ABOUT

The Trialogue

three voices, one deeply meaningful conversation

We started Spirited Conversations in 2020 to grow the collective knowledge of paediatric OTs, ourselves included.

Most of us came to this work because we love children and believe in the possibility of childhood, and then found ourselves a little overwhelmed by how much there is to know to be truly effective. This podcast is our way of thinking out loud together, not with all the answers, but with the space and support to put the pieces together. Tracy's gift for making clinical reasoning and neuroscience accessible is at the heart of it, and worth sharing widely.
