Episode Details

In this eye-opening episode of OT Yourself to Freedom, Beki dives deep into the infamous world of cold DMs - the messages that can either create genuine, life-changing connections or have business owners breaking out in a cold sweat.

Let’s be honest... cold DMs have a bad name, and today we’re unpacking why that is, what’s really behind the emotional charge, and how occupational therapists can approach connection ethically and authentically.

If you’ve ever hated being sold to, felt scared of reaching out, or worried about rejection - this episode is for you. Expect powerful mindset shifts, practical strategies, and a fresh perspective on how to build real relationships that feel good and lead to business growth.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What a cold DM actually is (and why it’s misunderstood)
• Why emotional baggage around sales could be sabotaging your success
• How rejection triggers real pain - and what to do about it
• A new, authentic approach to messaging that OTs can use with confidence
• Why connecting with strangers online could be the best thing you ever do for your business
