I've received a high volume of questions and requests to explain what social work is. I share how I got into the profession, my personal takeaways from my first year of being a CPS Investigator, and where I hope to go in this career. I hope this conversation inspires others out there to follow a career path that is destined to make a good impact for generations to come. Connect with me on Instagram @thesoulcialint and @marissafromtx as I journey life through a social work lens.

It's been quite a while! I give a few life updates while completely re-introducing my podcast and explaining the direction that I hope to take this platform in.

I've been receiving updates from my friends over at World Gospel Outreach in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Hurricane Eta put them in a state of emergency and they are currently on the ground right now bringing medical attention and supplies to affected areas. If you're able to give financially, please do so at www.wgoreach.org/carepay and if you're able to support spiritually, please pray for our friends in Central America who have been affected and displaced from this.
