Hey. I'm Mia Poklopovich. I'm a mental health occupational therapist, yoga meditation teacher, and business owner. I'm the founder of The Freedom Therapist, a space for therapists to help you find yourself and your purpose in your business again, while you grow and scale a business of your actual dreams, which doesn't cost you your freedom or energy. I founded my remote outreach practice, OT Inspire Australia, several years ago to deliver much needed therapy services to some of the most remote parts of Australia in the Northern Territory. Not only was starting a business one of the most challenging things I have ever experienced, but there was also a lot of imposter syndrome, vicarious trauma, grief, isolation, and a whole heap of self doubt that I definitely wasn't ready for. I learned the hard way that you can create and scale a practice quickly and rather successfully, but I lost myself in the process, and no amount of money was ever worth that to me. And so I rebuilt it all the way from the beginning, the right way into the beautiful, meaningful, successful practice that it is today.

And now I support therapists and creative female business owners on their journey too. Through this podcast, I wanted to create a safe space for therapists and females who are navigating the wild world of business on a journey to not only find success and inspiration, but your creativity, your energy, and your freedom as well. There's gonna be your weekly dose of inspiration, deep chats, lots of laughter, and, of course, tears. Yep. We're gonna feel it all. And I hope this podcast helps you learn and unlearn all the things and lets you know that you're not alone in this process too. Because you can build your dream business, and you can do it your way with your magic too. I'll be in your ears every week on a Wednesday, sharing every single thing I have learned, growing and rebuilding my practice, working with therapists in business, and sharing the stories of some of the most incredible women who are willing to share their wisdom too.
