Join me, Tammy Roche, for another Episode of Social Worker in Private Practice. I chat all things private practice: the biz and a bit of life. This week, I'm talking about something we don't always like to admit—craving validation. Whether it's praise, likes, or just feeling seen, we all crave it sometimes. I share why that's normal, where it comes from, and how we can start giving ourselves the validation we often look for from others.

Craving Validation

I'm Tammy Roche. I'm Métis, a Canadian who plays between Australia and Canada, and I am the social worker in private practice.

I am still a student but sometimes I like to share what has helped me. Maybe that will speak to you too. I speak from lived experience, from running a value based business, from my work with clients, and from my own body—because I've found that things start to shift when we slow down and tell the truth.

Some episodes are about running a values-based, sustainable private practice. Some are about grief, nervous system care, or walking away from old patterns. Some are just about being human—navigating the mess, the meaning, and everything in between.

I use words to simplify what can be sometimes complicated—and I do it with both feet on the ground. I don't pretend to have it all figured out, but I know what it means to stay, even when it's hard.

This podcast now has episodes from The Helpers Podcast 

If you're a social worker, a client, a helper, or someone simply trying to live with more truth and less noise—there's space for you here.

This season, I'm exploring what it really looks like when the personal and professional meet—in our practices, our bodies, and our everyday lives.

Let's walk it together. One grounded step at a time.
