  • What About You?
    So often we give sooooo much of ourselves to our jobs, family, friends and relationships that there isn't much to give to ourselves. What about if you gave to yourself first? What about if you did things that only benefited you? How do you think you would feel? Maybe a little guilty. But could you also possibly feel refreshed, happier or have more energy? You are your longest relationship... you matter too!

  • Q4: Stop Holding Yourself Back
    Some of us are blocked from our greatness because of ourselves! Someone might have told us we couldn't have it, it didn't make sense or that it wasn't realistic and we believed them.

What does your future you look like? What do they do? What are they like?

About The Joi of Social Work

From the publisher's feed

The Joi of Social Work Podcast was born as a result of its creator Joi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the Bronx, now living in Atlanta, GA, being hit with tragedy in 2009, 2011 & 2017; with the deaths of her father, mother & boyfriend. Joi's friends encouraged her to tell her story through comedy as she uses humor as a coping mechanism. It wasn't until a friend presented her with a microphone & computer that podcasting became a thought.
