The Identity We Weave: Occupational Therapy

Welcome to The Identity We Weave Join Rhiannon Crispe, Emeritus Professor Elizabeth Townsend and Emeritus Professor Gail Whiteford for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about the heart of occupational therapy. We explore: – IDENTITY: Who we are as occupational therapy professionals across diverse spaces and systems. – LANGUAGE: Why language matters — and how reclaiming it shapes our future. – SYSTEMS: How to stay connected to the soul of OT in systems that sometimes constrain it. – FUTURE: How to move forward with bold advocacy, collaboration and heart. This conversation speaks to the OT professionals who have ever questioned their place, felt the tension between meaning and system pressures, or yearned for deeper connection to the roots of our profession. Whether you're a student, clinician, educator or leader - you are part of the tapestry we're weaving together. About the Host: Rhiannon Crispe is an occupational therapist and founder of The OT Lifestyle Movement — a global community reimagining what it means to live and practice occupational therapy with authenticity, purpose and passion.
