On this week’s episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara ask a question many in the profession will recognise instantly: how do you maintain a life outside of social work when the job seems to take everything you have? From dark evenings that once gave cover for doing nothing, to abandoned hobbies, emotional depletion, and friendships reduced to tired messages and unrealised plans, they unpack the slow way social work can erode the parts of you that exist beyond the role.
Honest, funny and painfully relatable, this episode explores what happens when you bring your sharpest self to work and your emptiest self home, and why building a life beyond the job is not a luxury but part of surviving it. 
Created by social workers, for social workers. Join the conversation every Friday morning.
