    190 – Born to be a Pediatric OT ft. Greg Santucci
    Mar 30 2026
    Greg Santucci is an internationally recognised paediatric occupational therapist with over 26 years experience. He is a clinical leader, educator and creator of the Model of Child Engagement, known for making complex neurodevelopmental concepts practical and usable. We sat down and chatted about where it all started and the keys to the development of the Model of Child Engagement. Paediatrics is not my area of practice so I was incredibly keen to learn more and see just how different it could be from other practice areas.

  • 189 – From PhD to Practice: Evidence, Occupation & Knowledge Translation

    189 – From PhD to Practice: Evidence, Occupation & Knowledge Translation
    Mar 20 2026
    In this solo episode of Occupied, Dr Jessica Levick reflects on her PhD journey and explores what evidence-based practice really means for occupational therapists. Why does it take an average of 17 years for research to reach routine clinical practice? Why does strong evidence alone fail to change systems? And what responsibility do clinicians hold in translating knowledge into real-world care? Drawing from her experience as a mental health occupational therapist and researcher, Jessica discusses: The identity shift from clinician to researcher The realities of academic publishing What evidence-based practice actually involves (beyond “just using research”) Why she chose to undertake a PhD The gap between research and implementation This episode challenges the idea that research belongs only in academia. Instead, it reframes evidence-based practice as an ethical responsibility shared by all clinicians. You don’t need a PhD to be evidence-informed — but you do need curiosity. If you’ve ever questioned whether what we say about occupation aligns with what we fund, measure, or prioritise in health systems, this episode is for you.

  • 188 – The Nitty-Gritty about Burnout

    188 – The Nitty-Gritty about Burnout
    Mar 2 2026
    Burnout gets talked about a lot — but rarely with clarity. In this episode, Brock and Jess unpack the biology of burnout and challenge the flood of non-evidence-based ideas circulating online. If you’ve ever been told burnout is “just stress,” “just poor boundaries,” or something you can fix with a weekend off… this conversation is for you. We explore what’s actually happening in the nervous system when burnout sets in — including: The role of the amygdala and chronic threat activation What happens to the prefrontal cortex under prolonged stress How the stress response shifts from adaptive to maladaptive The Default Mode Network and why cognitive flexibility drops Why productivity, empathy, and executive functioning decline The overlap (and differences) between burnout and trauma One of the biggest problems with burnout is that people experiencing it often don’t understand what’s happening to them — which can lead to shame, self-blame, and pushing harder when the body is actually signalling overload. This episode reframes burnout as a biological state shift, not a personal weakness. For occupational therapists — and anyone working in high-demand caring roles — understanding the mechanisms behind burnout changes how we respond to it in ourselves, our colleagues, and our clients. Because you can’t intervene effectively in something you don’t understand.
