192 – The Blessing of Not Fitting In ft Mallory Reilly
Monday, 8 June, 2026

In this episode of Occupied, Brock sits down with Mallory Reilly, an occupational therapist who never quite felt like she fit the traditional OT mould. Rather than forcing herself into a version of practice that didn’t feel right, Mallory forged her own path — blending her OT knowledge, clinical reasoning, and passion for physical training into a practice that feels authentic, meaningful, and impactful. This conversation explores what it feels like to not quite belong in the expected professional boxes, the courage it takes to build something different, and how occupational therapists can use their unique interests and strengths to shape practice in ways that truly fit. We explore the breakdown of the profession from an occupational science perspective to see if we can find why many people experience this misalignment.
