Rerun: Wellbeing, Balance, and Remote Work

Mia Poklepovich — Occupational Therapist, founding director of OT Inspire and The Freedom Therapist Club from Alice Springs joins Cathy Love to talk about building a values-led practice that serves remote First Nations communities. Mia shares how her team blends on-country outreach with a strong telehealth model and parent education to ensure continuity when weather, sorry business, or access barriers arise.  They explore moving beyond “traditional therapy” towards a generalist approach that looks at the whole person, the power of listening and cultural safety, and why running a business in seasons guards against burnout. Mia also opens up about scaling teams, protecting energy, and designing weeks that honour both client impact and life outside work.  Topics covered on generalist OT, remote outreach, telehealth & seasons of business: Generalist Occupational Therapy – Why broad, across-the-lifespan skills matter (especially under the NDIS) and how to stay within scope while meeting real-world needs. Culturally safe remote services – Building trust, listening first, and tailoring supports for each community’s language, practices, and priorities. Telehealth & parent programmes – Inside “Empowered Emotions” and how online groups reduce isolation and strengthen co-regulation at home. Energy, seasons & boundaries – Planning work in quarterly rhythms, protecting morning rituals, and matching tasks to your best energy.  P.S. Need a little extra support on your business journey? Whether you’re navigating challenges or looking to reach new goals, we’re here to support your growth.   Book a Complimentary Power Call with us, and let’s talk about how we can help you achieve your vision for your Allied Health business.   Midroll Message: Get a quick snapshot of how your Allied Health business is doing with our Biz Quiz.    Connect with Nacre Consulting: Let’s connect on Instagram Follow us on Facebook Let’s connect on LinkedIn Join our Facebook Group online community  More about The Allied Health Business Brilliance Podcast:  The Allied Health Business Brilliance podcast (previously known as Private Practice Made Perfect) powered by Nacre Consulting features authentic conversations that offer real-life stories and expert perspectives for Australian Allied Health Business Owners.
