Breathing is POWERFUL. Seriously, this episode had a few blow-my-mind moments. This week we are speaking with Emily Bunting about using breathwork for focus and for processing trauma. This is just one small part of her larger expertise of teaching social workers and helpers to embody self-care for ongoing wellness.

Here is more about Emily in her own words... I worked in social work for 15 years in a variety of settings. For the last 8 years I worked for Santa Clara County in California in Child Protection. Throughout my social work career, I had many bouts of burnout before I found yoga and other embodiment practices which had a profound impact on the way I take care of myself. I have become passionate about helping female social workers use holistic embodiment practices as a form of self care. I want to share my knowledge to help others avoid and cope with burnout that is so common in the social work and mental health fields. Most recently I developed a 6 week 1:1 coaching program called Social Worker Self Care Accelerator which is a program designed for female social workers to go from burnout to balance through embodiment work.

As a therapist, Virginia Cruse was becoming frustrated with the rumors her clients heard about PTSD that kept them from getting better. Why did so many of them believe that PTSD had no cure? That they couldn’t have PTSD because they were not in direct combat? That they didn’t “deserve” to have PTSD, or didn’t “deserve” to get better?

The answer hit a nerve with Cruse: no one had taken the time to explain PTSD to Service Members in a way that made sense. Soldiers were losing their resiliency and optimism in a culture that propagated misinformation and went against the facts about PTSD, facts that are necessary to know in order to recover good mental health and salvage important relationships.

Virginia Cruse, LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor specializing in Military Issues and Combat-Related Trauma. She provides crisis intervention and evidence-based treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Moral Injury, Depression, Combat Operational Stress, and other diagnoses.

Find Social Workers, Rise! ranked in the TOP 10 among the Best Social Work podcasts in the world!

If your first thought was, "I don't have a lot of money so I wont worry about this right now." This is especially important for you! Let’s be real, Social Workers are great at emotions, but not exactly known for being great at numbers and finances - for better or worse. We are not taught about finances in school and we don’t know what we don’t know. No judgement here! I’m with you.

In this episode we ask a financial advisor, what are the top 3 things we need to know about money (even if i don't have much of it)? We cover: - If I don’t have a lot of money, then why would I need a financial advisor? - How do I prioritize expenses between retirement, student loans, credit card payments, and saving for life events? - Can I get financial advice with no upfront costs? Yes, do these 3 things to be prepared:

Get financially organized - get those documents out of your “junk drawer” and get your financial statements into one place. Income sources, salaries, insurance information, bank account information, loans, interest rates, health insurance, home/rental insurance, etc. Know where your money is going and be as honest as possible with yourself. Go back 3 months and categorize your expenses into separate categories. Next you want to look for and identify patterns & specific spending habits that are working and not working for you. Save for Retirement, NOW. Start small then gradually increase over time to get the most benefit from compounding interest.

Alex Casella, Personal Finance Professional, has worked in the financial services industry since 2009 and over those years has recognized financial literacy needs of social workers and mental health professionals.

Did you know we have social workers in the federal government?? No? Me either until I met this amazing social worker!

This episode we sit with Brenda Flores who reveals her diverse social work background, what she did to go from CPS worker to working with the federal government with Department of Homeland Security. What does a social worker do with Homeland Security? She talks about her role, how she copes with stress, human trafficking, and gives her personal tips on what you can do to help advance your career further.

Brenda Flores is a Victim Assistance Specialist with Homeland Security Investigations who partners with law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organizations to assist victims of federal crimes. After spending over a decade working in the child welfare and immigration arena for local child protective services, the federal administration for children and families, and citizenship and immigration services, Brenda has experienced the crisis’s, challenges, and triumphs of those needing the most help. It is not how well you master the theory and textbooks. It is how well you connect with those you are serving and communicate your understanding and empathy back to them. Brenda has spoken at various conferences and has participated in numerous local, state and federal work groups dealing with issues ranging from child welfare to human trafficking and immigration. Brenda holds a PhD in Social Policy & Research and an MSW from Loma Linda University.

Here are her tips for you to advance your career as a new Social Worker:

“Take advantage of all the opportunities you have. If you have the time, go to it.”

“Look around and see what needs are not being addressed and what are realistic ways for you to become involved?”

“Don’t be afraid to ask or inquire further. Ask, always ask.”

How do we form our identity? What are some issues that you experience as a bi-racial person that others may not know about? How can we support our children who are bi-racial or who feel like they look different from their peers?

We will talk about all of this and more with Chioma Moronu, LCSW, 200RYT; Listen in to learn more!

Some of my favorite quotes from this episode: "Being bi-racial and mixed race is just who we are. We don't have to pick." "You're forced to pick one or the other fights when we don't need to pick either one we can be in both fights because both fights are going against white supremacy." "We can be on both sides and fights on both sides. We can still fight against the oppression and the discrimination happening. We are not any less in the fight." "We don't have to fit into one of those boxes. Because we don't fit. We don't need to fit. We don't want to fit. It's not our box!"

What would a Union for social workers look like? How can you start making changes towards this for your own workplace? Listen in to hear more from Trisha and Joyce.

"I'm a Chicago native who grew up in a Union home, both of my parents are organizers. I received my Master at the University of Illinois Chicago, and I've been doing community-based medical social work ever since. In my free time I hang with my kids, and bake." - Joyce Klein

"I'm Trisha- the angry, tech-savvy Social Worker on a mission to improve the lives of our clients by improving working conditions and incomes of all Social Service Workers. I hope to one day become upwardly mobile and finally afford to move my family out of my parent's basement. I attended NEIU for my BSW and UIC for my MSW. I grew up in a town just outside Chicago in a household with one parent in a union and the other parent, without. I've seen the difference that collective bargaining can make. It's time for Social Workers to rise up to demand improvements for ourselves and better social care for our communities." - Trisha Anderson

My favorite quotes from the episode:

“I realized I was keeping myself in low paying jobs because that’s what I was comfortable in making.”

“I thought, by me having less, it allowed other people to have more.” You staying poor does not help others get out of poverty.

Dr. Victor Manalo is all about macro work! He shares the best way social workers can begin to get involved in a career in policy and what we can do TODAY to advocate for the changes needed in our world.

He shares his personal story of how he utilized his relationships and approached his local city council members to create a mentorship program for foster youth.

If you want to see change this is how to do it in 3 steps:

Get started, do SOMETHING today.
Find and use your resources
Connect with someone already doing it and learn from them.

This is how can a social worker gets started in political advocacy

Create a relationship with your city council officials
Don’t go to a city council meeting and expect results
Do research on city council members, find commonality and reach out
Offer your help, assistance, or ways you can collaborate with them

Take it a step further and get started in politics, these are his tips:

Connect with elected officials
Volunteer with a campaign, phone banking, register to vote (Election year is the perfect time!)
Work for your local office
Get involved with advocacy organizations
Network with others doing the work you want to do, connect with them.

This week, I talk with Harleny Vasquez, MSW about how we get trapped in a cycle of imposter syndrome and how to break free of that cycle.

She first shares her inspiring story of being raised in an environment with a lack of resources but found her drive, and her true WHY for her success. She refused to let anything get in her way of crushing her goals and working in so many different areas of social work.

We then talk about what imposter syndrome is, who it effects, the cycle of it, and how to overcome it.

Once we can identify what it looks like, we can begin to anticipate it and change our actions. The cycle of imposter syndrome starts with our limiting beliefs which leads to the story we tell ourselves, which then turns into self sabotaging behavior. This self-sabotage feeds into our ongoing limiting beliefs and the cycle continues.

Even when we recognize this cycle, imposter syndrome never truly goes away for anyone, we develop better and stronger tools for managing it, and keeping it out of our way.

Harleny ends with some POWERFUL activities to change our negative thinking and control our imposter syndrome so we can pursue our success.

Call her out - Name your imposter syndrome. (BYE HATER!)
Identify your limiting beliefs
Change your negative limiting beliefs
Reframe them into positives
Set Goals with timelines
Say your biggest fears out loud or write them down.

"Social work is what you make it; its what u bring to the table."

In this episode, I talk with Lesly Rodriguez, MSW, ACSW, and a USC alum! She has years of experience with direct clinical practice and theory mastery. We discuss the world of social work, where we have been, where we are going, and how our culture is shifting in this moment!

Historically, the social work field has normalized burnout and a lack of emotional support and specialized knowledge after grad school is all too common. I'm not okay with this and am making it my mission to see that new social workers have a different experience! I'm striving to create a community where clinical social workers feel like they have the resources and tools they need to feel CONFIDENT when helping clients through the therapeutic process and they have the emotional support they need for guidance and to be the best they can be.

I am starting this by helping social workers who are new to the field and who want to purse the clinical route. Many feel unsure of their clinical skills, need to fine-tune their documentation, and want to learn from others in the field who are actually DOING the work.

If this sounds like you, then the Essentials for Future Therapists is created specially for you! Listen in to hear more, see if you relate to our stories at all, and shoot me a DM in Instagram to be added to the VIP (Very Interested Professionals) List from some $$ off!

In this episode, I talk all about Self care with Tabitha L. Younger, LMSW; why we don’t actually do self care, what it can be, and why we need it like we need our JOB!

This is especially important during high stress times like this; we are working full time because of course we are ESSENTIAL, there’s so much advocating needed for justice, oh, and there’s still a pandemic going on!

Even one of these happening at once makes us need some serious relaxing time, but 3 at once?!?

😱 Crazy.

Everyone needs to hear this, especially as a social worker already helping so many other people. We need to make ourselves a priority too.

Tabitha has made it her life mission to help social workers and therapists; Services Offered with Empowering Experiences are Self-Care Coaching and Traditional Life Coaching. Specifically geared towards supporting those who are Social Workers and Professional Counselors.

She reveals the benefits to doing a personal “tune-up” every month and her personal process for this.

As a social worker I always had an extra big passion for macro work. I have always dreamt of serving large amounts of people and giving back more than one at a time with my own organization. I didn’t know how what where or who I just knew that was my dream! It was what lit me up, got me excited and passionate! But I let these stories in my head and from other people get in my head and stop me from doing anything or even trying.

My dream started to become reality when I learned these 3 things within myself and I know they are true for you too.

You and I are just getting started!
