Changing the Way Women Think About Money Pt.2

Who helps the helpers? The My Inner Therapist Podcast supports the education and evolution of social workers, therapists, healthcare workers, and undervalued professionals who find themselves constantly questioning—why do I do this work? Helping professionals are tasked with the overwhelming job of supporting the growth and healing of others. And more often than not, we do it at the sacrifice of our own health and sanity. The My Inner Therapist podcast hosted by social worker and instructor, Nikole Seals, is an inclusive space for helping professionals to get emotional support, mentorship, inspiration, and strategies for reinventing our careers. Burnout, dissatisfaction, debt, and doubt shouldn’t be the norm. Learn what they don’t teach you in graduate school. Join Nikole and special guests as they candidly speak on workplace challenges, the emotional tax we pay, transitioning careers, and re-inventing yourself for a free agent economy. Listen, Learn, & Laugh your way to personal and professional fulfillment.
