Season 3 Episode 7: From Side Hustle to Something Bigger Tanya’s Accidental Business Expansion
Description
In this episode of OT Coaching Confidential, we meet Tanya an experienced OT who made the shift from public health to private work in search of better balance and flexibility. What started as a handful of clients quickly snowballed into a full-blown service, a small team of contractors, and the realities of running a business.
Tanya shares honestly about the challenges of scaling without a clear plan, navigating financial pressures, juggling clinical and business demands, and learning to set stronger boundaries in service delivery. We talk about managing complex psychosocial caseloads, the limitations of non-attendance policies in outreach services, and why working on the business is just as critical as working in it.
Together we unpack strategies for purposeful delegation, identifying admin support needs, and carving out protected time to refocus.
This conversation is a must-listen for any OT navigating growth in their private practice.
