Episode 3: Nobody Prepares You to Lead

Everyone talks about the exciting parts of owning a business—but no one talks about the messy middle.

In this episode of Notes Due at Midnight, Casey shares the real story behind building a pediatric therapy practice in rural Maine, the incredible people who helped make it possible, and the leadership lessons she learned the hard way. From an employee introducing her to her husband, to dreaming about opening a clinic with a classmate in graduate school, to working alongside her brother, this episode is full of heartfelt stories, humor, and honest reflections.

If you've ever led a team, owned a business, or simply wondered if you're "doing it right," this episode is a reminder that there is no perfect way to lead; only the courage to lead authentically.

Grab your coffee, finish those notes, and join the conversation.

Episode 2: The Scenic Route

Did you know I changed my college major seven times? In this episode, I share the winding path that led me to occupational therapy, from art education and psychology to pharmacy, industrial design, and everything in between. We also dive into what occupational therapy really is, why it's about helping people live life to the fullest, and how sometimes the detours in life are actually preparing us for where we're meant to be.

Notes Due at Midnight is a podcast about showing up; even when life doesn't go according to plan. Join pediatric occupational therapist, business owner, speaker, and mom Casey Openshaw as she shares the real stories behind building a business, raising a child, navigating setbacks, chasing big dreams, and somehow still getting the notes done before midnight. Expect honest conversations, laughter, lessons learned the hard way, occupational therapy insights, and reminders that sometimes the scenic route leads to the best view. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, underestimated, or one step behind, this podcast is for you.
