Meet Liz
I’m Liz Evans, an award-winning, dyslexic occupational therapist, speaker and podcast host behind The Untypical OT. Her work centres around burnout protection through a neuroaffirming, trauma-aware and sensory-responsive lens, supporting parents, professionals, solopreneurs and event organisers to find more sustainable ways of living and working.
Both professionally and through lived experience as a mum in an additional needs family, she's seen how burnout often grows when people are constantly adapting to environments that weren’t designed with them in mind. Occupational therapy helps us understand what’s really driving exhaustion and overwhelm, and make practical changes that support real rest, recovery and ease, not just more coping.
