Diarized excerpt from Episode 317 (Hallie Bulkin) discussing feelings of professional belonging within occupational therapy (OT), mutual peer support across experience levels, and an example of a colleague (Shayla) presenting on low muscle tone—listeners reflect that everyone has a place and can both teach and learn. The tone is conversational and supportive.
Like some. Whatever it was last summer, they were, is this going to be good for me as an ot? Do I have a seat at this table? Is this the right place? And I was like, what are y' all talking.
About? Yes, of course you do. I honestly felt that way. And just talking to everybody, I was like, I do fit in. We all fit in. We need each other. Yes. Like, from the more experience to the ones who wasn't. But it wasn't always. Whoever had the most experience was always on top and knew everything because it was topics where the most experience was learning from the ones who were brand new to it, but they were just more familiar with that area. Like, I remember, I think it was Shayla who talked about the presentation on Low Tone, and it was really magnificent for her. And she watched it numerous of times just because it was a huge curve for her. But I felt right at home. I was like, yep, Beth, yep, I know about that girl. Yeah, it was great.
