Have you ever wondered why February, the shortest month of the year, is the month we celebrate Black History Month? Well, research shows historical significance around why February is Black History Month. This month on The Passionate Stewardship Podcast, we are going to honor and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of our exceptional ancestors who paved the way for us to do the human services work we do today and speak to some 'Passionate Stewards' who are doing some life-changing work and representing their community and culture in remarkable ways.

This time of year is perfect for reflecting and setting goals and visions for ourselves for the upcoming year. Dr. Cherie is taking some time in this episode to reflect on the ups and downs of 2023, and to share her personal insights and vision casting for 2024. In particular, she's reflecting on and exploring the meaning of resilience (which just might be her next 'word of the year'). Resilience resonates particularly deeply with human services professionals and organizational leaders. Do you have a 'word of the year' you're thinking about for 2024?

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, today's episode is about different types of abuse and where they fall on the Power and Control Wheel. Domestic Violence can look like a lot of different things beyond physical abuse. In addition to physical abuse, Dr. Cherie is breaking down emotional abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse, technology-facilitated abuse, and more. These episodes are important, but also pretty heavy, so make sure to take care of yourself. After all, as we like to say around here, radical self-care is health care.
