Ep.19 / Occupational Therapist to Coach: Navigating Career and Life Transitions with Awareness / Milinda Alexander
Description
What if the beliefs holding you back aren’t facts - but just “sticky thoughts”?
In this episode, I chat with Milinda Alexander, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), to hear her journey from occupational therapist to solution-focused coach. We talk about how self-awareness can be a powerful tool for serving others (what therapists call “therapeutic use of self”), how asking the right questions can spark real motivation and change, how to structure your day with focus, and when to trust your intuition.
With over 30 years of experience working in mental health, Milinda shares how to spot and shift sticky thoughts - the false beliefs like “I’m not good enough” - and create new patterns that empower you to move forward. She also shares her top book recommendations that continue to inspire her own journey.
Whether you’re rethinking your career or learning to quiet self-doubt, this conversation offers both practical tools and insights to embrace change with clarity and courage.
