If you’re a community or occupational therapist who feels mentally full, scattered, or constantly behind, this podcast is for you. The Cognitive Capacity Chat is where we break down cognitive load, executive function, and functional cognition in a way that actually makes sense in real clinical work. Because this is the reality: most therapists don’t have a time problem. They have a cognitive load problem. And underneath all of it, cognition underpins everything. How you plan your day. How you make decisions. How you communicate. How you manage your caseload. How you show up for your clients. In your day-to-day work, you are constantly holding and processing information, switching between tasks, regulating yourself, and making complex decisions. But no one teaches you how to manage that. This podcast will. Inside each episode, you’ll learn how to: Understand cognitive load and how it shows up in your

You hired an admin assistant to take work off your plate, and somehow you are doing twice the work just handing things over. The service agreement comes back not quite right, so you fix it yourself, because that is faste
Money used to be a big deal for me. Not because there was never enough of it, but because I was holding all of it in my head. How much was set aside for tax. What the operating expenses came to. Whether there was enough
The first thing most overloaded therapists cut is their training. It looks like the responsible trade, one more hour at the desk instead of an hour moving your body, and the maths seems to add up. In this episode I make
The therapists who get real outcomes for their clients are not the ones with the longest list of recommendations. They are the ones who take the next step and make the recommendation functional for the person who has to
In this episode, I am talking about head noise. Systems and apps are the tangible side of cognitive load, but negative self-talk is the load nobody audits. Those repeating thoughts are cars on your highway, and they are
Every therapist I know — OT, speechy, physio, dietitian — knows how to prescribe from a lens that's functional, practical, actionable, digestible. And I very much doubt you'd make recommendations without the assessment p
Most community therapists know they are overloaded. What they cannot see is why, or where it is actually coming from. In this episode, Imogen breaks down the three gaps sitting underneath almost every sign of cognitive o
While clearing out drawers for a renovation, I found an old journal entry from 2021, written back when I was still a clinician describing compassion fatigue and a caseload with no room left for me. I thought the answer w
Children are finally in bed. You land on the couch, pick up your phone, and start scrolling to avoid how tired you feel. You tell yourself this is rest. The truth is you have not rested at all. You are just adding more c
If you have ever felt completely maxed out but couldn't quite explain why, this episode is for you. In Episode 10, Imogen introduces the Traffic Jam Analogy — a framework she developed through clinical work with a client
You're waiting for the renovation to finish. For referrals to ease up. For a week that finally feels calm enough to sit down and sort it all out. Sound familiar? In this episode, Imogen names the waiting trap for what it
If you're a clinic owner sitting on the fence about NDIS registration, this episode is going to reframe the whole thing for you. Getting registered isn't a compliance exercise — it's a systems assessment. And as OTs, sys
Tell me one physical movement you do that you do not have to think through. There is not one. Every occupation you assess in a client, and every occupation you engage in yourself, runs on cognition and yet most occupatio
You walked out of uni expected to just know how to manage a complex caseload, regulate after a tricky client, and write the case note before you've finished the drive home. No one taught you that. And no one's named that
If you’ve ever sat there and questioned if you’re actually a “good mum”… this is for you. In this episode, I talk about: This isn’t about doing more. It’s about reducing what your brain is responsible for. what I’m actua
In this episode, we're looking at collaboration through a functional cognition lens and making the case that effective communication isn't just about what you're transmitting. It's about the cognitive state of the person
AI is creeping into therapy work in a way that feels helpful and risky at the same time. I’m talking about what happens when we start using AI to write our reports, our notes, and even our thinking, especially when we’re
You were trained to be an excellent clinician. You were not trained to manage the mental load of actually being one. In this episode, Imogen unpacks why systems and processes aren't just admin, they're cognitive load too
If you’re a community or occupational therapist who finishes the day feeling heavy, scattered, or constantly behind, this episode will make sense of why. In this episode of The Cognitive Capacity Chat, I dive into cognit
