The Passionate Stewardship with Dr. Cherie: A Podcast for Social Workers and Human Services Professionals

It's been an incredible 14 months of podcasting, and I am so proud of the work we have done here so far. In the spirit of taking my own advice, there are things in my own life that need more of my attention and to take a higher priority. Therefore, it's time to step back and take a break from the podcast. But rest assured, my friends, that I am definitely coming back. This episode is not a goodbye - it's see you soon. And in the meantime, please enjoy the content library we've built here of more than a year of content around radical self-care both personally and professionally.
