Episode Details

What really happens when you become a mum, and why does no one talk about the emotional shift?

In this episode of the OT Yourself to Freedom Podcast, host Beki Eakins is joined by her client Helen Buteux, an occupational therapist who supports mums through the transition into motherhood using both her professional OT training and her lived experience as a mum of two.

This honest and grounding conversation explores the emotional impact of becoming a parent, the loss of confidence many mums experience, and how occupational therapy skills are uniquely placed to support mental wellbeing in early motherhood.

Helen also shares how she built a freedom-based online business as an occupational therapist while on maternity leave, navigating broken sleep, identity shifts, and the realities of caring for young children.

This episode is a must-listen for occupational therapists who feel called to create work that aligns with their values, lifestyle, and lived experience.
