Description
The OTs Gone Rogue podcast is for occupational therapists who are ready to think differently, challenge themselves in new ways, and create meaningful change through the work they do.
Hosted by Melissa LaPointe, the show features candid conversations with special guests who offer different perspectives on entrepreneurship, leadership, program development, and professional identity.
Through real-world stories, thoughtful questions, and practical insights, we explore not only what people are building, but what they're learning, questioning, and becoming along the way.

These show notes are going to look a little different, because this episode felt a little different to record. This isn't a typical guest interview. It's much more of a storytelling episode, one where I'm sharing pieces of my own story through the experiences I've had with my guest, Rozalind Panasuk, over the last year. It started when I was getting ready to fly across the country for a weekend of video content creation with my team. I was feeling pretty uncomfortable with the idea of spendin...
What if the next chapter of your work isn't something new... What if it's something you already started? As we head into the final stretch of 2026, Melissa's been going back through more than a decade of OTGR's own work — legacy programs, old trainings, archived coaching calls, frameworks taught years ago — while rewriting most of the OTGR website from the ground up. That process surfaced a question worth sitting with as you head into your own Q4 planning: instead of asking what else you shou...

In this episode, Melissa gets into what that shift actually looks like in practice. It's not linear and it's not a clean progression. Some days you're the practitioner, some day...
There are seasons in life where the old version of you no longer fits… but the next version of you hasn’t fully taken shape yet. In this reflective episode, Melissa explores the concept of liminality — the in-between space between who you were and who you’re becoming. What started as frustration while rewriting the OTs Gone Rogue website eventually became a much deeper realization that sometimes we’re not lost or unclear… We’re simply in transition. Through stories from her evolving work, her...
Learning doesn’t happen in isolation - it happens inside full lives. In a year that holds leadership responsibilities, business growth, graduate studies, travel, family life, and personal capacity, often the roadblock isn’t “What should I learn next?”, but rather, “How does continued learning fit into the life I’m actually living?” In the final episode of the Continuing Professional Education mini-series, Melissa shares how she designed a learning pathway that fits inside an already-full year...
