Hi there! I'm Beki Eakins, a business mindset and lifestyle coach for occupational therapists. If you’re an OT aiming to build a life of freedom while sharing your skills in a meaningful way, this blog post is for you. Today, I want to dive into a crucial topic for any OT wanting to succeed...
As occupational therapists (OTs) venture into entrepreneurship, many find that one of their biggest challenges is mastering sales. Transitioning from a healthcare provider focused solely on patient care to a business owner navigating sales can feel intimidating. In this post, we’ll explore...
Last week, we discussed time and why you might have more of it than you realise. This week, let’s delve into something equally important for entrepreneurs: the many ways you may be unintentionally wasting it. If you’re in the early stages of building a business, avoiding these...
In both personal and professional life, it’s common to see a negative habit: pulling others down. Even when we aim to be positive and supportive, many of us have faced criticism or judgement from others. This could be in the form of small comments or direct accusations. This behaviour hurts...
When we talk about "OT Yourself to Freedom," what does that actually mean when we break it down? Freedom is a word that evokes countless images: the open road, no alarm clocks, and perhaps even the absence of a traditional nine-to-five job. We often associate freedom with the idea of...

The move from the UK to Cairns, Australia has been relatively easy. When you fly for 20 odd hours you kind of expect to arrive somewhere very different culturally. But it feels very similar to the UK so it was less of an adjustment.
The kids have travelled a lot so they were used to asking...
I started this blog because I have taken the big risk of booking a 3 month trip to Australia with the kids on my own…
The last few weeks have been full of travel. I drove from North Wales to south of the UK to spend a week in a yurt in Cornwall. I took the kids and Lizzie the dog for an 8...
