I've been away from this space longer than planned. Life and loss asked something of me that I needed to honour first.I'm back. And the episode I'm returning with feels right.This is a solo episode. Personal. Reflective. And I hope, useful.I talk about a period in my career when I became the kind of manager I wouldn't have wanted for myself, not because I didn't care, but because nobody had given me the tools to lead differently.I talk about what use of self actually means in practice, not as theory, but as lived experience.I talk about why this concept is not neutral. For Black practitioners and leaders, bringing yourself has always carried a different weight.And I talk about what organisations must create, not as a luxury, but as a condition for people to do this Work sustainably.The Work is relational. Leadership is relational. And it begins with you.

Send us Fan MailImagine belonging to a faith that is fighting to keep you out—and refusing to leave. Some of you in our Mama Dragons community know this experience well. Some of you are still living it, loving your families and your traditions while also working, every day, to make change from within. That tension—the push and pull between belonging and exclusion—is not unique to any one faith. Today In the Den, Sara is joined by Miryam Kabakov, a national leader who has spent more than three decades walking alongside LGBTQ+ people in Orthodox communities. She is the Executive Director and co-founder of Eshel, an organization that provides support, resources, and community for LGBTQ+ Orthodox individuals and their families—and is helping to quietly, steadily shift what's possible from the inside. Sara and Miryam talk about what it means to stay in a tradition that doesn't always make room for you, how families navigate love and religious commitment, and why change—especially in deeply traditional spaces—often begins with small, brave acts of connection.Special Guest: Miryam KabakovMiryam Kabakov is a national leader who has worked for more than three decades on the inclusion of LGTBQ+ individuals in the Orthodox world.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Youth Foster Care, Social Workers and the Juvenile Justice System Guest, Journey Ishmon This Week's Guest is Journey Ishmon. Journey is a first-generation college student at the university of North Texas studying social work and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She has a strong focus on advocacy for youth in foster care. Her work is shaped by lived experience inside the foster care system and juvenile justice system that strengthen her commitment to supporting children impacted by systemic harm. If you wish to get into contact with Journey, invite her to speak at an event or interview Journey. Feel free to contact her at her email: ishmonjourney91@gmail.com Dr. Gregory Williams hosts social work student and advocate Journey Ishmon to explore the profound pressures facing modern youth and the systemic failures of the foster care system. The discussion highlights the critical importance of breaking the silence surrounding personal trauma and demonstrates how lived experience can be transformed into a powerful engine for social reform. Invisible Burden of Modern Youth Today's youth face a unique landscape of pressure that differs significantly from previous generations, primarily driven by the omnipresence of social media and heightened societal expectations. Dr. Williams notes that young people often feel a relentless need to succeed and "fit in," which is exacerbated by the digital age where every mistake can be broadcasted and archived forever. This environment fosters a "masking" culture, where individuals smile publicly while struggling privately with anxiety and isolation. Journey Ishmon corroborates this, noting that social media creates a false standard of perfection that makes real-life struggles feel shameful and isolating. Navigating the Failures of Foster Care Journey Ishmon's personal narrative reveals the harrowing realities of a system that often prioritizes placement over well-being. Entering foster care at age 13 due to domestic violence and neglect, Journey experienced 10 different placements over four years. Her time was largely spent in group homes and emergency shelters rather than traditional family settings. She describes environments where basic rights like privacy and safety were compromised, including facilities where doors were locked from the inside and windows were bolted with plastic. Despite her "basic" care level and high academic performance, her pleas for a safer environment were frequently minimized or ignored by caseworkers and the system at large. Turning Pain into Purpose Despite the systemic harm she endured—including a period of being over-medicated with antidepressants to "manage" a poor environment—Journey maintained a 4.0 GPA and is now a social work student at the University of North Texas. Her advocacy focuses on the shortage of foster homes and the need for "safety nets" that prevent children from entering the juvenile justice system. She emphasizes that while her trauma was temporary, her commitment to changing the system is permanent. Journey now works with programs like PUSH to support foster care alumni in higher education, ensuring that their voices, which were once silenced, are now heard at the highest levels of policy. The dialogue between Dr. Williams and Journey Ishmon serves as a stark reminder that while the foster care system is often "failed," individual resilience and advocacy can forge a path toward healing. Journey's story underscores that a person's history does not define their identity, and that "breaking the silence" is the first step in turning life's pain into life's purpose.
In this week's Weekly Presentation Coaching episode we meet Mary Owens a Clinical Social Worker in Florida!
US Common Ground is produced by Dr. Ziggy Kozicki through the facilities of the MCTV Network. In this episode Ziggy talks to Social Worker, Tony Carolan about finding common ground within Mental Illness.
In this episode of Grief Out Loud, Jana is joined by N'keya Peters-Camille, LCSW, RYT® 200, a social worker, certified Grief Yoga teacher, facilitator for e-motion grief meet ups, and creator of Hope: A One Line A Day Journal for the Bereaved. N'keya shares the story of her mother, Hope - a woman she describes as her soulmate - who died of pancreatic cancer in 2021 at the age of 44. N'keya reflects on growing up alongside her mother, witnessing her overcome immense challenges, and experiencing firsthand what it meant to be deeply seen, supported, and loved. After her mother's death, N'keya found herself navigating grief without strong cultural or community rituals to hold her. In response, she created her own network of support through grief counseling, retreats, movement practices, and eventually, offering those same resources to others - particularly within her Afro-Caribbean and African American communities. The conversation explores caregiving during the pandemic, the absence of end-of-life conversations, and what it means to grieve while parenting young children. N'keya shares how she spoke honestly with her three-year-old son about death, how grief continues to evolve five years later, and how she makes space for both sorrow and joy - especially on complex days like Mother's Day. N'keya also speaks candidly about pregnancy loss and infertility following her mother's death and how those grief experiences intersected. She describes how her mother's voice continues to guide her—in her work, her parenting, and her sense of self—and how she honors that connection by living fully, while also deeply grieving. Note: this episode mentions childhood sexual assault. Please take care while listening. In this episode, you'll hear about: Grieving the death of a parent while raising young children The impact of limited cultural grief rituals and creating your own Movement, community, and storytelling as grieving practices Navigating Mother's Day while holding multiple losses Pregnancy loss, infertility, and layered grief experiences Maintaining an ongoing bond with someone who has died N'keya Peters-Camille, LCSW, RYT® 200, is a Social Worker and Grief Educator who integrates clinical support with somatic healing. Her work is deeply rooted in her own grief history—from navigating the death of her beloved mother, Hope, to the profound challenges of miscarriage and the complexities of IVF and IUI. As an African American woman born and raised in Brooklyn with Caribbean roots, N'keya is dedicated to bringing meaningful grief support to her community. Certified in Grief Yoga, she believes that grief is often too heavy to carry alone and too deep to process through words alone. In addition to her private practice, she serves as a volunteer with E-Motion, facilitating 6–8 week grief movement groups. By blending clinical social work with somatic movement and meditation, N'keya provides a "soft landing" for those walking the path of loss—helping them bridge the gap between mind and body, find their breath again, and carry their loved ones' legacies forward.

After working in the field for several years, Mari was promoted to Vice President of Operations in 2011, with the additional responsibilities of all resales, corporate stores, international franchising, and the training department.

About Senior Helpers® : Senior Helpers® is the nation's premier provider of in-home, non-medical senior services ranging from specialized care for those with diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's to personal and companion care to help individuals looking for a little assistance with daily activities. Our service options are flexible and completely customizable to your specific needs, and your personalized senior care plan can combine aspects of any of our service offerings. When you first contact a Senior Helpers office, we will set up a complimentary initial assessment at the client's dwelling to determine their needs and formulate an individualized care plan. When needed, a qualified staff member, Social Worker, or Registered Nurse (depending on state regulations) will conduct a full assessment to aid in this process and further articulate the care plan. We will then use this assessment in our caregiver matching process to choose the most appropriate caregiver for our clients. Senior Helpers elevates its care for clients through three key programs: the proprietary LIFE Profile assessment tool, the Senior Gems® program, and the Center of Excellence training spaces. LIFE Profile is a research-based technology tool that uses data to identify a client's risk of being hospitalized. The Senior Gems® program provides effective strategies for supporting and caring for loved ones from normal aging through late-stage dementia, focusing on what is precious and unique about each senior at each stage. The Senior Helpers® Center of Excellence is a training space designed to simulate a client's home, allowing caregivers to learn and train in a real-world environment and demonstrate their ability to provide the highest quality of care in a client's home.

Lifting as you climb: a conversation with Odeth RichardsonHead of Service for Occupational Therapy, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust & Chair, Royal College of Occupational TherapistsWhat does it look like to lead with purpose, replenish yourself honestly, and commit to leaving a profession better than you found it? In this episode of Social Workers Matter, Sylvia sits down with the remarkable Odeth Richardson, a trailblazing occupational therapist, published poet, and senior leader, for a conversation that is as warm and wise as it is professionally rich.From her childhood in Jamaica, where staying occupied with chores and daily activities was simply a way of life, to becoming the first Black Chair of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, Odeth's journey is one of accidental leadership, intentional mentorship, and hard-won self-knowledge.IN THIS EPISODEWhat occupational therapy actually is, and why it's one of the most powerful tools for reducing inequality.The mentor who changed everything, and how Odeth now pays that forward.Stepping down to step up, the courageous decision to prioritise self-care over duty.Leading 36,000 occupational therapists across four nations, and doing it as a proud introvert.Poetry, baking, dancing — how Odeth truly replenishes herselfThe book, celebrating 'Caribbean perspectives in occupational therapy', has been three years in the makingA live reading of Odeth's poem Like a Phoenix, inspired by Maya AngelouOne of the most moving moments in this episode comes when Odeth reflects on stepping down as Chair of the Race Equality Staff Network after a decade of service. It wasn't failure, it was wisdom. She recognised that an empty cup cannot nourish others, and that the self-compassion she championed for colleagues had to begin with herself. It's a lesson that will resonate deeply with anyone working in the caring professions.Odeth also speaks candidly about the uneven distribution of stretch opportunities in the NHS, and why equity in development matters as much as equity in hiring. Her commitment to mentoring, whether through the Elizabeth Casson Trust, the Caribbean Writers Network, or her role as trustee at the Great North Children's Hospital Foundation, speaks to a leader who understands that legacy is built in people, not positions.GUESTOdeth RichardsonHead of Service for OT, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Hospitals · Chair, Royal College of Occupational Therapists, Poet, Author of 'Reflections of an Island Girl'.If this episode moved you, share it with a colleague.

What happens when your work as a therapist still matters, but your current business model no longer supports the life you want? A life of flexibility and abundance is waiting for you once you decide to evolve.There comes a point when even successful therapists realize that a full caseload is not always the answer. You can love your work and still want more space, more creativity, and more stability. That is often the moment a stronger business foundation starts to matter, because building a sustainable business requires more than working harder.In this episode, I share the “messy middle” of my own transition and the identity shift that came with it. I talk about the fears I had to face, the beliefs I had to work through, and the steps I took to protect my license while creating a legal framework that supported growth. I also walk through how I built the right legal structure so my next chapter felt solid, ethical, and fully aligned.Today, I'm bringing you into:Recognizing when your practice is calling for a business model shiftCreating revenue streams that support more freedom and long-term stabilityUsing your clinical skills and clinical knowledge in a way that opens new possibilitiesUnderstanding why coaching for therapists can be a natural next step for clinicians who want to expand their impactSeeing how coaching for clinicians can create a path that feels both creative and groundedLearning what sets ethical coaching apart in a crowded space of online coachesIf something in you knows your current path is no longer enough, this episode will help you see what it takes to expand your work and create a career that fits the life you actually want.To being heard and seen, CarlyJoin the Workshop for Licensed Therapists | April 21 | 2:00 PM ET Resources from this episode:Therapreneur: A Therapist's Guide to 3x Your Therapy IncomeThe Coach IntensiveListener Giveaway!If you've been loving the podcast, this is the best way to support it and get something amazing back.

Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Debbie Beech, a dementia specialist, qualified social worker, and manager of Elphin Lodge Retirement Village at Rand Aid, for a thoughtful Navigating Dementia conversation. Often misunderstood or dismissed as a normal part of ageing, dementia is far more complex and far more urgent than many realise. This discussion creates space for a deeper, more informed look at the condition, equipping families, caregivers, and communities with practical knowledge and support. Because dementia is not just a medical diagnosis it’s an emotional, social, and economic journey that impacts entire families.702 Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja is broadcast live on Johannesburg based talk radio station 702 every weekday afternoon. Relebogile brings a lighter touch to some of the issues of the day as well as a mix of lifestyle topics and a peak into the worlds of entertainment and leisure.

Most organizations put "Collaboration" on a wall. Few actually live it — and in healthcare, the cost of not living it isn't a missed deadline. It's a missed patient. In the first episode of Your Health University's brand-new Most organizations put "collaboration" on a wall. Few actually live it — and in healthcare, the cost of not living it isn't a missed deadline. It's a missed patient. In the first episode of Your Health University's brand-new Our Values Series, host Jamie Preston gathers four members of Your Health's patient experience team — Rebecca Dillard (VP of Organizational Experience), Jennifer Kessler (Division President of Product), Whitney Myers (Senior Solutions Advisor), and Carlos Hayward (Business Office Manager) — for an unfiltered conversation about what genuine collaboration looks like inside a fast-moving, mission-driven healthcare organization. No theory. No platitudes. Just the real, messy, mundane, and occasionally remarkable daily practice of people choosing to work together when it would be easier to go it alone. What you'll hear in this episode: Why real collaboration means recognizing what the person next to you brings that you simply cannot replicate — and building toward that, not around it The true story of a patient found living in an RV without his medication — and how cross-team collaboration made the difference between crisis and care Where collaboration most commonly breaks down in healthcare settings, and the small documentation and communication habits that prevent it The one question — "How can I do my job differently to make yours better?" — that builds trust across departments faster than almost anything else The daily habits these four healthcare professionals actually practice to keep collaboration alive, from weekly team check-ins to learning someone's preferred communication style before you assume Collaboration isn't a value you perform. It's a choice you make — one conversation, one phone call, one honest mistake admitted at a time.

In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince Peart and Cara Davis take on a difficult truth in the profession: social workers talk about mental health every day, just rarely their own. Through Cara's deeply personal account of living with an eating disorder while working in frontline practice, and Vince's reflections on what that silence costs the workforce, the conversation explores stigma, disclosure, workplace culture, and the unspoken hierarchy of which mental health struggles feel “acceptable” to admit. It is an honest, challenging episode about vulnerability, recovery, and why social workers are not failing when they struggle, but revealing something profoundly human. Created by social workers, for social workers. Join the conversation every Friday morning.

Most therapists crack a joke in session at some point, but very few have actually studied the clinical art of using humor in therapy. If you've ever wondered whether that offhand comment landed the right way, or held back because it felt too risky, this episode is going to change how you think about it.In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Glenn Maloney, psychotherapist and author of Finding the Humor in Psychotherapy: A Primer on the Clinical Art of Joking with Your Clients. Glenn has presented on this topic everywhere from the Minnesota Psychological Association to the International Federation of Social Workers in Oslo, Norway, and he brings a genuinely fresh perspective on how humor fits into serious clinical work.In This Episode, We Explore…Why letting the client make the first joke is one of the most useful assessment tools you have.The types of humor to be careful with in session, including sarcasm and self-defamation.How a client's jokes can spotlight exactly what needs to be addressed clinically.The three main uses of humor in therapy: connection, reframe, and nervous system regulation.Ways to incorporate humor even if you don't consider yourself a funny person.Connect with Glenn:Website https://www.mostexcellentpsychotherapy.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mostexcellentpsychotherapy/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-maloney-6a447b28b/Are you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?

If you've ever wondered, “What actually makes social work different from other therapy degrees?”—this episode is for you.Somewhere along the way, social work started getting reduced to “just therapy.” And while social workers can provide therapy, that's only a fraction of what we're trained to do.In this episode, we're breaking down the real differences between a Social Work degree (MSW) and therapy-focused degrees, and why this confusion is contributing to a growing professional identity crisis within the field.More importantly, we're talking about what's at stake if social workers don't start clearly defining—and owning—their unique role.NASW Code of ethics- 5.1 Social Workers' Ethical Responsibilities to the Social Work Profession- Integrity to the profession Here.Advocacy Letter Against Social Work Here.Tap Here to Subscribe to the Social Workers, Rise!
