In this episode of The Systemic Way, we are joined by Dr Mairi Evans, Systemic Therapist, Social Worker and Clinical Director in the NHS, to explore autism, neurodivergence and the stories that shape how people are understood within families, services and wider society.Drawing on her doctoral research with mothers of autistic girls, Mairi explores the “aha moments” that can emerge through the diagnostic journey, and what changes once a diagnosis is given. We discuss the history and social construction of autism, the limitations of stereotypical and gendered understandings, and the difference between observed autism and the lived experience of being autistic.Mairi introduces the idea of “Oughtism” to explore the pressures placed on autistic people and their families to behave in particular ways. Through examples from family life, she considers how dominant ideas about what families “should” look like can create additional pressures, and how systemic therapists can help families develop their own ways of being together.The conversation also explores the relationship between autism and ADHD, the limitations of linear ideas of the spectrum, the double bind created by diagnosis and service systems, and the importance of holding both neurodivergence and the wider family context in mind.Throughout, Mairi brings together social constructionism, CMM and systemic thinking with a strong focus on lived experience. She argues for a shift away from seeing neurodivergence as specialist territory and towards making neuroinclusion “everybody's business”.We also consider what this might mean for systemic family therapy, including how curiosity, neuro-informed not-knowing, hypothesising and attention to family relationships can become part of everyday practice.A conversation about diagnosis, language, family life, service design and the possibilities for a more neuroinclusive systemic practice.Dr Mairi Evans is a Systemic Therapist and Social Worker with experience of working in social care, child and adolescent mental health, adult mental health, neurodevelopmental services and senior management in the NHS.  Mairi has a professional doctorate in systemic practice, in which she focused on the diagnostic experience of autism for the mothers of autistic girls. Taking a social constructionist perspective and adopting the Co-ordinated Management of Meaning as a lens Mairi has explored the balance and relationship between co-constructed narratives (stories told) and lived experience (stories lived) for autistic people, their families and helping professionals. She has worked to connect theory to practice across health and social care organisations in order to promote connections, improve services and to reduce barriers to healthcare for autistic people and their families.  As a Clinical Director in the NHS, Mairi has an interest in stories for change in wider NHS systems and the relationship between research narratives, commissioning decision makers, service providers and the individuals that seek support.Publications:Oughtism and Oughtistic Narratives in the Lives of Autistic People and their Families (gvsu.edu)Autism and Systemic Practice – Autism and Intersectionality: Implications for Systemic and Relational Psychotherapeutic Practice and Research (systemicautism.com)How do Mothers of Autistic Girls Perceive and Experience the Potential Affordances and Constraints of Diagnosis for their Daughters?

Ready to learn more about macro social work careers? Grab my free e-course at: ⁠⁠https://macroandpaid.com/⁠⁠---If you're a social worker who keeps noticing the bigger systems-level issues behind what your clients and communities are experiencing, there may be a reason case management has never felt like the full extent of the work you're supposed to be doing.That was my experience.Long before I knew to call it macro social work, I was sitting in case management jobs questioning why the same people kept cycling through the same programs, why policies were being implemented differently across communities, and why so many of the problems I was expected to address individually were actually connected to much larger systems-level issues.Eventually, I realized I didn't want to spend my career only responding to what happened after decisions were made. I wanted to get closer to the places where programs were designed, resources were allocated, systems were evaluated, and decisions affecting entire communities were being made.In this podcast episode, I'm sharing my career journey from case management into macro social work, how I landed my first macro social work job after earning my MSW, and why I eventually became The MSW Coach™.If you've been questioning whether you're supposed to be doing something different with your social work career, especially work that allows you to address issues beyond the individual level, you'll probably recognize parts of yourself in my story.Happy macro career planning,Marthea Pitts, MSW#MacroSocialWork #SocialWorkCareers #MacroSocialWorkJobs #MSWCareers #SocialWorkCareer #SocialWorker #MSW #CareerDevelopment

The UK is a nation of animal lovers, demonstrated by the growing popularity of pet ownership. People form strong attachments with their pets, making them an integral part of our homes, families, wellbeing and lives.As a result, Veterinary Social Work is fast becoming a valued and recognised specialism across the world. Its purpose is to attend to the emotional, social, and psychological needs of pet owners and veterinary teams.This episode of Let's Talk Social Work delves into the model in detail, exploring how it should work in daily practice, the interplay between Social Workers and Vets, the expectations on both professions, and the challenges it throws up. The conversation also considers how Social Work professionals can embed greater consideration of pets in their assessments and when building relationships with people.Host Jonny Adamson is joined by the UK's first Veterinary Social Worker, Rebecca Stephens, and dual Qualified Social Worker and Vet Surgeon, Yasmin Amer. They discuss the link between abuse of animals and people, animals as a strategy of coercive control, pet poverty and loss, and whether Veterinary Social Work can become a thriving specialism in the UK similar to other countries.Our thanks to James Ede at BeHeard Productions for producing the episode.

Most moms I talk to are running on empty and still showing up for everyone else first. But what if feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and responsible for everyone isn't actually the price of being a good mom? In this episode of Successful with ADHD, I'm joined by Heather Chauvin, leadership coach, TEDx speaker, host of Emotionally Uncomfortable, and author of Dying to Be a Good Mother. After being diagnosed with stage four cancer at 28 while raising three boys, Heather was forced to rethink how she was living, parenting, and using her energy.Heather and I get into ADHD, motherhood, burnout, emotional regulation, boundaries, executive functioning, and the invisible mental load so many women carry. We talk about what happens when you stop being everyone else's executive function, why letting your kids struggle can actually help them build independence, and how operating from the energy you want to feel can change your relationships. I also share a deeply personal part of my own story and what happened when I finally started stepping back. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything and somehow still failing, press play on this one.Episode Highlights[0:45] - Meet Heather Chauvin and hear how a stage four cancer diagnosis changed the way she approached motherhood and life.[2:19] - Heather shares the internal shift that made her decide she was no longer willing to feel depleted.[4:10] - Facing fear, survival mode, motherhood, business, and cancer all at the same time.[6:39] - The difference between simply coping and asking yourself how you actually want to live.[8:29] - Why getting another planner or writing another to-do list won't fix an identity built around doing everything for everyone.[12:20] - Looking beyond ADHD and other labels to recognize our basic human needs for regulation, nourishment, movement, and connection.[17:02] - Heather breaks down Energetic Time Management and her powerful “Wouldn't it be nice if…” practice.[21:11] - Holding boundaries with ADHD kids without rescuing, controlling, or falling into a guilt spiral.[23:04] - Why emotional discomfort can feel horrible at first—and why yelling can actually be a stress response.[28:21] - I open up about nearly getting divorced, carrying the executive functioning of my household, and what changed when I finally stepped back.[30:45] - The fine line between helping, rescuing, codependence, and interdependence.[34:54] - Getting the mental load out of your brain and allowing other people to take responsibility—even when they do things differently.[36:22] - ADHD executive functioning, independence, and why letting our kids fail can be an important part of helping them grow.[37:17] - Moving through shame, regulating your nervous system, and creating the accountability your brain actually needs.[41:12] - Collaborative problem-solving: asking kids what their brains need instead of assuming we have all the answers.[43:08] - Why Heather believes the more responsibility you have, the lighter you should feel.[47:49] - Delaying difficult conversations, using ADHD-friendly communication strategies, and knowing when it's better to text, write, or walk.[50:02] - Heather leaves overwhelmed moms with one belief she wants them to stop carrying.Links and ResourcesHeather Chauvin is a leadership advisor for high-performing women raising children and building lives that demand more than conventional time management can hold.Her work sits at an unusual intersection: Trained as a Social Worker, she spent the early part of her career inside the systems most of her clients are now navigating from the other side (schools, mental health services, family courts, the quiet machinery that shapes how children, especially neurodiverse children, are seen and supported). That lens still informs everything. She knows what's happening underneath the surface of a family, a marriage, a woman holding it all together.What she layers on top is lived. A stage 4 cancer diagnosis at 28, while raising three young sons and building a career. A TEDx stage. A book — Dying to Be a Good Mother. A podcast with more than 11 million downloads. Years of working privately with executives, founders, and mothers who look successful on paper and feel quietly depleted underneath.Her clients describe her as the advisor in their back pocket, someone who can hold the strategic conversation and the spiritual one in the same breath. The cash flow plan and the question of what makes you feel alive. The team restructure and the marriage or health diagnosis. The next career move and the child who needs you to show up differently than you were taught to.The throughline is this: The more responsibility you carry, the lighter you should feel. Heather has spent 15+ years proving it's possible — for herself, and for the women she works with privately.https://www.instagram.com/heatherchauvin_/Thank you for tuning into "SuccessFULL with ADHD."

Annya Fitz burned out from overproducing and putting everyone else first.A former social worker, she realized the fulfillment she was chasing was never going to come from other people's approval. It comes from honoring your own values.Now she helps women break the people-pleasing pattern, set healthy boundaries, and live as their authentic selves.On this episode we talk about how childhood shapes the beliefs that keep us saying yes, why so many women struggle with no, and practical steps to drop the guilt and build stronger relationships in the process.If you're the one who always shows up for everyone and you're running on empty, this one is for you.

Ohio's Incarcerated Youth Ohio's juvenile justice system is supposed to be a safe place to reform troubled youth, so they can enter the world of adulthood as productive citizens. But years of reporting and firsthand accounts from both staff and former incarcerated youth find that the system is broken. Instead, there is violence against other youth and staff, understaffing, and neglect. And sometimes, formerly incarcerated youth credit their time in juvenile prison as a big reason why they are locked up as an adult. A 2023 study that followed formerly incarcerated kids in Ohio found they are six times more likely to die violent deaths in the seven years after their release than kids who hadn't been locked up. C.P. Handler is a social worker and youth advocate who worked for years in Ohio's state and county juvenile detention centers. She has written about her experiences in a new book called, "The Light Within the Walls," and she joins us for Monday's "Sound of Ideas," hosted by Drew Maziasz, in for Stephanie Haney. Tuesday night there is a book launch and panel discussion happening at JFX in University Heights, which stands for Jewish Family Experience, featuring people who have touched the juvenile justice system. We've also invited some of those panelists to join in this conversation. We reached out to the Ohio Department of Youth Services to comment on some of the claims from the book. After the taping of this show, we did receive the following statement: At this time, we have not read the book and cannot speak directly to its content. However, we take all incidents related to contraband and assault very seriously at our agency. With it being over a decade since this employee has been with DYS, many things have changed, including different leadership at the Cuyahoga Hills facility.    Even this past year, we've had historic accomplishments, including one of the largest graduating classes at Cuyahoga Hills' Luther E. Ball High School for academic year 2025-2026. DYS had the highest number of diploma graduates ever and record-highs for the number of industry credentials and skill certificates earned by students for academic year 2025-2026.   Additionally, Cuyahoga Hills hosts reentry resource fairs for youth, where staff coordinate with dozens of organizations to come to the facility to meet youth for networking, resources, and job opportunities to support them upon their release back into Ohio's communities. Guests: - C.P. Handler, Social Worker, Youth Advocate & Author, "The Light Within The Walls" - Mike-Mike, formerly incarcerated person - Ben Wenger, Social Worker, Therapist & Owner, Wenger Counseling in Woodmere & Beachwood Cleveland VOTES Documentary This November marks a pivotal election for Ohio, as it decides on a new governor, U.S. Senator, and many other important races, yet for the over one million Ohioans with disabilities, navigating the poll booth can be a discouraging experience. Inaccessible polling tables for wheelchair users, a lack of American Sign Language translators for deaf voters, and minimal information for voters with disabilities make the voting process more difficult than it needs to be, according to a new documentary from the nonpartisan organization, Cleveland VOTES, called "Voting in the Land: Accessibility and the Ballot." The short is part of a larger documentary series highlighting the experiences of voters in Cleveland. It is being featured at the 2026 Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival on Saturday night, as part of their "Stories of Resistance" program. LEAP will host its fifth annual March for Access on Saturday starting at Market Square Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. If you want to learn more about becoming an accessible voting advocate, you can check out the Cleveland VOTES' toolkit.

Tara Wells On Who You Are When The Sport Is GoneLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results. Please visit my website to get more information: http://diversifiedgame.com/Today on Diversified Game, Kellen sits down with Tara Wells, LCSW, founder of Finish Line Mindset, a sports social work practice built to protect the mental health of athletes at every level. Tara breaks down why the money in professional sports is rarely what it looks like from the outside, why she walked away from insurance entirely because of clawbacks, and why the real work with her clients starts with one question, who are you without the sport. She also gets into the minority stress model, the BIPOC athlete experience, and why her University of Michigan sports social work certificate changed how she sees the field. If you are studying social work, working with athletes, or just tired of hearing that mental health work does not pay, this one is for you.Connect with Tara Wells and Finish Line Mindset:Website: https://www.finishlinemindset.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/finishlinemindset/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarawellslcsw/Also searched as: Tara Wells sports social work interview, Tara Wells athlete mental health, Tara Wells insurance clawbacks, Tara Wells Finish Line Mindset podcast

Why You Should Always Stay Prepared In Your CareerIt's a common misconception that you only look for a job when you need one.But that's probably the worst time to figure it out.Because if your job ended tomorrow, whether you decided to leave or the decision was made for you, would you know what types of jobs you could get with the experience you have right now?Would you know which employers would hire you?Would you know if your resume is competitive enough to get you an interview?And when was the last time you actually interviewed for a job to see if you could get an offer?These are things you should know even when everything at your job is going “good,” and you have absolutely no plans to leave.Because staying prepared in your career isn't always about looking for your next job.It's about knowing that if something changes, you already know what to do next.If you want to learn the process to identify, apply, and interview for the macro social work jobs you want, Cohort 23 registration for the Micro to Macro Career Accelerator™ for Social Workers opens September 27, 2026.Click the link and visit macroandpaid.com to schedule a free “Get to Know You Chat” to see if the Micro To Macro Career Accelerator is a good fit for you.Happy macro career planning,Marthea Pitts, MSW

Join Sandra as she speaks with internationally trained Psychic Medium and author Barbara Quinton about developing your own intuition, undeniable evidence from the Spirit World, and why grief needs to be witnessed. Barbara Quinton brings a unique and deeply compassionate perspective to mediumship. After spending over 20 years as a social worker and therapist supporting high-trauma individuals, she transitioned into professional mediumship, combining her deep understanding of human grief with her international training at the Arthur Findlay College. Today, she empowers others to trust their inner knowing and experience the profound love waiting on the other side. In this episode, we dive into: * Witnessing Grief: How her background as a therapist helps her hold space for the grieving, and why acknowledging pain is essential for true healing.  * Undeniable Evidence: Barbara shares shocking validations from the other side—including a highly specific visual of hospital tubes—that prove our loved ones remain closely connected to us.  * The Intuitive Arts: Insights from her brand-new book, and why she firmly believes that every single person has the capacity to be psychic and connect with spirit.  * Playful Mediumship: How Barbara playfully asks spirit to use TV characters and specific colors to identify themselves and bring their true personalities through during a reading.  Connect with Barbara Quinton: * Website: http://barbaraquinton.com * Book: The Intuitive Arts: A Guide to Psychic & Mediumship Development - https://amzn.to/4xwBB8G CONNECT WITH SANDRA CHAMPLAIN:  Don't miss my "Shades of the Afterlife' Podcast with the BEST of all topics about the afterlife: https://omny.fm/shows/shades-of-the-afterlife * Website (Free book by joining the 'Insiders Club, Free empowering Sunday Gatherings with medium demonstration, Mediumship Classes & more): http://wedontdie.com *Patreon (Early access, PDF of over 850 episodes & more visit https://www.patreon.com/wedontdieradio Thank you for listening!!!

 I left local authority social work four years ago, not because I was burnt out, but because I couldn't keep building my training work alongside it. In this episode I push back on the glamorisation of independent social work and talk through five things I genuinely miss about being employed: team, learning, practice skills, benefits, and progression. If you lead a team or a service, this is also a good listen for understanding what actually keeps social workers engaged and staying. Sponsored by Collaborate HR Consultancy. https://collaboratehr.co.uk/Lets connect!To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, courses or membership email vicki@socialworksorted.com Sign up to my free newsletter Listen to Social Work Sorted Membership Podcast Join the Social Work Sorted Membership on Patreon for CPD & Resources to build your confidence as an early career social worker Email: vicki@socialworksorted.comLinkedIn: Vicki Shevlin Instagram.com/vickishevlin_Instagram.com/socialworksortedYoutube.com/@socialworksortedFacebook.com/socialworksortedhttps://www.patreon.com/socialworksortedDisclaimer Thank you so much for listening. Please rate, review and share with one other person - it makes such a difference and I really appreciate your support.

What does it really take to become a better coach? It starts with being willing to do the work on yourself. When you learn to trust your own clarity and believe that you're capable of creating the growth you want—as a coach, in your relationship, or in any other area of your life— you can begin helping your clients do the same.In this episode, I'm joined by master certified coach Heidi Allsop, who shares how Master Coach Training helped her confidently build her coaching business and step fully into her purpose. You'll hear how the self-trust she cultivated in the program changed the way she approaches her work with moms raising teenage boys.We talk about what it really means to own your expertise as a coach and why being an expert doesn't mean having all the answers. Heidi shares how she learned to trust her clients' inner wisdom rather than feel responsible for telling them what to do. That's what becomes possible when you truly trust yourself as a coach: you can step into your expertise and help your clients uncover the answers that are already within them.Continuing education is an important part of any profession, and coaching is no different. Master Coach Training can help you deepen your coaching skills, strengthen your self-leadership, and expand your ability to support your clients. Whether you feel like something is missing or simply want to become the best coach you can be, there is always another level of growth available to you. When you choose to uplevel your skills, the benefits extend beyond your coaching. It can change your life, too.

Social Workers Matter  - Episode NotesContent WarningThis episode contains honest, detailed discussion of childhood emotional neglect and physical abuse, and touches on pregnancy loss by choice. Karen's story is raw and, at times, harrowing. This is not easy listening. Please take care while listening, and consider whether now is the right time for you - it's absolutely fine to pause or come back to it when you're ready.Episode SummaryIn this deeply personal conversation, Karen shares what it was like growing up in Belize as the twin sister who was treated as invisible while her brother was treated as the centre of the family's world. She speaks candidly about the emotional neglect and physical abuse she endured, and how those wounds followed her into her own experience of motherhood - including a decision she made about a pregnancy early in her marriage, shaped by the same cultural and generational pressures she was trying to understand.What makes this conversation so powerful is not just the pain Karen describes, but where she has arrived. Across the years since, she has done the work of holding two things at once - understanding her mother as a woman shaped by her own hardship, while still naming the harm without minimising it. Karen shares that forgiveness has come to her gradually, a little more with each passing year, and that it has never required her to excuse what happened or pretend it didn't.This is ultimately a story about interruption - about a daughter who became a mother and chose, deliberately, what would end with her and what she would carry forward instead.A Note on KarenKaren has shown real courage in sharing this material. These are not easy memories to put into words, let alone offer to listeners. We're grateful for her openness and for her generosity in letting others learn from a journey that has clearly asked a great deal of her.Key ThemesGrowing up in Belize within a Central American and Caribbean cultural contextBeing treated differently from a twin brotherThe emotional stakes of unequal expectations for sons and daughtersEmotional neglect and childhood physical abuseThe long-term impact of abuse on identity, relationships, and motherhoodGenerational trauma and inherited survival strategiesLoving one's culture while challenging harmful traditionsBecoming a mother and confronting one's own childhoodSeeing a mother as a complex woman without absolving herForgiveness as a gradual, ongoing process rather than a single decisionTransforming inherited wounds into intentional strengthChoosing what to pass on to the next generationQuestions to Sit WithWhat does it mean to forgive someone a little more each year, rather than all at once?How do you hold a parent accountable while also understanding the forces that shaped them?What patterns have you noticed being passed down in your own family - and which ones are you choosing not to carry forward?What would it take for you to offer yourself the same compassion Karen is learning to offer her mother?If This Episode Raises Something for YouIf anything in this conversation brings up difficult feelings or memories of your own, please be gentle with yourself.

Visit SpencerEd.org and the link in this episode's show notes.  [3:05] On with the Show! I mentioned Spencer just now because one of our favorite Risk Managers on Campus is rejoining us here on RIMScast. I'm talking about Lawanda "Elle Michell" Hall. She is the CEO of Intelligent Intentions. [3:21] We will talk about the habits, mindsets, and professional skills that are consistently distinguishing students who are making lasting impressions on recruiters and hiring managers, from those who need to sharpen their skills. [3:34] Also, some of the trends she is seeing among risk students, habits that they need to develop, and some that they need to break. We're going to have a lot of fun! Let's get to it! [3:44] Interview! Lawanda "Elle Michell" Hall, welcome back to RIMScast! [4:09] Lawanda says students preparing for a risk career need a menu of options. The next step would be aligning their appetite to the options, having the courage to create something that may not be on the menu, and having the courage to ask for off-menu options. [4:31] Lawanda says, as we navigate this industry, emerging technologies, and emerging risks, wrapping our minds around companies that don't exist yet and may come to exist, students look to the future, understanding that sometimes the options are not yet on the menu. [4:57] Lawanda encourages them to keep an open mind, keep a creative posture, and have the courage to ask, what are they not seeing on the menu that could also be an option, or how they can co-create an option aligned with their interests but also what the industry needs from them. [5:45] Lawanda and Justin agree that it is a heavy lift for students. Lawanda says students nowadays have such a broad reference that we didn't have, and that puts them in the position to be more creative and thoughtful about the future. [5:57] Lawanda says, tech change is happening much more rapidly for students than it did for us. That gives them a different posture for looking into the future. There's new technology every year. Lawanda says, we didn't replace our cell phones every year. We didn't have cell phones. [6:21] When we got cell phones, we weren't replacing them every year. Now, students are almost expected to update their technology annually. That's indicative of how they feel about the future, changes, and evolution. They have an accelerated understanding of the possibility of change.  [6:40] Lawanda says social media plays into it, where everybody has the latest and the greatest, and they think that they need to have the most updated thing. Lawanda says she gets anxious every time there's an update. Will she have to figure it out all over again? Chances are, yes. [7:43] Lawanda says students embrace that change. They look forward to it, and they expect it. That gives them a different mindset around forward thinking. [8:05] For experiential learning, Lawanda recommends coaching, attending conferences, and making sure students understand responsible communication with industry professionals. If you're not responsible and thoughtful about how you communicate, it can backfire. [8:24] Lawanda says she coaches students before conferences. She helps them understand how to maximize that moment, and not just be sitting there or standing there like a wallflower. She wants them to maximize the moment in whatever way they can. [8:43] Lawanda does coaching. She makes sure they attend conferences, not just the big ones, but also local events that are hosted by professional organizations, including RIMS. Students need coaching, conferences, and responsible communication with industry professionals. [9:18] Justin comments that attending a large conference and speaking to people takes a certain degree of confidence. Justin asks if being in school during COVID prevented young people from picking up social cues and networking cues. [10:00] Lawanda thinks that young people's social connections were declining before COVID due to social media. Students aren't communicating with each other. They text or use social media as armor to make them feel more comfortable and confident in their communication.  [10:22] Face-to-face interaction is awkward because they don't practice it amongst themselves or amongst the community. Lawanda says COVID amplified it, but it wasn't the beginning or the cause of it. [10:38] Social media continues to create that challenge because students are comfortable on their phones and engaging in that space. When students show up, the confidence and courage don't translate from social media to the real world. [11:01] Lawanda says students need to understand social etiquette and multi-generational communication and connection, the things we were taught because we didn't have a phone: you have to make eye contact, speak up so people can hear you; things we take for granted. [12:11] Lawanda says she's very curious. She is intrigued by students, and she listens to them. She wants to hear what they have to say. She doesn't have to agree. She doesn't sit in a place of judgment or offense. If you don't listen to them, they are not willing to listen to you. [12:46] From listening to students, Lawanda gains an understanding of their language so she can use their language to talk to them. It also shows her where their deficiencies are, so she can fill those gaps and help them understand how to take the next step toward their objectives. [13:19] A Quick Break!

[15:19] When Lawanda works with students, she starts with the end in mind. What are their objectives? What are they trying to accomplish? This generation is very focused on getting things done. They're go-getters. Impact and results are what propel them. [15:37] They may be stopped, like any human being, by not having the confidence or by fear of what people will think. Lawanda starts with the end in mind by focusing on getting it done. She coaches them through the process and gives them the benefit of her perspective. [15:53] Lawanda reminds them that everybody they talk to are human beings, too. They're imperfect human beings. She tells them, they're here to listen to you because you have a perspective they're interested in. It's going to work out. It's a conversation. You're not on trial. [16:14] Just think about the objective and keep it in mind to push through. [16:49] Lawanda says students want immediate impact, as far as the next step or thing, and instant feedback, but not necessarily instant completion. If they have a big goal, or big things to accomplish, it's not going to happen in a moment. [17:09] They want instant feedback. They don't want to be told they will figure it out later. Do they follow up? They want to know that this step is complete to get ready to go to the next step. Lawanda says that is realistic, and it accelerates what they're trying to accomplish.  [17:36] Justin says that his daughter zones out over context when she asks for help with her homework. She just wants the instant answer. That's the future workforce of the industry. [18:23] Lawanda says the students don't value context as much as earlier generations. Our responsibility as a generation is to help them learn how to think. Critical thinking is a dying art. Lawanda challenges them on how to think things through. [18:42] If they ask a question, Lawanda may ask them another question to help them think through it, and walk them through the thinking process, versus just giving them an answer. Also, she may use a reference that they have in their world. [19:03] Lawanda has godchildren who are young enough to keep her fresh with what's popular. Lawanda likes to use a reference that's familiar to students, to pull them into the thinking game; thinking through a process. Just asking and getting the answer is not transformative. [19:36] Justin says we don't want them always asking their phones for the answers. Lawanda says that flattens their thinking. It's important that we call them up to be critical thinkers. [19:50] One More Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Funding Their Future Gala 2026 will be held on September 17th in New York City at the Waldorf Astoria. This year's honorees are two of our recent guests, Sierra Signorelli of Zurich and Marya Propis of RT Specialty. [20:14] A link to the Gala is in this episode's show notes. [20:18] The Spencer Educational Foundation's Internship Grant applications opened on August 15th and will close on October 15th. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [20:39] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Lawanda Hall! [21:16] Lawanda says there is a communication gap between generations. That's not new. Every generation has that gap of understanding, based on where they sit. The socio-emotional gap is new and growing, created partly by the helicopter parenting, everybody-gets-a-trophy approach. [21:42] Lawanda says people who are entering the workforce are looking to work and contribute to make a living. People who are hiring are looking for that, too. They're looking for a good work ethic. The disconnect is in the how. The work they do hasn't changed as much as how they do it. [22:09] Lawanda has heard of people bringing their parents to work to advocate on their behalf because they don't have the courage to have the conversation with their boss. She has heard of this generation bringing their parents into interviews, because they're not sure what to do. [22:50] Lawanda leans into her curiosity and asks, How did we get here? Why are students not courageous enough or able to do these things on their own in their early 20s? She has questions of parents and questions of students, and the educational institutions? What are we not doing? [23:21] Lawanda says we have co-created this. We can't just put it on the students. They didn't raise themselves. They're not in a silo. We have to look at the entire environment and ask, Who contributed, how, and why? [23:40] Lawanda continues, Why are we here where we don't have adults who have the courage to show up in the way that they have in generations past? Justin displays his shock at the scenario. Lawanda doesn't know if the parents volunteer or if the students ask them to go. [24:39] Lawanda wants to examine that construct and ask what's going on here. Parents have gone from coaching to coddling. Lawanda says that's a big contributor to students' inability to sit as an adult with other adults, have courageous conversations, and show up with confidence. [25:08] Lawanda says if she had asked one of her parents to go to an interview with her, they would have laughed and told her she was crazy. They would not have entertained that. Why are parents doing it? These children did not raise themselves. [25:24] Lawanda says coaching is very important. When she coaches students for an hour, she can see the shift in their understanding. They're getting information, agency, and authority over their being that they didn't have before she talked to them. [25:40] Lawanda says, for some reason, there are parents who are not handing over agency and authority to students at the time that they need to, so you have 25- and 30-year-old teenagers who don't understand how to adult in the workforce. That is a big disconnect. [26:05] Lawanda says students are smart and capable of doing the work. How they show up for work, and the socio-emotional disconnect, is one of the biggest challenges for this generation of students and employees. It feels like babysitting. A business is not a day-care. [26:29] Lawanda says, you want them to come in, do work, and contribute, without having to feel like you need a whole team of Social Workers in HR to make sure that employees are OK. That's counterproductive and antithetical to adulting and what you expect from an adult. [27:35] Lawanda says judgment and criticism create more distance. Our goal is not to create more distance, but to close the gap, embrace them, bring them forward, and call them up into their power, into their authority, and hand over the agency to them, so that they understand. [27:48] It's not that they can't do it. They haven't been given permission to do it. They lack social opportunities in their everyday life, the things we took for granted, like going outside and playing kickball and hanging out with other kids. [28:06] You learn so much in that space. Your confidence grows, your courage grows, your problem-solving skills, and your thinking skills; all these things are taking place. These students aren't getting that. [28:17] They're in their room on their phones, scrolling, hearing opinions, giving opinions, being judged, judging, and not socializing. Justin says, it's all noise; it's not constructive. There's a difference between controlled chaos and chaos. Justin will not sit in on his kid's job interviews. [28:40] Lawanda says it starts before job interviews. At some point, you hand over the agency and say, you handle that on your own and then come back and tell me how it worked out. If you need me to come, I will, but you do it first, and let's see how it works out. [29:27] In restaurants, Justin makes sure that his children deal with the server. They hear and speak, and they know what they want. He doesn't speak for them. [29:43] Lawanda says that when you speak for your children forever, you never hand them their agency. You teach them that their voice is not valuable, that their voice doesn't matter, and that they don't have to think or speak up for themselves. That's not healthy evolution. [30:40] Lawanda says Spencer Educational Foundation is amazing. They do more than write checks. They embrace experiences for students. They give them opportunities to engage in industry exposure. They are great at holding folks accountable for how they spend the money. [31:08] Spencer Educational Foundation makes sure their dollars have wings, that evolution and growth are happening, and whatever the intention is for the money, that it is happening within the organizations and institutions they support. [31:26] Lawanda says this creates accountability and an environment of respect, generation after generation. Lawanda is happy to be part of the Spencer family. She also encourages others to be part of the Spencer family. [31:51] Lawanda says Spencer Educational Foundation is a place that operates with amazing integrity; she knows it will be around for a long time, just based on how they do business; not just what they do, but also how they do it. [32:07] Lawanda says, Spencer Educational Foundation is a beautiful investment of not just dollars, but also understanding, and a beautiful culture of accountability. [32:24] Lawanda is in Atlanta, Georgia. Justin mentions that RIMS has a very active chapter in Atlanta. Justin asks Lawanda what she would hope every RIMS chapter listening today would do to better support students and strengthen the next generation of risk professionals,  [32:48] Lawanda says, it's simple, but it's a big impact: Give the mic to the students. Lawanda has been in RIMS since she was in college. One thing the Atlanta chapter did was to have a session where students would do a case study on a topic and present it to the professionals. [33:12] Lawanda says every year, students had an opportunity to present their case study. When Lawanda was in school, they presented on TRIA because it was new. The professionals wanted to know more about it, so the students worked with professors to understand it and prepare it. [34:01] Lawanda says, We were able to present that to them and add value to their experiences, and also add a tremendous amount of confidence that encouraged the students to know they were valuable to the professionals, and the professionals were valuable to the students. [34:14] Lawanda says we have to be open to allowing ourselves to learn from the students and value their voice. When we value their voice, it calls them to understand the importance of their voice and having agency over their voice. That's one thing chapters can do to help students. [34:54] Justin is glad Lawanda brought up the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA), because next week's guest is former RIMS President Janice Ochenkowski, who was instrumental in helping Congress understand the importance of TRIA in its earliest stages. [35:08] Next week we are going to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th  terrorist attacks, here on RIMScast with her. [35:22] Lawanda says in 25 years, she went from being mentored to being a mentor; Impact does not come in a one-size-fits-all package. You can have impact in a five-minute conversation and give them the opportunity to learn from your missteps or your mistakes in the industry. [35:50] You can have a longer relationship as a mentor, where you do check-ins and touchpoints, and kind of coach and cultivate, and help someone to understand what their possibilities are in different segments of their career. [36:08] Lawanda says she has understood that just because things are packaged a certain way doesn't mean that's the only packaging it can exist in. Micromentoring is valuable because not everyone has the capacity to take on a mentor for a year or six months. [36:34] Lawanda says if you encounter somebody, and spend three to five minutes with them, and give them the benefit of a lesson that you've learned, it can be a seed that will blossom beautifully along the way. Understand that impact exists in a variety of packages. [36:56] Justin says, It has been such a delight to see you! I hope to see you again at RISKWORLD 2027 in New Orleans. Lawanda says she loves New Orleans and looks forward to being in that space for some good, productive meetings, and some really good food. [37:24] Lawanda, we appreciate all you do for our next generation of risk professionals. Your affiliation with Spencer is always valued. I look forward to seeing you in April!

The career decision you made in one phase of your life does not have to be the career decision you live with for the rest of your life.As you get older and gain more experience, your life changes, your responsibilities change, your financial needs change, and you start learning a whole lot more about what you do and don't want from your work.The problem is that even when you know you want something different, you may only know how to get the same types of jobs you've always had.Which, when left unaddressed long enough, can leave you feeling stuck in a career that made sense for you 5 or 10 years ago but no longer fits who you are now or what you need now.Your career should be able to change as you change.But the question you should ask yourself is:Do you know the process to make that change happen?Do you know how to navigate identifying what you want next in a job?Do you know how to find the exact types of jobs that align with your new wants, needs, and desires?And do you know how to position yourself in the competitive job market of today to get the jobs you want with the experience and education you already have?If not, Cohort 23 of the Micro to Macro Career Accelerator™ for Social Workers registration will open next month.And if you're ready to learn the proven process to get the macro social work jobs you want on repeat.Click the link and visit https://macroandpaid.com/ to schedule a free “Get to Know You Chat” to see if the Micro To Macro Career Accelerator is a good fit for you.Not ready to join the accelerator?

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of  the AandF podcast.  In this episode we rage across a couple of matters that impact on many families, power dynamics with social workers. After a Tramadol start and Scott's good news we get distracted by the complicated relationship prospective adopters and foster carers can have with their social workers. The power dynamics are often set against applicants and what questions are appropriate and what are not. How do we push back and can we question the questions, it's not simple.  If you want to read the research mentioned you can do that here. If you want to listen to Scott's radio documentary on FASD you can do that here.  As always if you've experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook page, BlueSky or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com

In this segment, our guest Sandra Barros shares with us her family life to decode immigrant parenting choices and how generational messages of identity are internalized. We explored "Spanish only" homes discussing how assimilation, discrimination, and collective trauma influence the choices of parents. Sandra reflects on her therapeutic work and draws how these internalized messages produce shame, while offering strategies for finding healing through collective action during times of political distress and decompressing on an individualistic and collectivistic level.    About today's guest: Sandra Barros, LCSW-QS  (she, her, ella) believes that everyone deserves a life grounded in purpose, empowerment, emotional well-being, and fulfilling relationships. She believes we do this together, in community. Through a warm, nonjudgmental approach, she works collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths and inner wisdom to address life challenges. Some of her areas of passion include nurturing self-confidence, cultivating fulfilling relationships, transforming trauma and loss into strength and meaning, overcoming imposter syndrome and anxiety (moving from perfectionism and fear toward grounded purpose), and fostering healing and empowerment from racial injustice for BIPOC folks, activists and community organizers. She also supports harm reduction, mindful self-care, and 12-step recovery approaches that emphasize self-kindness, for both alcohol use and challenges with emotional eating. As a racial justice organizer for over 20 years and the daughter of Colombian immigrants, Sandra is passionate about racial, immigrant, gender, and 2SLGBTQIA+ justice. Sandra provides Clinical Supervision for Social Workers wanting support developing a Liberation Psychology and De-Colonial approach to therapeutic practice.

Sports Social Work Is Booming: NIL, Athlete Mental Health & Careers | Dr. Matthew MooreDr. Matthew Moore joins Diversified Game to break down the rapidly growing field of sport social work and what it actually takes to build a career helping athletes beyond the scoreboard.Dr. Moore is Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Kentucky College of Social Work, co-founder of the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports, founder/editor of the Sport Social Work Journal, and a leader in sport social work education and research.We get into the questions people usually avoid: Do sports social work certificates actually help you get hired? Are relationships and real athletic experience more valuable than credentials? Should social workers pursue a PhD or DSW? Why are many PhD programs funded while DSW programs often are not? Where does AI help research, and where does it fall short?The conversation goes deeper into NIL, athlete protection, dual relationships, financial literacy, youth burnout, international athletes, recruiting in Africa, and the danger of making athletic identity a young person's entire identity. Dr. Moore explains why collegiate and community sports are seeing some of the strongest growth opportunities for social workers and why social work, psychology, psychiatry, coaching, and athletic training should work together instead of competing.We also discuss the University of Kentucky's sport social work education pathways, career networking, his sport social work textbook, and a new comprehensive sport social work handbook being developed with more than 100 international experts.GUESTDr. Matthew MooreUniversity of Kentucky College of Social WorkEmail: mattmoore@uky.eduAlliance of Social Workers in SportsSport Social Work JournalLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results.

Aug. 27, 2026 - We explore two bills designed to smooth out the licensure process for aspiring social workers. Our guest is Todd Karlin, chief program officer at Astor Services.

This week I've been watching the Lindsey Clancy trial, and I couldn't stop thinking about what it reveals about giving evidence, professional credibility, and how quickly a badly placed comma or a defensive answer can unravel someone's testimony.But this episode isn't really about the trial. It's about something new social workers ask me constantly: how do I get good at court? How do I prepare for giving evidence?Here's the truth. Court skills don't start in the witness box. They start at the first knock on the door. If you can't observe, record, and analyse confidently on a home visit, you can't write an assessment that holds up in court. The skills are the same skills, just at different stages.If you're newly qualified and building those foundations, the Starting in Social Work Summer Bundle has everything you need, home visit masterclass, HR masterclass, interview skills, and the Starting in Social Work podcast series.

This episode opens differently. Before anything else, I pause to pay tribute to Professor Jason Arday, the youngest Black professor in Cambridge's history, who died after years of sustained public scrutiny. It's a moment to name a name, honour a life, and reflect on the particular weight carried by those who rise while being watched for a mistake.From there, the episode moves into a solo adaptation of the presentation I delivered for SCAPA, "Why Policies Fail Without Reflective Practice." Drawing on my doctoral work on Bion and Isabel Menzies Lyth, I unpack why even the best-written safeguarding policy collapses without the relational infrastructure of reflective supervision behind it, and what inspectors, leaders, and practitioners alike miss when they mistake procedure for practice.In This EpisodeA Tribute to Professor Jason Arday: I pause the usual format to honour Professor Jason Arday, who died in London following years of sustained media scrutiny after becoming Cambridge's youngest Black professor. Rather than relitigating the allegations made against him, this segment names the pattern beneath the story, using Menzies Lyth's thinking on institutions and anxiety to explore how public and organisational discomfort gets displaced onto individuals, particularly Black people who rise. A moment of stillness for anyone doing work that puts them in rooms they had to fight to enter.Why Policies Fail Without Reflective Practice (main segment). Adapted from my SCAPA conference session, this segment explores:Why organisations can write increasingly sophisticated policy while practice on the ground quietly worsensMenzies Lyth's Work on social defences against anxiety, and how bureaucracy can become a substitute for thinking rather than a support for itWhat reflective supervision actually does when it's done well, and why it can't be replaced by a checklistThe difference between compliance and containment, and why "caring is not the same as thinking"A grounding scenario (originally a live breakout exercise) inviting listeners to hold a case of their own, where the procedure was followed correctly, but the relational opportunity was missedA closing three-level reflection: what this means for me, for my team, and for my organisationKey Themes#Reflective practice #Safeguarding culture #Menzies Lyth Bion & containment #Anti-racist practice #Institutional anxiety #Reflective Supervision #LeadershipDo share your feedback at: adosylv@gmail.comFollow us on social media:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/412169436067530Subscribe and leave a review to help us reach more listeners!Join us and remember—social workers matter!Website: www.inclinetrainingconsultants.coDo share your feedback at: adosylv@gmail.comFollow us on social media:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/412169436067530Subscribe and leave a review to help us reach more listeners!Join us and remember—social workers matter!Website: www.inclinetrainingconsultants.co

n this episode of the Fearless Happiest Podcast, host Max speaks with Helen Malinowski, a trauma therapist specializing in clinician burnout. Helen shares her journey into therapy, the challenges she faced, and the importance of self-care and community support for clinicians. They discuss the impact of burnout, the discovery of somatic therapies, and practical strategies for maintaining mental health in the helping profession. The conversation emphasizes the need for clinicians to prioritize their well-being to effectively support their clients. In this conversation, Helen Malinowski discusses the irreplaceable role of human connection in therapy, emphasizing that while AI can assist, it cannot replicate the emotional presence of a therapist. The importance of self-care for clinicians is highlighted, as they often prioritize their clients' needs over their own. Helen also shares insights on fearlessness and happiness, suggesting that true contentment comes from being present in the moment. The discussion concludes with a focus on the wisdom of listening to one's body and the significance of integrating personal experiences into therapeutic practices.Website: https://somaticintegratedinstitute.orgEmail: info@somaticintegratedinstitute.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somaticinformedtherapies/?hl=enSpecial offer: https://www.flourishingpractice.org/fearlesshappynessFor More From Sober Coach/Substance Abuse Counselor Max Njist, visitMaxNijst.org
