Social Work Sorted with Vicki Shevlin

Overworking, Somatics and Systemic Change with Tamu Thomas


Listen Later

In this incredible conversation I chat to Tamu Thomas, transformational life coach and former social worker, specialising in helping women achieve work-life harmony by aligning with their nervous system for holistic well-being. 


  • We talk about:
  • The systemic and structural oppression in social work 
  • How to navigate the workplace as a new social worker
  • The value of regulating your nervous system 


Tamu’s unique approach, rooted in somatic coaching and Polyvagal informed practice, empowers women to reconnect with their core selves, establish healthy boundaries, and build self-trust. Her work is particularly resonant in addressing the unique challenges faced by women of the global majority under what she describes as, "the trinity of oppression” - patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism.


In Tamu's words, "We don’t need more self improvement, we need systemic change”. Her insights are essential for anyone seeking fulfilment, meaningful connection and joy in today's fast-paced world.
