I legit can’t believe that it is November already. Where has the time gone?
I recently recorded with the fabulous women from the Occupation Station podcast, along with my podcasting buddies Brock Cook from Occupied and Laura Park Figueroa from Mind Your OT Business and it will be released at the Texas Occupational Therapy Association conference on November 14, 2020 at 1:00pm CST.
