June 15, 2020 How to know it’s time for some serious Self Care
In this episode, I talk all about Self care with Tabitha L. Younger, LMSW; why we don’t actually do self care, what it can be, and why we need it like we need our JOB!
This is especially important during high stress times like this; we are working full time because of course we are ESSENTIAL, there’s so much advocating needed for justice, oh, and there’s still a pandemic going on!
Even one of these happening at once makes us need some serious relaxing time, but 3 at once?!?
😱 Crazy.
Everyone needs to hear this, especially as a social worker already helping so many other people. We need to make ourselves a priority too.
Tabitha has made it her life mission to help social workers and therapists; Services Offered with Empowering Experiences are Self-Care Coaching and Traditional Life Coaching. Specifically geared towards supporting those who are Social Workers and Professional Counselors.

June 08, 2020 Where do we go from here?
This week I speak with Dr. Angela Henderson about where we go from here as a society and as social workers.
She shares her story of how she got started in social work from High School to her work now on a macro level with social justice.
We talk about our next steps as a culture and profession to address the ongoing institutional racism and prejudice in America including our own self-evaluation, how we address the power imbalances within systems, and how we can create alliances with groups to have greater impact. She reveals the benefits to doing a personal “tune-up” every month and her personal process for this.

“Take ownership. Take extreme ownership. Don't make excuses. Don't blame any other person or any other thing. Get control of your ego. Don't hide your delicate pride from the truth. Take ownership of everything in your world, the good and the bad. Take ownership of your mistakes. Take ownership of your shortfalls. Take ownership of your problems. And then take ownership of your solutions that will get those problems solved. Take ownership of your mission. Take ownership of your job, of your team, of your future, and take ownership of your life. And lead."⁣

As a social worker I always had an extra big passion for macro work. I have always dreamt of serving large amounts of people and giving back more than one at a time with my own organization. I didn’t know how what where or who I just knew that was my dream! It was what lit me up, got me excited and passionate! But I let these stories in my head and from other people get in my head and stop me from doing anything or even trying.
My dream started to become reality when I learned these 3 things within myself and I know they are true for you too.
You and I are just getting started!

This week I sat down with Lesly Rodriguez to explore about her very personal story of vicarious trauma.
How her work environment was traumatic, how she knew it was happening, and her journey to overcome it.
She shares exactly what it looks like, gives real stories of her work with people who have mental illness, and actionable things you can do now if this is also your experience and to help someone.
This is a must-know for every competent social worker. We must know how to identify vicarious trauma, work through it, and help others through this experience too.
