, I put up on the screen.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we can't give away too much trade secret in this, because I don't know. Okay, we'll talk after there's some, there's certain things about corona hills, physical therapy. That is just.
Speaker 1:It's just part of the culture you were like this, but when I was crying, oh, you gave it away. I was crying again, do you? Want to finish let's play a game where we see we all make a guess on how many videos of kyra has of me crying on her phone wow oh, how many.
Speaker 2:Wow, thank you. Wow, there's at least. There's only like there's a handful but I love them all, I love them all.
Speaker 1:It's like my stages in my life that you just have on your phone no, I'm like the proud mama, wait a second, how many videos have you shot of Olivia?
Speaker 3:you just like follow Olivia around and, like I just randomly like shoot Olivia.
Speaker 2:I just have random videos of her like doing things.
Speaker 1:I'm just like in my car crying and she's all laughing.
Speaker 3:I was weeping quietly.
Speaker 2:She's like no, that's good dang, that's a good moment, and the privacy of my car and she's just laughing.
Speaker 1:So that same day, like weeks down the line, like past that first day with the whole incident, mark, I like told him I was like guys. I was crying in my car on my way home after that just getting stuff out of my system, whatever. It's not a big him. I was like guys. I was crying in my car on my way home after that just getting stuff out of my system, whatever, it's not a big deal. I was fine. He was in front of me and he saw me in his rearview mirror crying on the same day yes, and he's like I saw you oh my gosh bless his heart.
Speaker 1:I know you don't. You don't tell me you can hold. Just hold that in to yourself. Some things are better not said out loud just trying to inform you and and provide support mako mako is about his.
Speaker 2:You know very spoken and very uh, yeah, no, I saw you straight forward in the car on your way home that day.
Speaker 1:No, no, literally that's like how it came out. But the thing is I was still a student and I feel like I was still kind of like iffy Not iffy, but you know, I'm still kind of like feeling it out. Then he hit me with that and I was just like but you guys were both students.
Speaker 3:You were both students.
Speaker 1:He was getting ready to leave soon already, like yeah, no I was like you're so advanced. Yeah, I was like you're so advanced.
Speaker 4:Well, when I came in I thought he was yeah yeah he's like hi I'm dr hansen and I was just like nice to meet you.
Speaker 1:My hands are like sweaty, I'm like shaking, like hi, no. And then you walked in. I was like hi, are you the student I know?
Speaker 3:I was just looking, so let me ask you this question now. So you've graduated, you're growing up. We're watching you grow up in front of our eyes. I like when Kyra's like. I feel like her big sister in this place here.
Speaker 2:I know I always tell her I feel like she's like my little sister. I've never had a little sister, I never really wanted a little sister, but like, yeah, like my work little sister, like I'm always so protective over her, like I don't know what it is, I can't explain.
Speaker 3:See, and you have your work, sister, now. And I like it because I always say I love to watch people, that I mentor, mentor other people, because to me that's an incredible gift in terms of, like, longevity. They say what are you here on this planet for and for what purpose? And it's great to watch people carry on that torch because I I believe in the things that I do, I believe watching people kind of emulate that and it just is just, it's just an incredible feeling so selfishly.
Speaker 3:I enjoy watching the two of you kind of go back and forth and it's it's really inspired. It really encourages me some days. So question it's his OT month. Well hold on a second, it is OT month, yeah.
Speaker 2:Shout out to all the OTs and the CODAs out there.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, and this OT month is special. I'm dedicating this to Carrie, who passed away earlier this year, one of the finest OTs that I've ever worked with, and rest in peace to your family and all of that you know. Shout out to you, kerry. I know you're watching and you know you're listening, so I just had to put that out there. But outside of that, um, what does now living in this world of OT mean to you and how do you see yourself in the future in this profession?
Speaker 3:That's a good question, I mean what does it mean to you to be in this profession as an occupational therapist?
Speaker 1:You know, I feel like that's something that I've kind of I don't want to say struggle with. You know, I feel like that's something that I've kind of um, I don't want to say struggle with, but like sometimes I'm just like Hmm, like you know, like not like in particular, where I was helping, um, one of our uh stroke patients and she started crying at the end of the session Cause she was like I didn't know I'd be able to do this, and like you were able to motivate me and you know A, B and C, and like that is why I do what I do, and it's those moments that make, like that is what OT means to me is just all these moments that I have with patients and it's, it's just so rewarding and if I'm, you know, if I'm able to, to use my life and, you know, day by day, be able to help someone like that, like that that is like occupational therapy, like to me that's awesome.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, that means you're in it for the right that's awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, definitely that means you're in it for the right reasons. That's awesome.
Speaker 3:So now we're in an age where we're cutting reimbursement for assistance, PTAs, CODAs. In some cases it's affecting the way assistants are being hired in clinics. They're scaling back on hiring assistants because why take a cut when we could just hire primary care providers to do the work? One of the things that I've been, I guess, passionate and encouraging you all to do is to find that secondary thing to help add value to you as a professional, and you've added yoga to your ranks.
Speaker 1:Yes, sir.
Speaker 3:Talk about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I practice yoga for about a little close to a year and the studio I practice that where they were having their teacher training and I got into it just because I needed like an outlet just to. I don't know I've done the whole weightlifting, the, the, the cardio, all of that, but I wanted something different. So that's what got me interested in just starting it. Um ended up loving it and so then I did their teacher training, so I went through my 200 hour certification. Um secured that and it just felt like I wanted to be able to spread it to everyone and anyone that I could. I feel like yoga is accessible to some extent, but I feel like sometimes, with maybe certain modifications or like certain patient populations, it's not really as popular to I don't know. Know, maybe some extent, but I wanted to at least have like my therapy knowledge and then adding this yoga aspect and see how I can merge the two. I would say it's been pretty great so far, um, you know, still taking it day by day.
Speaker 2:You gotta go get it. Uh, take a class with olivia.
Speaker 3:Well, we, we did take a we've. We did take a few classes with.
Speaker 2:Olivia, I didn't take a class.
Speaker 3:Wait a second.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait, wait. I did one class, if you remember. You were teaching over here and I didn't want to do it, but she was like you have to do it, so I did it One time.
Speaker 3:Oh, I do remember. I do remember. Okay, in all fairness, sorry, yes, I see.
Speaker 2:Why would I lie? Why are you guys attacking me?
Speaker 1:We didn't say you were lying.
Speaker 4:We just didn't know, the time.
Speaker 3:Now, I remember the time Because you were doing the adaptive yoga for stroke patients.
Speaker 1:I remember See, that's what I was saying there had to have been something.
Speaker 3:You know, I got to give Kyra a hard time because this is what I have to deal with every single day.
Speaker 1:This is what you are blessed with every single day.
Speaker 3:Thank you, it's all about your mindset.
Speaker 1:Mind set Good way to put it there you go.
Speaker 3:You see, it's all in how you look at it.
Speaker 4:Your perspective. Kyra it's how you look at things.
Speaker 3:We're going to have to close out the podcast in a little bit, so we just have a few questions to ask. Kyra, you want to ask those speed questions?
Speaker 4:What questions?
Speaker 3:You don't know what the speed questions are.
Speaker 2:I have no idea what they are, okay are.
Speaker 3:I have no idea what. Okay, here's the speed questions. Okay, here it is. If you had to go to the moon, what's one thing that you would take with you on the moon if you had to have it with you?
Speaker 1:I have a stuffed animal hello of my childhood dog. I would probably take that because I'd probably be scared you take the stuff I yeah, well, I was thinking you were thinking like inanimate object okay, I would. I would take, I would probably take that, or a blanket or a hoodie that's a lot of you're giving me a lot of time. Well, okay, it was a speed round. Now I'm just keep going, okay.
Speaker 3:So here's the next question if there's one food that you couldn't live without. What would it be?
Speaker 1:It's coffee or food.
Speaker 3:Coffee. You consume it, so I'm going to count it as a food group.
Speaker 1:If anybody disagrees.
Speaker 3:Iced coffee Iced coffee.
Speaker 1:And where are you getting iced coffee? From Starbucks? Yeah, starbucks.
Speaker 3:Starbucks is not a sponsor of this podcast. We need to stop.

Speaker 4:Okay, honey, it's on October 6th. Oh well, I think we're celebrating on the 6th, Are? What day is it? Wait? No, it's not, it's on October 6th. Oh well, I think we're celebrating on the 6th. Are you lying right now? I have no idea, but I think we're celebrating on the 6th. I'm going to talk to your mom after this.
Speaker 3:I say, sharon, if that is not true, please ground Kyra, because she deserves to be grounded.
Speaker 1:And make her run the half marathon. And make her run the half marathon. Wait what if your little brother ran, I know what if your older brother ran? What if your older brother ran? She's like so there's power in numbers, it doesn't change anything, I'll see them when they get home.
Speaker 3:How about that?
Speaker 4:Matt, let's set her up to do the half marathon.
Speaker 3:Listen, Loki, I think Kyra's training for this thing.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, imagine we're on the start line and Kyra just has her watch ready.
Speaker 3:I feel like Kyra's going to be up front. She's going to be like doing her little bop thing and ready to go, and then we're going to look up, we're going to wait, is that Kyra?
Speaker 2:Okay, this is the thing Olivia's been trying to get me to do this half marathon, and I was telling her earlier we're only see each other at the start line and she's going to be done according to her little watch thing that predicts her time An hour after Kyra An hour and 52 minutes.
Speaker 1:Wow, do you actually remember that?
Speaker 2:That's pretty crazy. That's what her half marathon time is going to be. That's bananas. And I'm like after like an hour and 52 minutes I'm going to be on mile number two.
Speaker 3:Like Kyra comparison.
Speaker 2:Four and 52 minutes I'm gonna be on mile number two, like comparison is the thief of joy.
Speaker 1:Wow, I love that, but then I thought we were supposed to do this together, you then. Well, if we can train together, no child gets left behind no child left behind.
Speaker 3:Listen, we need to put that quote on the board today. What? That comparison is the thief of what.
Speaker 1:Joy. It is a thief of joy. I love that.
Speaker 2:I know there's enough success in the world for everyone. And I'm just going to be as your big sister, I'm going to be cheering you on.
Speaker 1:How awesome would it be if you were like I can't do this, but like why hey?
Speaker 3:everybody. Dr Hanson here with the Ask, and we hope that you're enjoying this special episode with our guest Olivia. Now, don't forget, you can now enjoy our podcast on Apple, itunes, spotify, youtube or wherever you enjoy listening to your favorite podcast. So we hope that you join us for our next episode, where we will be discussing the very controversial topic that's been floating around the internet for a while Should students be paid for their clinical affiliations? But before we did that, we asked Olivia the same question to get her thoughts as a recent OT school graduate. So here's a quick preview of our next episode.
Speaker 1:You know, lou wouldn't want a paycheck. Don't pay me please. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 2:Agreed. I think we're all on the same page with that.
Speaker 3:Students out there of the world.
Speaker 2:Just different.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I agree with all of this. I might actually support you all getting paid. Oh, give me a break, watch out for the next podcast You'll have to listen to see what my opinion might be on whether or not students should or should not get paid to do their internship. Kyra may actually support you all not getting paid. You guys will have to find out, you'll have to listen and find out.
Speaker 1:Are you going to listen, Olivia, and find out? I will be listening.
Speaker 3:We're still voting Because I am interested. We're still voting, I guess.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you I would say that I don't know. I think you need and I'm not saying like the lows I think you need those those moments where, because it's like I think you need to be in those positions, because I feel like it really shapes you and it really you, and as rewarding as a paycheck is when you're, when you're a student, like your reward afterwards, I feel like, is graduating your license, like that's, that's still your work, if that kind of makes sense. Like afterwards, yeah, your your day as a clinician, you get, get a paycheck, that's your reward. But I don't know, I feel like you need those times to like, really like develop who you are as a clinician.

Speaker 2:You guys will have to watch out and see if I change my mind.
Speaker 3:I think she's going to be at the starting line. I don't care what anybody says. I feel like Kyra is going to be at the starting line.
Speaker 1:Wait, guys, I'm sorry to mention this, but if I was Matt for a day, yes, you did not answer the question. Don't worry, I remembered. Yes, take it back If I was Matt for a day. You know what? If I was Matt for a day, I think I would have to.
Speaker 1:I don't know how to word this, but I think I would have to like oh, I don't know how to like word this but like I think I would maybe like, because you're jamaican, right, right, so like I think I would like dive into that a little bit. Like I don't know, I think I would did you just beep like?
Speaker 3:I found the bleep button. Go ahead. No, no, no, go ahead, go ahead go ahead okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, I think I would like, I don't know, like I feel like I maybe like found some music and like dance around, like eat some food, I think I would like I don't know Like, I feel like I'd maybe like put on some music and like dance around or like eat some food. I think I would just have like a little party.
Speaker 3:I don't think. I don't think it'd be a good idea because, based on Kyra, the knees might be bad.
Speaker 1:The knees might be bad, but that'd be so much fun Come on, you might hurt your wrist.
Speaker 3:I think Vaughn pushed me that time, though. Oh no, that's my story. I'm sticking to that, even though he was like 50 yards away. That's my story, I'm sticking to it.
