I wish there was more of this podcast my favorite part is hearing about what we don’t learn in academics!

I listen to many OT podcasts and this is my favorite one! The information that is put out is amazing! The host asks great questions to the interviewee. Such a great resource! Thank you! -from an OT student

I absolutely love this podcast. I appreciate the transparency of your guests. As we are a strength based profession, I feel like some of our negative experiences as practitioners are not spoken of. I’m a 2nd your MOT student and your podcast has inspired me to look beyond ‘typical’ practice settings! Also love that it’s well rounded and touches on so many topics!!! and love that you provide practitioners with a safe space to open up about their experience unfiltered. thank you for spilling the OT 👏🏻 keep it up!!

I love listening to this podcast during my morning walks. I have loved the OT field for years and I am always interesting in learning more about this field and learn about it what others are doing. This podcast is fun, light hearted, and very interesting. Please keep posting more episodes! ♥️ Thank you for being great advocate for the OT profession!

Hey!! I just wanted to thank you so much for doing this podcast! I am currently in the application process for occupational therapy programs and value the knowledge you share through this platform. I was wondering if you could do an episode about OT programs and the process that student have to go through to make you best prepared for them. I know this was one of the first platforms I looked at when starting my journey and I think it would be a great resource for others thinking about OT as a career!

Can you talk about or bring someone on to talk about what it is like to be male in a field dominated by women and is it the wrong career choice for me? Sometimes I feel out of place and judged. I’m currently an OTAS and applying to OT school.

I love the honesty of this podcast! OT was one of the careers I considered in college several years ago and I enjoy listening to this insider’s view.

This podcast help me get ready for my OT grad school interview. I love the variety of topics discussed. It shows me how much I can do with this field once I graduate. I also love that they keep it real on here— the good and bad are discussed. It’s been so helpful to hear about the pay OTs are making across the nation. It’s a huge cost commitment to go to school and I need to know the reality of what my income may be after school.

I’m a third year OT student unsure what direction exactly I want to go into and love hearing all different perspectives! Thank you so much!

I LOVE this podcast. As a level II fieldwork student, this has been so insightful! I love listening on my commute. It brightens my day and I feel that it’s preparing me for what to expect when I venture out and apply for jobs! Thank you for creating this and your positive light😊

This podcast provides such a great insight into OT!! So helpful for anyone thinking about OT school!

This podcast has gotten me through the craziness of the pandemic these past few months. Even though my OT student role took a turn as soon as I was preparing to go to the national conference, I’ve been able to throw this podcast on during my down time and remember how lucky I am to have chosen this profession. Now I’m preparing to go to my first Level 2 in a few weeks and I couldn’t thank you enough for proving easily available insight and information!(:

I love love love this podcast! It’s very informative to see what I have to look forward to in this profession. Also the different practitioners that are interviewed very inspiring and the host asks great questions. I’ve recommended this to my class!

Absolutely love listening to this podcast. I have learned something new with each episode I hear every week. I also really enjoy watching your tic toks- so creative! I’d love to hear more about different capstone projects and level ll fieldwork options available in a pandemic.

I just listened to the episode with Andrea LeFlore! I loooooved this episode! Andrea is so incredibly knowledgable and I had no idea this area of work was even a possibility in OT. Thanks so much for having her on. I have so many favorite interviews it’s hard to choose, but this one was particularly special right now.

I have been following this podcast since the beginning and have always loved the diverse conversation! There is so much about OT to share 💕

I love listening to this podcast as an undergrad student getting ready to apply to OT school. It helps me view the field from a different perspective and provides helpful insight. I look forward to every new episode!

As an OT student I love the content and find it very valuable! Definitely worth the listen (subscribe already). Listening to this podcast has helped me feel connected to my future profession even during these crazy pandemic times.

This podcast is so helpful for students!!! It helps me to learn more personal info about areas I am interested in!

I usually listen on Spotify, but I love spill the OT!

As a COTA student I am always looking for OT resources to listen to on my drive to school. I learn something new everyday I listen to your podcast. I love your energy, communication style and resources you share. Thank you for taking your time to share and educate the community in our profession!

Just finished listening to my first episode (Outpatient Peds and EI with Jennie). I graduated from OT school in 2012 and it’s like she was reading my mind. I was literally in tears by the end because I felt so validated in all that I have been feeling! Thank you so much!

As a new-ish OT (2 years out of school) there are limited resources about our profession. I love that you cover such a wide variety of topics. Please keep it up and know that you have love and support out here in the community.

Hi, I am a senior in high school and your podcast has helped me learn more about occupational therapy! I will be shadowing at a pediatric outpatient rehab next semester and your podcast is helping me learn more about OT. Thank you for being honest and keeping things real with the positives and negatives of OT!

I enjoy listening to this podcast during my work days! I’ve been working in pediatrics since I graduated in 2016 and recently went from the outpatient setting to home health. Though not all topics apply to my area of practice - I love hearing about experiences and tips/tricks that I could carry into my own treatment planning. Hopefully more episodes keep coming out. I’m very appreciative of the time and effort it takes to make this happen!

I love this podcast! I am a level 2 clinical student and the topics/stories/information given on this podcast have been helpful to me not only in my clinical, but in preparing me for life as an OT. Great for students, not just working therapists :)

Recently discovered your podcast and I love it! I’m currently in the application process for OT school and it’s really nice to hear about all aspects of OT. It’s not just all rainbows and butterflies like it’s sometimes made out it be and I think as a student it will be extremely helpful to know realistically what to expect after graduation!! Looking forward to more episodes!

As a first year OT, I have loved the opportunity to learn and hear more about other settings.

I am so happy to have found this podcast and hope that it continues ♥️ I'm incredibly unhappy in my current career and thinking about going into OT, so this podcast has been so helpful in understanding the field and requirements as well as useful advice, etc. Thank you so much for making this podcast and for the honesty ♥️ I'm excited to continue to listen!

I learned more from these podcasts than I had from shadowing/volunteering in 3 different OT settings. The perspective of each episode is realistic and gives students a good idea of what they’re getting into. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone pursuing the field. I’ve recommended this to all of the members of my OT club at my college because it provides helpful information. I just wished there were more guests from the west coast since I’m planning to practice in California.

So glad I found this podcast. I’m returning to the PT field as a PTA after many years and I love hearing from different therapists in diff settings.

Thanks for sharing this podcast! It’s super helpful, informative and gives an interesting view into variety of settings and populations!

Very informative!

I love this podcast. It’s validating to my personal thoughts about salary, school debt and high standards/unethical behavior at work for productivity. I find people are too afraid to talk about how much they make. As a new grad I didn’t know how much to ask for or accept. Its also nice hearing people are in as much school debt as I am. I recommend telling listeners to use https://otsalary.com. It’s anonymous the more input the more it can help others.

Really helpful! Thank you so much - love the accurate salary information. I always thought the average salaries listed online seemed higher than the salaries of anyone I ever knew and I was glad to hear other OTs agreed

I’ve been listening to this podcast over the last couple of weeks and it has really helped me to prepare for entrance into a doctoral occupational therapy program beginning in a few weeks. Things discussed on this podcast aren’t easy topics to ask those already in the profession unless you know them really well, and it gives you a true insight into what being an occupational therapist is behind the scenes. It’s incredibly helpful! I’ve already learned so much and have a better understanding of what to expect in the field. Forever grateful to you for creating this amazing podcast!

The sound quality of this podcast and this episode especially are poor. The actual podcast is very difficult to hear so you have to crank the volume. Of course when the ad comes on it is absolutely blaring.

I’m a grad student in the OT program about to head off to level 2 fieldwork. I love listening to your podcast. I love that you keep it real because sometimes I feel like in school everything about the profession is rainbows and butterflies and we don’t get to learn about some of the real life things. It’s awesome getting to hear from therapists in different settings. It helps me get a better idea of what direction I wanna go after graduation (since I really have no clue! 😂😬) Keep doing you! 😊

As someone on the fence about going to PT or OT school this podcast has been extremely informative. I love the fact they it’s not all roses and sunshine. Learning about productivity standards, burnout and realistic salary expectations is so essential in order to make an informed decision. I also love how you explore all of the different settings available. Hearing the perspective of all of your speakers has been invaluable. Thank you so much for creating this podcast and continuing to push out honest & valuable content.

I am so glad I found this podcast! As a newly admitted OT student, this podcast has really been informative and has made me even more excited about becoming an OT. Every episode is unique and covers a different aspect of occupational therapy and what it has to offer. I always look forward to listening to and from work! I learn something new every time 😊 Big fan right here!

I am loving this podcast! I have been an OT for almost ten years and have lots of passions. It’s so great to hear what others are doing and think about how this can relate to what I am doing. Thank you for the honest conversations about our field. It’s important for all of us to hear this!

I really appreciate the honesty in this podcast. I’ve been an OT for 4 years and have worked in many settings. I love my current setting but I could never work OT full time (I’m part time). I’d burn out instantly! This podcast doesn’t sugarcoat anything but also interviews some really wonderful OTs.

I’m a new grad OT and I love this podcast! I have told all my new grad friends to take a listen as well. The honesty is refreshing and I find it to comforting and interesting to hear perspectives from other practitioners! All of the guests have interesting career stories and I love the questions that are asked! Thanks so much for creating this!

I absolutely love this podcast! I will be graduating in May this year with my masters degree in OT, what tips do you have for deciding which setting to go into? I am struggling with deciding which setting I would like to work in once I graduate because I have enjoyed all of my fieldwork experiences and can't seem to pick just one. Thank you for sharing this podcast, it has helped me so much!

Just started the podcast and really enjoyed the perspective. I’m finishing school for OT soon and trying to figure out next steps! Really cool to hear about the different career paths to make a more informed decision. Traveling OT might be the first big step! 🤞🏻🚘💁🏻‍♀️

Working at a big hospital in the city, *Spill the OT* explains the inner workings of the OT world from start to finish :) An awesome resource for those thinking about entering the OT field or currently an OT student in the process of earning his/her degree! The Host utilizes humor & facts to address all types of OT questions & different topics! I love the wide array of guests with different backgrounds & perspectives :) It’s so nice to hear other people’s experiences! This podcast is also GREAT for those currently in the profession & keepin’ it real when it comes to all things OT :) I HIGHLY recommend listening & hope you LOVE this podcast as much as I do: the perfect addition to your daily commute!

As an OT and now DOR, I appreciate the honesty in the podcast.

I am a hopeful OT student in the application/interviewing process of getting into a grad school program for OT and have loved hearing insight from OT professionals on their experiences. Looking forward to future episodes!

I’m a OT student in Sflorida and left teaching to go back to school as a mom and wife. The first episode is very negative . Every profession has ups and downs. If you aren’t loving what you do change it, people can tell if you aren’t happy. I want to hear more about people’s work experiences and future possibilities and uncovering things we haven’t seen

I love this! I love hearing about the salaries and student loans, sometimes I just don’t know if I hide the right career so this is refreshing to hear
