She Speaks Social Work is a space for real conversations about the social work industry, practice, systems and human experiences that sit behind it all. Now, I’m opening the door for others to join that conversation.
This page is for anyone who has a story, insight, or perspective to share – whether you’re a social worker, student, someone working alongside the profession, or someone with lived experience of social work systems. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just a readiness to share!
Who This is For
I welcome expressions of interest from:
- Social workers across of fields of practice
- Social work students and recent graduates
- Professionals working alongside social workers (health, education, justice, community services etc.)
- People with lived experience of systems or services
- Anyone with thoughtful reflections on care, practice, systems or social change
What the Podcast is About
This podcast creates a space for open, thoughtful conversations about social work and the wider systems that shape it. It’s less about polished answers and more about real experiences, honest reflection, and the complexity of practice. Episodes go beyond theory to explore the human side of practice, and the impact behind everyday decisions, and interactions.
Topics might include:
- Practice realities and challenges
- Ethical dilemmas and decision-making
- Lived experience of systems and services
- Student journeys and learning curves
- Burnout, resilience, and sustainability in helping professions
- And many more!
